This year marks the 25th anniversary of Final Fantasy IX, a title many players consider one of the series' masterpieces. To celebrate, a special commemorative website launched in March, unveiling a slew of merchandise and collaborations.
And now, Square Enix Japan has announced an adorable new mug inspired by none other than Vivi Ornitier! Priced at 3,520 JPY, it's currently available for pre-order on the Square Enix e-STORE.

For those unfamiliar, Vivi Ornitier is the lovable black mage who embarks on an epic adventure with Zidane and Dagger. His iconic look—a tiny body dwarfed by a massive magic hat, obscuring his face into a mysterious black orb—is instantly recognizable, even if you haven't played the game.

This mug perfectly captures Vivi's distinctive silhouette, turning his signature oversized hat into a removable lid. The mug's body even features details from his denim jacket. With a generous 250ml capacity, it's perfect for your daily dose of magic (or coffee!).


The lid and cup separate, offering a faithful recreation of Vivi's design while making for a super functional and stylish mug.
