Gift Ideas for Your FFXIV Sweetie This Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day is fast approaching, and while some may shun this festival of romance, there’s still something magical about a day devoted to shows of affection and love. That extends even into Final Fantasy XIV, where the game has its own in-universe equivalent, Valentione's Day. As a result, it’s the perfect time to show the special FFXIV fan in your life some love.

But where to start? Below is a handy guide filled with gift ideas perfect for FFXIV fans of all kinds ready for Valentine's Day. We’ve even included some ideas for in-game gifts so you can share something special with your significant other and turn your Warrior of Light into a Warrior of Love.

FFXIV-themed Valentine’s Day Gift Ideas

This adorable Alpha & Omega plush

While FFXIV is lucky to have a lot of cute characters, there’s few that pull the heartstrings like Alpha, the cute chocobo companion you meet during the Omega quest line. This Alpha and Omega plushie set also has the benefit of having of portraying inseparable duo, and so it’s perfect for your Valentine.

There’s also dozens of official and unofficial FFXIV plushies out there, so don’t feel you have to grab this one just because it’s on the official store.

A Job Stone

Some players get very connected to their favorite Job in FFXIV, and one way to show that devotion is with a Job Stone pendant. We found a dozen stores on Etsy selling these, while some lucky fans may also be able to spot official ones in physical stores. 

A cute idea would be to get a matching pair, so you can show off your healing/tank duo (or DPS/DPS pairing for that matter). We’ve seen rings, necklaces, bracelets and more with jobstone designs on, so it's just a case of picking your favorite.

A Custom Figure of their WoL

The special FFXIV player in your might say you’re their favorite, but you know you might be playing second fiddle to their Warrior of Light. In which case there’s no point getting jealous. Instead, why not celebrate their in-game character with a recreation in chibi form. We found this WoL figure creation service on Etsy, and think it would make a perfect gift.

Again, you could even get a pair and have a matching set of WoL figures as a cute matching gift.

One of the incredible FFXIV art books or Encyclopaedia Eorzea volumes

If there’s one present that FFXIV fan would love to unwrap, its one of the incredible books released by Square Enix to expand on their in-game world. The Encyclopaedia of Eorzea series takes the dramatic and expansive lore of FFXIV and gives even more insight. The series just added a third volume to its collection.  If lore isn't their thing, the tremendous art books give players a glimpse into the development of their favorite game. Either would make a perfect gift for any FFXIV fan on Valentine’s day.

A commission of their WoL

This one will require a little more time and money, so we suggest you get started right away if you want to use this gift idea. A custom art commission of your sweetheart's Warrior of Light could be just the thing to show you care. 

There’s a lot of services and websites that make it easier to commission artists, such as Skeb, or ToonDoodles, which are popular with gamers and anime fans. But if you see an artist with open commissions on Twitter/X, that could work as well. You’ll definitely get bonus points if your sweetie has a favorite artist as well. 

A FFXIV Time Card

This is the MMO gift equivalent of a gift card, or a card stuffed with money, a time card is the perfect gesture. After all, if your crush is crazy about FFXIV, what better gift could they have than more time with their favorite game. Sixty day Time Cards are the standard, and are available from physical stores, and the official website. And while you’re thinking about getting your beloved into the game, why not consider an in-game gift?

FFXIV In-Game Valentine’s Day Gifts

A Cute Minion

Barring the rare case where you FFXIV Valentine is a fanatical collector who has every minion in the game, a new minion is a perfect in-game gift. If you’re a high-level Weaver, we’d recommend going for the crafted minions, so you can put some extra love and care into the gift. Especially considering the crafted minions are often ones that many people have missing from their collection.

Alternatively, a trip to the market board will secure you a perfect gift for Valentines day. Just make sure they don’t already have the one you’re crafting! You can check their Lodestone page to see if they have the one you're looking to get for them.

A Bouquet of Flowers

Did you know there’s a unique Florist NPC in New Gridania called Tanie? Located at X:11.0 Y:11.1, Tanie sells bouquets of flowers to decorate your in-game housing. You can use this to surprise your Valentine with flowers by sending them via Moogle Mail.

Another cute gesture might be to send them a single Azyema Rose. The item itself isn’t very rare or valuable, but the meaning is instantly understandable.

Something Delicious 

We don’t just mean sending them some consumable food (although I’m sure they’d love 999 eggs). Instead, why not spring for some of the amazing decorative furnishing foods that can also be eaten? Something like the Wondrous Parfait, Pixie Apple Basket, or Cake Tray, are ideal for this. Although, depending on your Valentine, maybe they’d like a huge roast Dodo instead.

A Stuffed Animal

There are actually a staggeringly large number of stuffed animals, monsters, and other creatures in FFXIV, and a lot of them would be perfect as a gift for your in-game flame. From the cute Stuffed Bear to the adorable Stuffed Kojin, and somewhat confusing Stuffed Estinein, there’s definitely one of these furnishing plushies that would be perfect for Valentine’s

Send them a surprise gift from a FFXIV Cupid

An in-game FC and social venue is playing Cupid again this year, and players who want to send a surprise gift to their friends, FC mates or loved ones, can pick out some items to send along with a note. Those who want to surprise their Valentine can place an order on the form and on Feb. 14, the Cupids will deliver your chosen gift along with whatever message you've chosen. While you could just give them the gift yourself, ther'es always a little something special about knowing the gift giver went through some extra hoops to get it to you.

Take Them on an In-Game Picnic

There are now literally hundreds of incredible locations in FFXIV, with locales ranging from sweeping snow-covered hills, to balmy beaches, and deserted steppes. As a result there’s got to be somewhere you’d love to go on a picnic with your Valentine. Pack snacks, take screenshots, and pose with emotes. A creative way to spend Valentione's Day.
