Whether it's officially licensed merchandise from Square Enix or handmade crafts lovingly made by fans in their personal storefronts, there are plenty of items that can be gifted to Warriors of Light that will surely make their holiday season bright.
With the gifting season quickly approaching, some may be scratching their heads at what to gift those who spend most of their time in Eorzea. "It's the thought that counts" is always the best sentiment when it comes to gifting, and giving an FFXIV fan something to remind them of their Warrior of Light's journeys will undoubtedly tug on their heartstrings.
Here are some fantastic items to buy for fans of Final Fantasy XIV on your holiday gift list.
Encyclopedia Eorzea III – The World of Final Fantasy XIV
With an MMO as story-driven as Final Fantasy XIV, the world's lore is an ever-important and often discussed topic within the community. As the third addition to the Encyclopedia Eorzea series, this volume covers information from both Shadowbringers and Endwalker expansions, giving a deeper dive into the histories of the game's world and its connections.
While the third volume only covers the two latest expansions, you could always go the extra mile by adding the first two volumes to complete the set.
The Ultimate Final Fantasy XIV Cookbook: The Essential Culinarian Guide to Hydaelyn
Food plays a vital role in Final Fantasy XIV, giving various buffs depending on which meal the Warrior of Light eats. With the wide variety of mouthwatering dishes seen and crafted throughout the game, gifting a loved one the ability to bring them from the screen to the dinner table can further connect them to the world of Etheirys. The Ultimate Final Fantasy XIV Cookbook by Victoria Rosenthal is the perfect gift for players of FFXIV to tap into their inner-culinarian.
Final Fantasy XIV Job Stone Charms
Every player in FFXIV has their preferred jobs, and some stand out above the rest in their minds. Give your loved one the ability to show off their favorite job with these adorable charms that resemble the job stones found in-game. Whether to wear as a necklace, add to a keychain, or however they see fit, they'll be able to represent their favorite job thanks to you.
Final Fantasy XIV: Eorzea Academy
For the Warriors of Light who enjoy a good manga, Final Fantasy XIV: Eorzea Academy will check both boxes. Set in an alternate universe where the game's characters are students and instructors in a modern-day high school setting, this comedic manga shows fan favorites in unique scenarios thanks to the merger of two rival schools, the Academy of Light and the Academy of Darkness.
Fat Cat Plush
One of the more popular and recognizable minions in Final Fantasy XIV is the Fat Cat. Using its tiny legs beneath its sizeable chonk, it dutifully waddles behind the Warrior of Light on their adventures, making it an adorable companion. This plush is a cute reminder of the Fat Cat, and gives fans the ability to give the minion a good hug like they've always wanted.
"Such Caffeination" Gaius Mug
A frequently referenced meme thanks to a particular line during A Realm Reborn's story, fans of Final Fantasy XIV are more than familiar with Gaius's bewildered remark of "such devastation." For coffee and tea lovers, this mug makes for a good laugh and an excellent addition to their infinitely growing mug collections.
Final Fantasy XIV game time card
Since Final Fantasy XIV requires an active subscription to play, there's no better gift than providing more playtime to one of your loved one's favorite games. This is an excellent alternative to those who aren't fond of physical gifts, and will ensure they can spend more time in FFXIV for two months without it affecting their own wallets. Many players tend to spout "you don't pay my sub," when being told what to do. When giving subscription time, now you can confidently retort, "Actually, yes. Yes, I do."
