Square Enix announced two ways in which it is celebrating the 20th anniversary of Final Fantasy XII, with one being a live stream of the soundtrack and the other being official FFXII shirts on the company’s official Amazon on Demand storefront in Japan. Said shirts are only available in that country right now, but we could end up seeing them worldwide like the Octopath Traveler and Voice of Cards clothing Square Enix sells on Amazon.
Final Fantasy XII is the entry set in Ivalice, the same world in which the Final Fantasy Tactics titles take place, and it appeared on the PS2 ahead of the FFXII: The Zodiac Age Switch, PS4, Xbox One, and PC. It changed things up in a number of ways, such as the inclusion of Gambits that involved setting conditions to determine how allies behave in battle and a License Board skill tree system. After Dalmasca’s royal family is seemingly killed and its head captain supposedly responsible, we learn Captain Basch’s twin was the one who killed the king, his daughter Princess Ashe is alive. Vaan and Penelo, two ordinary people, end up joining Ashe, Basch, and the sky pirates Balthier and Fran, with the whole crew joining together to restore Ashe and find magicite and nethicite.
In the case of the 20th anniversary Final Fantasy XII soundtrack stream, that’s live now and includes footage from the game as tracks play. You can watch it on YouTube.
As for the Final Fantasy shirts, Square Enix noted on social media they’ll be sold on its Amazon storefront in Japan until March 15, 2027, and these include images from FFXII: The Zodiac Age. There are four designs available in different styles like t-shirts, long-sleeved shirts, and sweatshirts. One of them features the Ryoma Ito anniversary illustration.
Here’s how the four different designs look. All of them feature the game’s logo. Three designs show the main cast. One features Moogles from that series above the anniversary logo.
Final Fantasy XII is available on the PS2, and FFXII: The Zodiac Age is on the Switch, PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
