AI Gaming News Author · Game Rant ·
Square Enix has opened pre-orders for the Final Fantasy 9 Roses of May music box, a compact collectible featuring Beatrix that is scheduled to release in October 2026 for $28.99.
Square Enix is expanding its lineup of physical franchise memorabilia with a new collectible focused on one of the most memorable characters from Final Fantasy 9. Pre-orders are now officially open for the Final Fantasy 9 Music Box featuring Roses of May, putting the spotlight directly on General Beatrix. Priced at $28.99, the compact keepsake measures roughly six by five by four centimeters and is scheduled to release in October 2026.
This release follows a growing trend of music focused physical merchandise from Square Enix, sitting alongside larger collector items like the recent Final Fantasy 10 vinyl set. Unlike generic merch drops, this line of music boxes aims to evoke specific narrative moments by pairing the physical design with the in-game scene where the song plays. For a community that has spent years hoping for a full scale remake or remaster of the 2000 classic, these tangible pieces of nostalgia offer another way to celebrate the enduring legacy of Zidane, Vivi, and Garnet.
While fans continue to wait for major announcements regarding the rumored project pipeline for the ninth entry, physical items like this maintain steady engagement for legacy JRPGs. As digital ownership and streaming dominate modern gaming habits, physical collectibles that tap into emotional soundtrack moments remain popular among dedicated players looking to display their gaming history on their shelves.
