FFXIV and Jollibee Collaboration Brings New In-Game Chicken Emote, Limited-Time Clothing, and Menu Items

In an out-of-left-field collaboration, Square Enix has teamed up with Filipino fast food chain Jollibee to bring Final Fantasy XIV in-game and, well, in real life, too!

During the latest Live Letter from the Producer details the upcoming Patch 7.5FFXIV director and producer Naoki Yoshida reveals the partnership and exactly what you can get from it. While you can get a six-piece chickenjoy or combo meal in a specially created FFXIV-themed box, the new item is a blue raspberry drink with clear boba. There will also be a limited time FFXIV x Jollibee clothing line with t-shirts and sweaters. However, the big ticket item is a new, exclusive in-game emote called “Eat Chicken” where your character whips up a bucket of chicken and starts eating.

The collaboration begins on April 21 and runs through May 31. Additionally, the Anaheim, CA location near the FFXIV Fan Fest (which takes place on April 24 and 25) will be decorated as a popup event during this time with exclusive stickers to give away. Below are all the details on how to join.

How To Get FFXIV Eat Chicken Emote

To get the Eat Chicken emote, you must purchase a qualifying meal (the collaboration meal, to be exact) at a participating Jollibee location in the US or Canada or purchase one of the outfits from Complex (when it’s live), then submit your order information to Jollibee redemption page. This will then be validated and an item code for the emote will be emailed to you, which you will punch into your account via Mog Station.

Limited Time FFXIV x Jollibee Merch

Yoshida, along with FFXIV composer Masayoshi Soken and community manager Toshio Murouchi, showed off shirts and sweaters from the collab on the stream. There is a crew neck sweater and t-shirt with the Jollibee mascot riding a chocobo, along with a hooded sweatshirt and t-shirt with Moogles eating various Jollibee foods. The back of each one also contains the wise words of Hydaelyn herself: “Listen…feel…think…Jollibee.” It will be sold at Complex.com.

What’s New in Jollibee’s Menu

There are two FFXIV-themed meals. One is a box meal that includes a chicken sandwich (original or spicy), regular fries, peach mango pie, one-piece Chickenjoy with a side of gravy, and blue raspberry aether drink with crystal boba (or pineapple quencher for Canada). The other is a six-piece Chickenjoy that also comes with three of the aforementioned drinks. Also, the only recent item is the blue raspberry boba drink (which mimics the look of the aetherytes in FFXIV), but these are eligible foods to get the emote.

The chicken bucket and lunch box also have unique artwork, and also have a disclaimer: “No chocobos were harmed in the making of this meal.” Well, that’s good to know considering the box has precious Alpha baby holding a drumstick.

Personally, I enjoyed the crossover growing up as a Filipino kid who hit my local Jollibee in National City and as someone who proclaimed FFXIV as his favorite game of all time. A bit crazy shouting “Hey, Philippines!” clapping my hands watching and covering a Live Letter. Speaking of which, I have it all the details you need on FFXIV Patch 7.5 which will be live on April 28. Before that, I will be at the FFXIV Fan Fest covering the finalized details for the patch and the expected reveal of the next expansion.
