Square Enix has revealed an incredible dual figure of Hydaelyn and Zodiark in celebration of the conclusion of the decade-long storyline of Final Fantasy XIV. The figure was revealed on FFXIV’s Lodestone site and social media on Jan. 12.
The figure, which depicts Zodiark and Hydaelyn, the dual primals summoned by The Ancients to prevent their destruction, is over nine inches tall, and 13 inches wide. This huge figure is one of the most impressive, and expensive, ever produced by Square Enix to celebrate FFXIV.
What’s more, the figure also comes with a bonus emote: The Sundering emote. Activated from the copy of Ballroom Etiquette - Apocalyptic Charades, which is included with purchase, this emote depicts a heroic leap into the air before a dramatic show of visual effects. It seemingly evokes the actions of Venat/Hydalean during The Sundering.
The figure is set to release on March 20, but pre-orders will be available from Friday, Jan.12 at 8am, PST. The Meister Quality Figure is running for a whopping $359.99, and currently is only available on the Square Enix store, which means that even though you'll be coughing up almost $400 for the figure, you'll also still need to pay a $9.99 shipping fee, plus tax.
The Meister Figure is Square Enix’s title for its premium, luxury line of figures. The line previously included both a Shiva, and Omega M & F figure. The Omega Meister Figure was made available in 2020, and released later that year. The Shiva figure was announced in December 2017, and released in February 2018. Both of those figures also included an exclusive emote.
However, the Omega Meister Figure received criticism from the FFXIV community for a perceived lack of quality. The primary criticism came from missing details (which were pictured on original renders) and some sculpting issues.
To this end, a notice on the announcement post states “The image shown is for illustrative purposes only and may differ from the actual product.” However, if the figure lives up to its incredible preview images, fans are sure to be happy.
