December 25th - January 1st
Screenshot of the party from Final Fantasy V during the first time they encounter Ghido. True to the spirit of the game, which is much more lighthearted and humorous than most entries in the Series, Bartz' surprise at meeting a talking turtle is shown by means of a rather odd exclamation.
December 18th - December 25th
Artwork of characters from Final Fantasy IV gazing upon an immense Crystal. Crystals are one of the defining features of the Final Fantasy series, appearing in nearly every game. They are often a source of power pursued by the villains, forcing the heroes to seek them first. There are nine Crystals to be found in Final Fantasy IV: four aligned with the Classical Greek elements, another four aligned with darkness, and a special Crystal used in the final battle. It is not clear which of these is represented in the artwork.
December 4th - December 18th
Artwork of "Dueler X" aka Mog from Final Fantasy Fables: Chocobo Tales. A recurring character in the Chocobo series, Mog has delusions of grandeur and is a friendly rival to Chocobo, traveling with him but always looking to steal treasure and glory for himself. In Chocobo Tales under his "Dueler X" disguise, Mog teaches Chocobo about pop-up duels. He reappears in Final Fantasy Fables: Chocobo's Dungeon using the similar alias "Dungeon Hero X". In both games everyone except Chocobo realizes who Mog really is, but he refuses to admit it.
November 28th - December 4th
Conceptual artwork of Magitek Armor for Final Fantasy VI. An iconic image featured most prominently on the game's logo, Magitek Armor is a symbol of the Gestahlian Empire and their control over magic. It can fire beams of elemental magic and may have other armaments based on the model, including magically-charged missiles. This artwork is the basis of the armor's in-game appearance, as opposed to Yoshitaka Amano's concept art which is an entirely different design.
November 21st - November 28th
Moogles from Final Fantasy Type-0. Collectively, this group of thirteen Moogles are known as the Cranberry Knights, with individual Moogles assigned to a separate class in the magic school Rubrum Peristylium Suzaku. Each is dressed in a manner that reflects the class they represent. The large Moogle occupying top-centre wears the uniform of the Suzaku school, and is associated with Class Zero, to which the sixteen playable characters belong.
November 14th - November 21st
Deumion, a Superboss present in the 20th Anniversary release of Final Fantasy II. The focus of the Arcane Labyrinth series of optional dungeons, Deumion was a young boy with great magical power during a time of war. When a kingdom developed the ultimate magic, Destroy, Deumion was recruited to guard its power from the wrong hands. He was sealed within the Arcane Labyrinth, immortal until Firion and his companions traversed the Labyrinth to confront him. Depending on the Key Term the player tells Deumion, he will reward the party with either Destroy, Restore or a character's ultimate weapon. Telling Deumion "Destruction" will initiate a battle with him with the Destroy Tome as the spoils of victory.
November 7th - November 14th
An image of the Occuria shown in Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings. These immensely powerful beings, known as "the Undying", manipulate the fate of Ivalice, viewing the other races as their pawns from their realm high in the sky. Though they are mentioned only briefly in Revenant Wings in the history of Lemurés and the exile of the Aegyl, they play an important role in Final Fantasy XII, seeking to restore the state of Ivalice to their vision.
October 31st - November 7th
The destruction of Sector 1 Reactor at the hands of the eco-terrorist group known as AVALANCHE. Attempting to save the Planet from the destructive ways of the Shinra Electric Power Company, the members of AVALANCHE orchestrated the assault which, along with the destruction of the Sector 5 Reactor, caused Shinra to disproportionately retalliate: the company caused one of the city's plates to drop over the location of the organisation's headquarters in Sector 7, indiscriminately killing much of the population living in the slums, including AVALANCHE members, Jessie, Biggs, and Wedge.
October 24th - October 31st
Artwork of Refia as a Summoner from Final Fantasy III. The first appearance of the Summoner job, they can call one of eight summoned monsters into battle to perform one of three attacks at random. Later games would thrust Summoners into important roles in the main plot, giving them particular importance in Final Fantasy IV, Final Fantasy IX, and Final Fantasy X. As a call back to their first incarnation, Summoners often have horns or wear horned headbands, and less commonly wear green outfits.
