Each shirt will retail for P790.00 each and will be available in early May in Men’s sizes from XS to 3XL.
Most people will probably just want to grab a few shirts from their favorite games in the series, as buying all 16 shirts individually will cost you P12,640.
But for serious collectors, some local specialty stores like Retro Haven have teased bundles of all shirts in a boxed set, which comes with limited edition playing cards and other collectibles. Triple Triad, anyone?
However, no pricing details for the bundle or pre-order details have been released for the set.
The collaboration marks Final Fantasy's 35th anniversary in 2022, with designs featuring 16 mainline titles from the acclaimed series. The shirt designs for each game feature the following:
- FFI: The Final Fantasy text from the game’s start screen, and a Black Mage sprite
