Square Enix has announced a new piece of merch based on Vivi from the classic RPG Final Fantasy IX to coincide with its ongoing 25 anniversary celebration.
The new Final Fantasy IX hat completely recreates the iconic black mage’s headgear down to the smallest details, and even recreates its overall shape, seams, and wrinkles like Vivi’s hat from the game.
Sizing on the Final Fantasy IX hat features a 28in/72cm height overall, a 5.5in/14cm brim, and a head circumference of 25in/64cm. The hat is made of a mix of polyester, cotton, and synthetic leather.
Here’s some more glamour shots:
A release for the new Vivi hat is set for September 6th in Japan, with a price set at 17,600 yen / $122.25. Preorders are now live via Playasia, the Square Enix Japan store, and other retailers.
