It's been 25 years since Final Fantasy 10 Jecht-shotted its way onto the PlayStation 2 in Japan on July 19, 2001. I feel like I could turn into a big pile of dust at any moment, as I remember playing the game shortly after release and being bewitched by the world of Spira. I even went through a period as a teen where I'd stretch my hands out and bow like I was praying to Yevon to friends and family; that's how much the game became part of my personality.
These days I settle for collecting the best toys rather than roleplaying as summoner Yuna, and there's plenty of merch out there. To celebrate 25 years of Final Fantasy 10, you can get your hands on an LP Vinyl Set of the soundtrack, which features a curated selection of 20 of Nobuo Uetmatsu's amazing tracks. Personally, I'm a bigger fan of the Suteki Da Ne music box, which contains a small and adorable rendition of the song that plays during one of the game's best cutscenes.
If you don't want to collect merch that'll make you cry, there are plenty of TCG accessories too. Final Fantasy 10 characters have featured within both the official Final Fantasy TCG and Magic: The Gathering, so there's sleeves, deck boxes, and playmats available featuring Tidus and Yuna. The official Square Enix online store has also rolled out new plushies available to pre-order, so you can soon give the pair a cuddle, which they sorely need after the events of the game. If you know, you know.
With 25 years under its belt, there's too much Final Fantasy 10 merch to list, so I've just picked out some of my favorite and widely available favorite pieces. As a heads up, some of these are pre-order items like that fabulous Eternal Calm LP Vinyl set. It's definitely worth grabbing before resellers get their hands on it, as it may be your last chance.
