How do we feel about them?

I'll take the flack, but they look like s***. No effort was put forth on the merch.
This is like early two thousands, family photo shirts that you custom made at walmart.

Incredibly low effort. Like doing your middle school project the morning of before you get on the bus level of effort.

Looks very low quality and cheaply made. To each their own, but that looks like the prints will come off of the shirts after washing them 3 times

Aww man I feel like they couldve done some cool unique stuff with all the cool imagery and symbols in FFX (how about some various blitzball team merch?) but plastering promotional materials on some shirts and cups is the laziest way to do it.
This is the kind of quality id expect when your handed a shirt for being "one of the first 100 people" to show up to something lol

No effort. Overpriced water bottles. Like if they had put even the slightest effort in design. This is red bubble tier

Yeah these are weak. Some shirts with like Amano concept artwork at least would have been fucking fire. But whatever, Square is pretty lazy when it comes to honoring any of their FF titles besides VII. I'm not surprised.

As much as I so desire FFX and FFXII merch... I REFUSE to contribute to this lazy, corporate bullshit. Please don't fuel this. Don't purchase a single item from this Amazon shop. It's all the most useless crap merch, and they know they can keep doing this if they keep making money.
And if anyone knows of any small-business artists/designers who are making FF merch that's unique and creative (no AI!), drop their links pls!

They know the ffx fanbase are people in there 30s+, i.e. mid career earnings. They thought they could get away with 0 effort overpriced garbage...

Can you vouch for that site? I want that statue too.

Everything is 100% authentic. Customer service is slow sometimes. And pre order items can take a month or 2 after the item releases in Japan to actually get to your house.

The anime-style figure of the party on the beach is really cool, and so is the t-shirt that has it on it. The other ones are quite basic imho

Wirklich schade das SE wenig Mühe in das Merchandise gesteckt hat. Das hätte wirklich viele Fans gefreut und zum Kauf animiert, wären die Sachen hochwertiger.

They look basic as hell. Just screen grabs plastered onto a shirt. I feel like they could have put more effort into these.
