FFXIV Fan Fest 2026 goody bag back in stock on Square Enix store
Square Enix has restocked limited quantities of the FINAL FANTASY XIV Fan Fest 2026 goody bag and other event-exclusive merchandise on its official online store. The product pages show the goody bag and several Fan Fest items available for immediate purchase while supplies last. Because Fan Fest merchandise is produced in small runs, this restock offers a rare chance for players and collectors WHO missed the initial sale to secure official 2026 Fan Fest gear.
Stakes are high for the next Final Fantasy XIV expansion, Evercold, which looks to win back players after the disappointing Dawntrail. In FY2025, FFXIV was responsible for more than 50% of Square Enix's profit! New column from Fanfest in Anaheim last week: www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...
Eddie Gill27I really liked Dawntrail! The haters are wrong!

Andrewkfb4And here I was wondering why FFXIV was still going, then I read "50% of profit" and understood lol
Sunthrone2"disappointing Dawntrail" "responsible for more than 50% of Square Enix's profit" feels wild to read these two thoughts together
