The sheer amount of Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest crap one can purchase in Japan is simply astounding. From weapons replicas to jewelry to flatware to toys, there's little that Square-Enix won't churn out for their flagship franchises. In desperate need of a Dirge of Cerberus lighter? Just a few clicks away.

North American gamers will soon be treated to a Square-Enix store that they, too, can purchase licensed stuff from. Will Western gamers finally be able to get their hands on dozens of Dragon Quest slime toys? Are my dreams of finally owning a Slime spoon about to become reality? Squenix isn't forthcoming with the details quite yet, but watch this space.

If you want to be clued in to when the Square-Enix USA online merchandise store will open, register your interest at the link below. Just don't get between me and my Slime silverware. Michael McWhertor
