A special Final Fantasy pen has been unveiled for the series’ 35th anniversary, the only problem being that it costs $300.
No, it’s not an error. Yes, Square Enix really thought one way to celebrate one of the biggest video game franchises in the world was to release a pen that costs the equivalent of a Nintendo Switch. You can see the insanely expensive Final Fantasy Pen in all its glory just below.

The pen is apparently inspired by Tidus from Final Fantasy 10, in a way we certainly can’t discern. In fact, only 30 copies of the pen are planned for worldwide, so if you know someone who is a big Tidus fan and has the money to burn, you better tell them about this sharpening.
The sleek pen is, if you’re wondering, made by Japanese manufacturer Glass Studio. Yes, that means the pen itself is made of glass, so if you have an iron handle when writing, you better avoid shelling out $300 for it.
The pen is technically called a “Parco Booster” pen, and you can browse all the finer details regarding the Final Fantasy pen on Parco’s website (opens in new tab), which is entirely in Japanese.
This isn’t the first time Square Enix has released a very expensive collectible. In April of last year, the company announced a Final Fantasy 6 Masterline Terra statue seen just below that looks pretty fantastic until you realize it costs $13,799.

Never change, Square Enix. Here’s hoping an equally ridiculous collectible floats around later this year in June when Final Fantasy 16 launches.