October 16th - October 23rd
Promotional artwork of Lightning's Pulse Brand, from Final Fantasy XIII. The "brand" of the l'Cie is visible somewhere on the person's body. The appearance of the brand is dependent on the Fal'Cie's alignment that chose the l'Cie, and both Cocoon and Pulse fal'Cie have a different brand they use. The brand of the Pulse fal'Cie is an overlapping sequence of black arrows. Over time, the arrows multiply and a closed eye is revealed. When the eye opens fully, the l'Cie's time has run out, and they will turn into a Cie'th.
October 9th - October 16th
A Chocobo hatchling, from Final Fantasy XI. Chocobo Raising is an activity included in the Treasures of Aht Urhgan expansion pack. Adventurers can own and care for their own chocobo, from the egg until its eventual retirement. There are many advantages to doing so, including the ability to raise a chocobo specially to suit the adventurer's own needs.
October 2nd - October 9th
The Coeurl is one of the most recurring enemies in the series, having made its debut in Final Fantasy II and appearing in every subsequent game and (and most of the spin-offs) except for Final Fantasy III and Final Fantasy V. Its appearance resembles that of a cat, cheetah, or leopard, often with very large whiskers. The Coeurl is renowned for using a move called Blaster which does large amounts of damage or, in some cases, causes Instant Death.
September 18th - October 2nd
A screenshot from Final Fantasy VIII depicting Squall Leonhart and Rinoa Heartilly at a rather awkward moment, having just finished the concert organised by Selphie at Balamb Garden, in honour of Squall's promotion to Commander of SeeD.
September 5th - September 18th
The logo for the upcoming Final Fantasy spin-off Theatrhythm Final Fantasy for the Nintendo 3DS. The title is a portmanteau of "theatre" and "rhythm", describing its genre as a "theatre rhythm game". Players will have to tap and follow various coloured notes accompanied by music. The logo itself parallels the Dissidia Final Fantasy logo with Cosmos and Chaos, albeit in a super-deformed style. Characters in the game are likewise present in a similar style, matching their appearance in Kingdom Hearts Mobile.
August 21st - September 5th
Artwork of the Dragoon Barbara from Final Fantasy Dimensions. Barbara appears in the tale "Tome of Light, The Dragoon's Tale: Last of the Dragoons", the first additional tale to be released for the mobile game after the base game. She is the sole survivor of the Dragoons of Deist and was raised by Wyverns, and grants the Dragoon job to the player's party. Barbara is only the second official female Dragoon in the series after Freya Crescent.
Barbara's backstory draws elements from Ricard Highwind of Final Fantasy II, who was also the last Dragoon from a village called Deist. This became a trend in the game, with numerous characters taking their names from previous Final Fantasy characters, such as Dr. Lugae and Matoya.
July 31st - August 21st

Screenshot of Odin being destroyed by Seifer in Final Fantasy VIII. Odin appears at the beginning of the battle and attempts to dispatch Seifer with the Zantetsuken. However, Seifer reverses the Zantetsuken to bisect Odin, emerging unharmed. Odin's sword flies from his grasp and cuts open a hole between dimensions, allowing Gilgamesh to cross over and take up the Zantetsuken to assist Squall and his friends in Odin's place.
As stated in Odin's profile in Dissidia, the incident is not a fond memory for him.
June 19th - June 26th
Artwork by Yoshitaka Amano depicting a wind drake from Final Fantasy V. The Wind Drake's ornamentation suggests it is Hiryu, who belongs to Princess Lenna Tycoon. This pose drawn by Amano was used in the logo for Final Fantasy V, though the illustration is simplified to depict a generic Wind Drake. The tradition of basing Final Fantasy logos after Amano's artwork started in Japan with Final Fantasy IV, and continued into Final Fantasy V and all games in the main series since.
June 12th - June 19th
Artwork by Akihiko Yoshida showcasing an alternate costume for Vaan in Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy. This costume was released as downloadable content, and unlike most of the alternate costumes in the game, was not based on a design found already in the series. Though Vaan's dream in Final Fantasy XII is to become a Sky Pirate, he does not adopt a traditional costume like this one in Revenant Wings. As Yoshida designed something similar for Balthier's appearance in Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions, it may have been an alternate concept he considered.
