Final Fantasy X

Final Fantasy X is in its 25th anniversary year, marked by a museum exhibition at LUMINE ZERO in Shinjuku, a package release of FINAL FANTASY X/X-2 HD Remaster for Nintendo Switch 2, and a trading card game special collection. Square Enix has not announced a new game in the series in these stories.

Synthesized from 30 Yomimono stories · updated Oct 25

Final Fantasy X coverage centers on the 25th anniversary push. The FINAL FANTASY X MUSEUM -Ko no Kioku- ran from September 12 to September 27 at LUMINE ZERO in Shinjuku, built around 10 themes with a Zanarkand photo spot, a Macalania Woods screening area, Nobuo Uematsu's production notes, and early storyboard drafts including Yuna's speech. Animate Holdings handled ticketing and merchandise, which included a Blitzball cushion, a Zanarkand Abes jacket, and a YoJimbo coin purse.

The anniversary also reached retail. Square Enix released the package version of FINAL FANTASY X/X-2 HD Remaster for Nintendo Switch 2 on August 27 at 7,480 yen, with a special sleeve case carrying the anniversary logo. A 25th Anniversary Kuji lottery launched September 12 at FamilyMart and Square Enix Official Store locations, with Tidus and Yuna figures and a Yuna figure (Sending Ver.) as the Last Prize. A Final Fantasy Trading Card Game special collection with Al Bhed card text was scheduled for December 31, 2026 at 11,000 yen. Lit Baff Apt released seven apparel items on August 24, priced from 2,750 to 9,900 yen.

The wider Final Fantasy beat in these stories belongs to Final Fantasy XIV, which dominated coverage with the Dawntrail patch schedule, the Tokyo Fan Festival, and a Switch 2 release. Final Fantasy X appears there only as merchandise and music: an Orchestrion Roll of To Zanarkand among The Rising rewards, and the anniversary exhibition as part of the commemorative push.
