Final Fantasy's Uniqlo Clothing Line Leaks With A Shirt For Every Game

screenrant.com:

An upcoming clothing line collaboration between Uniqlo and the Final Fantasy series has leaked online, with sixteen shirts on the way for each mainline entry. 2022 is a big year for the Final Fantasy series, as it marks the Final Fantasy series 35th anniversary, as well as Final Fantasy 7's 25th anniversary.

Square Enix has already been celebrating the Final Fantasy anniversaries in style. FF7: The First Soldier received retro skins, based on the blocky 3D models from FF7, as well as a boss fight with Bahamut Fury from Crisis Core. Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin launched in March, offering a new look at the story of the original Final Fantasy on the NES. Square Enix also opened a 35th-anniversary website, teasing the announcement of more Final Fantasy games that will be announced this year. The FF6 Pixel Remaster launched with a fully voiced version of the famous opera scene. Finally, there are hints that FF7 Remake Part 2 news is coming by the end of the year.

It seems Square Enix had more merchandising plans for the Final Fantasy 35th anniversary celebrations, but they have made their way online before an official announcement was made. According to Kakucho Purei (via IGN), the Vietnamese portal on Uniqlo's website featured designs for sixteen Final Fantasy t-shirts, each with the 35th anniversary's branding. These have since been taken off the website.

The sixteen shirts feature designs for the mainline Final Fantasy games, with the notable exception of FFX-2, FFX13-2, and Lightning Returns: FF13. It's likely that Square Enix wanted to keep things simple, as introducing the spin-offs and sequels would inflate the line too much.
