One of the Final Fantasy series’ few recurring settings is the world of Ivalice, where games like Final Fantasy XII, Vagrant Story, and Final Fantasy Tactics take place. Ivalice has many recognizable elements that set it apart from the many other Final Fantasy settings, including its unique rabbit-like Moogles and focus on monster-hunting clans–and a new official board game from Square Enix will soon let players team up as a team of monster-hunting Moogles in the world of Ivalice. Final Fantasy Moogle Bounty Mayhem launches on October 22 for $45 and is available for preorder now.
$45 | Releases October 22
Final Fantasy Moogle Bounty Mayhem is a board game for up to six players, where each player takes on the role of one of six unique Moogles and embark on 15-minute missions where you battle monsters and even team up with recognizable characters from Final Fantasy XII. The game features original artwork from Ryoma Ito, whose previous works include other games set in Ivalice, including Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings, Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, and Final Fantasy Tactics A2.
Final Fantasy has spawned several other board game spin-offs over the years, including games based on Final Fantasy’s other cute mascot, the Chocobo. Chocobo’s Crystal Hunt is designed for three to five players and sees each player compete to gather–and steal–the most crystals. There’s also Chocobo’s Dungeon: The Board Game, which is based on the Chocobo’s Mystery Dungeon video games, and tasks players with guiding Chocobo through a dangerous monster-filled labyrinth that changes each time you play. Both are available at Amazon.
If you’re looking for more Moogle- or Chocobo-themed merchandise, there are several new official plushes and figures launching soon based on both of the adorable creatures, as well as another Final Fantasy monster, the Cactuar.
