Final Fantasy IV is being commemorated for its 35th anniversary through official merchandise and a discounted re-release, while fan requests for a remake have drawn public comments from Square Enix staff about the scale of such a project.
Final Fantasy IV is in the middle of its 35th anniversary celebration. Square Enix launched a limited-time lineup of official T-shirts through Amazon's Merch on Demand service, marking the first time the company has used that printing service for anniversary merchandise. The collection includes nine short-sleeve designs priced at 3,600 yen each, with art featuring Rydia, Cecil, dot characters, and a character circle line motif, plus 35th anniversary art. The shirts come in multiple colors and sizes, and the lineup extends to long-sleeve shirts, sweatshirts, hoodies, and zip hoodies. The sale runs for one year, until July 16, 2027.
The anniversary also factored into Square Enix's Summer Sale. The second part of the sale, running until July 29 on PlayStation Store, Nintendo Store, and Nintendo eShop, includes Final Fantasy IV at 40% off. The discount is tied to the 35th anniversary, alongside the 30th anniversary of Star Ocean.
Separately, the question of a Final Fantasy IV remake has drawn public comment. Final Fantasy XIV director Naoki Yoshida said at the Berlin Fan Festival that fan requests to remake Final Fantasy VI, VIII, and IX face an unreal scale, and such projects could become four- or five-part series. His remarks followed Final Fantasy VII Remake director Naoki Hamaguchi clarifying that media outlets exaggerated his earlier comments about Final Fantasy VI. Neither director addressed Final Fantasy IV directly in the reported remarks.
