The final entry in the critically acclaimed Final Fantasy 7 remake trilogy is set to launch, marking a momentous and climactic finale to a truly exceptional series. Final Fantasy 14's Nintendo Switch 2 launch in 2026 saw a huge uptick in player numbers that Square Enix will undoubtedly want to capitalize on with new and exciting updates, as well as the upcoming Evercold expansion in 2027. Of course, alongside all of that are the expected merchandise and new collections. Among the latter is a brand-new release titled Bygone Serenity. This new Final Fantasy project offers fans a rather unique experience that will especially appeal to devotees of FFXIV. While not quite the next Final Fantasy remake trilogy, this new release will likely delight fans looking to add to their extensive collection of Final Fantasy merchandise as well as those with an affinity for the series incredible soundtracks and sweeping scores. Final Fantasy: Bygone Serenity is a brand-new music box that plays a song from the legendary Final Fantasy XIV: Dawntrail expansion. Featuring a see-through yellow case adorned with a silhouette of Sphene's tiara on top, as well as the game's logo, the music box plays the iconic song Bygone Serenity from the Living Memory area of the aforementioned expansion. The 18-note music box, while not capable of playing the entire song, plays a short melody from it. This is a continuation of the Final Fantasy music box line, which has seen songs from Final Fantasy 9, among many others, converted to this unique format. Much like the previous music boxes, the Final Fantasy XIV version is a pocket-sized collectible with its approximate dimensions coming in at W 61mm x D 53mm x H 40mm. The outer shell is made of yellow acrylic resin that showcases the various components inside. It isn't the sturdiest of music boxes, but its compact size and relatively low price make up for that. You can pre-order the Final Fantasy: Bygone Serenity music box from the official Square Enix website right now. It costs $25.99, which is the same as the previous Final Fantasy music boxes. Fans can expect it to ship in March 2027 in the US, although a firmer release date has not been confirmed. Square Enix has stated on the store page that the release date and shipping date are subject to change, which has happened with previously announced Final Fantasy merchandise. While it may not be to everyone's taste, it is refreshing to see Square Enix attempt to offer a more unique piece of merchandise that goes beyond the expected figures and posters. It is also perhaps a little more exciting than the many puzzles Square Enix has released over the past year or so. Regardless, this new Final Fantasy music box is set to launch soon, and collectors eager to get their hands on it as early as possible should look to pre-order it sooner rather than later.
