- Quick Answer: Final Fantasy XIV players in Shibuya, Japan, can earn free in-game cosmetics by participating in the Furusato Nozei tax donation initiative.
If you’re a Final Fantasy fan, that’s up to date on their tax payments, you’re entitled to some sick FFXIV cosmetics. The catch? It only applies to those living in Japan.
According to Famitsu, those living in the Shibuya Ward in Tokyo, Japan, who opt to partake in “Furusato Nozei,” will be awarded a bunch of FFXIV cosmetics items that include five Phials of Fantasia, the Collegiate Attire (Skirt) and the Collegiate Attire (Slacks) costume sets, the Magitek attire, four dance emotes, and a Megashiba mount, a fitting one considering Shibuya is famously known for Hachiko the dog, all for free.
“Furusato Nozei” is a unique practice in which taxpayers can use a portion of their contributions to directly donate to the local communities or wards where they live. Plenty of communities offer a wide range of goods. However, offering cosmetic items in an online MMO is certainly one of the very specific perks that will likely appeal to a small portion of taxpayers.
Nevertheless, it’s a neat incentive for those who live in Shibuya and are eagerly awaiting the brand-new content that’s set to come with the release of the latest expansion, Evercold.
Maybe one of the incentives for next year will include an Eva mount, considering FFXIV is getting an Evangelion crossover with Evercold.
