Overview
- Shibuya Ward and Square Enix listed six Final Fantasy XIV rewards on Wednesday through the Furusato Nozei hometown tax portal that donors can choose in return for a tax donation.
- The items are tiered by donation amount and delivered as serial codes on the ward’s tax pages for players to redeem in‑game.
- Offered packs include two Collegiate Attire sets and a Magitek outfit at 7,000 JPY each, a Megashiba mount at 9,000 JPY, four dance emotes at 11,000 JPY, and five Phials of Fantasia at 17,000 JPY.
- Buying all six through the program would cost 58,000 JPY (about ¥58,000 or $362) versus an estimated roughly $88 if purchased on the Final Fantasy XIV store, highlighting a large donation‑to‑retail value gap.
- The offer is limited to people using Japan’s hometown tax system, ties the Megashiba mount to Shibuya’s Hachiko branding, and is part of a growing trend of municipalities using digital game goods to attract donations though permanent exclusivity of the items has not been confirmed.
