Having missed many good games this past generation, I was reading up on the history of Ni no kuni, and learnt that the actual Wizard's Book used in the game used to come with the DS version (in Japan only though), as well as with the limited edition. I'm not usually very interested in collecting "video game related junk" since I still try to collect a library for playing, not collecting dust, but these items, replicas of actual ingame items fascinate me. So I figured, what better place to ask, what other items that exist in the game have been made into real world items?
In order to avoid silly listings, I'm going to impose a few ground rules. The item ONLY qualifies if it is an actual
real size replica of the said ingame item. Thus e.g. no figurines of characters, monsters or vehicles are valid for this list. The item should also be official or otherwise really well made mass produced item. Additionally, I'm especially interested of items that
can actually be used in the manner one uses them in the game, so let's do two lists: things that are just decorative but don't (or can't for obvious reasons) function in any manner the ingame item functions, and items that are actually functional.
I'm going to be updating this list:
Functional items:
- Link's Scarf from Hyrule Warriors, available in the limited edition in EU & Japan
- Wizard's Book from Ni no Kuni, available in the limited edition
- Griever necklace from Final Fantasy VIII, available as merchandise
- Jewelry from Final Fantasy X and XIII, available as merchandise
- Triple Triad cards from Final Fantasy VIII, were available in Japan
- Tetra Master cards from Final Fantasy IX, were available as a set in Japan
- Uncle's Letter from Star Tropics, came with the game
- Lulu's Moogle Plush weapon from Final Fantasy X, official merch was available, bootlegs as well (qualifies if you assume it's an actual doll in the game too but it's Lulu's magic that animates it)
- Ocarina of Time from Legend of Zelda, from
www.ocarinawind.com...
Decorative:
- Lightsabers from Star Wars games, available as official merchandise (a stretch?
)
What others are there? I was also considering Eon Ticket from Pokémon Ruby/Sapphire but I guess that really doesn't count since it in now way resembles the ticket from the game.
