Square Enix is marking a decade since Final Fantasy XV's 2016 release with a merchandise lottery that runs through the Square Enix e-STORE. The game's crossover content also continues in Final Fantasy XIV, where the Regalia mount returns in a September 24 to October 13 event rerun.
Coverage of Final Fantasy XV over this stretch is about the game's commercial afterlife, not new development. Square Enix released a 10th Anniversary Lottery at the Square Enix e-STORE, commemorating a decade since the game launched in 2016. The lottery costs 900 yen per draw, went on sale August 3, and its A prize is an Adorable Arts figure of protagonist Noctis Lucis Caelum in his King's Power Ver., which reproduces the red eyes that appear when he activates the King's Power. Five other prize tiers run from a Moogle cushion down to acrylic charms. It is Square Enix's merchandise push for a decade-old title rather than any new game content.
The game's crossover presence in Final Fantasy XIV continues on its own schedule. Square Enix announced that "The Man in Black" (A Nocturne for Heroes) reruns from around 17:00 on September 24 to around 23:59 on October 13, with Noctis appearing in Eorzea and battles against magitek soldiers, magitek armor, and Garuda. Rewards include Noctis's armor and hairstyle and the four-person Regalia mount.
The rest of the coverage is about Final Fantasy XV's music and its place in subscription catalogs. Yoko Shimomura's 39th anniversary orchestra concert, set for September 25, 2026 at the Tokyo Metropolitan Theatre Concert Hall, includes "Stand Your Ground" from Final Fantasy XV in its announced setlist. Separately, Final Fantasy XVI joined the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog for Extra and Premium subscribers in June 2026, a note about the series rather than the 2016 title.
