In the posts, the photos showcased features of the area, including visuals made by popularFinal Fantasyseries artist Yoshitaka Amano. Though the posts are in Japanese, Google Translate will help fans understand the content of each tweet, especially the types of goods that can be purchased in the PARCO store.
According to the Twitter posts, the pop-up store will have a special music corner specifically for CDs of differentFinal Fantasymusic tracks. What’s more, many artbooks filled with concepts and design across the different games can also be purchased by the franchise’s fans. For those who prefer to shop online, these items can also be bought via PARCO’s official channels. However, some of the items have already been sold out online, due to their popularity.

Unfortunately, theFinal Fantasy 35th anniversarypop-up store will only be open in PARCO Shibuya until June 30, 2025. So interested visitors who are lucky enough to already be in Japan during the time frame should probably drop by soon.
