Why it matters

Square Enix is selling merchandise of a bug it already patched out, which turns a removed glitch into a product line while the character is still fresh in players' memory.

Key Facts

  • The SQUARE ENIX POP UP STORE runs November 11, 2026 to January 11, 2027 at MARK IS Minato Mirai.
  • The store is tied to the Yokohama Minato Mirai Winter Holiday 2026 Dragon Quest x Final Fantasy event.
  • The Lv1 antelope appeared in Coerthas Western Highlands in Final Fantasy XIV patch 7.4 on December 16, 2025.
  • The NPC was nicknamed Mu and was removed in a December 25 HotFix.
  • Goods include a heat-sensitive mug and a T-shirt in M, L, and XL.

Among the early goods are a heat-sensitive mug and a T-shirt printed with the Lv1 antelope that appeared in Coerthas Western Highlands in Final Fantasy XIV patch 7.4, nicknamed Mu.

The mug and shirt both print the antelope with only its Lv1 label, the way the NPC appeared in Coerthas Western Highlands after patch 7.4 on December 16, 2025. The mug changes when hot water is poured in. The antelope in the foreground disappears, and the T-shirt repeats the trick on the back, with only the antelope gone. Both items sell early at the shop, alongside the wider holiday event that pairs Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy across Yokohama Minato Mirai.
