The Final Fantasy X Anniversary Capsule Collection Celebrates 25 Years

The Final Fantasy X anniversary capsule collection marks the role-playing game's 25th anniversary through a collaboration between Daimaru Matsuzakaya and Square Enix. The limited-edition range combines references to the world of Spira with contemporary Japanese craftsmanship across varsity jackets, graphic T-shirts, hoodies, and lightweight outerwear. Character-inspired graphics celebrate Tidus, Yuna, Auron, and Kimahri, translating the game's visual identity into everyday apparel.

The collection also includes co-branded bags, backpacks, caps, key rings, and other lifestyle accessories that extend the anniversary release beyond apparel. A dedicated pop-up installation recreates iconic locations from Final Fantasy X inside select Daimaru Matsuzakaya department stores, creating an immersive retail experience alongside the launch. The capsule will be available for a limited time in stores and online, with prices ranging from ¥1,540 to ¥38,500 JPY.
