With theincreasing popularity ofFinal Fantasy 14, Square Enix evidently is looking to capitalize on the more culinary-inclined side of the fanbase, with a cookbook full of recipes from the lands of Hydaelyn and Norvrandt. The now-deleted description speaks volumes about the contents, and what recipes will make the cut. Farmer’s breakfast, Knight’s Bread of Coerthas, and La Noscea’s Rolanberry Cheesecake were all confirmed by the description, and the book’s price of $35 indicates there will be much more in store.
Unusual merchandise is not uncommon for theFinal Fantasyseries, with a recent announcement ofFinal Fantasy 7 Remakephone chargersshowing that Square Enix is not afraid to create some outlandish products. The series has seen many tie-in products over the years, and there is definitely a market for food-related video game tie-ins, as strange as it may sound.
While a cookbook may seem like a strange idea for merchandise, it is not completely unprecedented given the amount ofdetail given to food inFinal Fantasy 15. If the developers are willing to actually cook the food in real life for accuracy, then it makes sense that the recipes would have been compiled at some point for the trips. Regardless of how it happened, theFinal Fantasy 14cookbook is happening, and replies to screenshots taken of the description before it was removed show excitement from the food-loving side of the fanbase.
It appears Square Enix was unprepared to reveal the cookbook at this time, since the description has since been edited to make the book look more generic. The book’s cover also does not appear to be finalized, indicating that the product may be some time away. Fortunately, Wario64’s screenshots give fans a tantalizing description of the delicious treats included, andFinal Fantasygains another point to use in the even more outlandishwrestling tournament RPG war.
