Final-ly! The North American Square Enix store opens photo

A release from Square Enix brings good news for Square-heads and Fantasy-fanboys: no longer will fans of Square Enix games have to resort to travel or importing to get their hands on related merchandise, as the North American Square Enix online store opens tonight.

The Square Enix Official Online Merchandise Store is now open for business, ready to sell you all of the action figures, plushies, jewelry and exclusive merchandise your little pocketbook can handle. 

"We are extremely excited to answer our fans' requests and sell our goods directly to them," said Hidemi Matsuzuka, Merchandising Division general manager, Square Enix Co., Ltd. "Now, fans won't have to hunt for particular Square Enix collectibles, and will always have a place where the merchandise is simply a few clicks away."

The store already has a strong selection of merchandise from several series including Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts, Dragon Quest, and Valkyrie Profile.  The Web site currently seems to be a bit bogged down from the word getting out, but hang in there. Go ahead and nab a plush Cactuar, a Final Fantasy VII pendant, and an armful of Final Fantasy III trading arts. Don't be ashamed to show your geeky gamer pride.

Square Enix, let's see some soundtracks for sale soon, mmmkay?

Wow, it looks slick and professional like Daddy's office!

All I wanted was the Valkyrie keychain (although it better be the best damn keychain in the world for $18) and they're all sold out. Oh, and the glaring omission on Seiken Densetsu ='(
Sqeenix made me cry today.

This would have been more than helpful like 5 years ago when I really wanted Squall's charm.

Maybe a ring might still be in the cards but I doubt they've got ring size 12

Hahaha, the fact that it's crashing and burning so fast is amusing to me. Every Final Fantasy obsessed kid in the world must be reloading every ten seconds.

@PetiePal Omg Squall's charm would be fking pimp tight.

This is ballin', I can only pray that I can get an American FFIVII Crisis Core PSP. I really don't wanna have to pay extra for an import AND try and swap region coding. Must. Watch. Casino. Royale. At. Work. ^^

I'm debating on whether to pick up the Cactaur or the Chocobo plush first. That Shinra business card case is spiffy, just wish I had a career to go with it.

White kids with bad facial hair must be going nuts on every piece of Squall-related jewelry.

About damn time they started selling this to territories other than Asia. Still no love for Europe though. Shame cause I was hoping to get my girlfriend a Valkyrie Profile figure for her birthday. Help me Ebay Wan Kenobi, you're my only hope...

Would be great if they sold cosplay gear. Now that would cause even more website crashing.

wow... you can tell square enix has a huuuge fanbase (outside of looking at how many fansites they have and how many copies of their games they sell) when their servers go down after they launch an online store...

Faith this is why you need to come to America, not much unlike Eddie Murphy. We've got enough Soul Glo for everyone.
