Final Fantasy XIV Online players have a chance to soar through the skies in style with the newly released “Magical Parasol” mount, now available for purchase in the game’s store. For a price of $24, players can ride on an enchanted umbrella that turns them into Mary Poppins. The parasol is designed with a magical spell to grant flight, allowing players to float across the skies while leaving beautiful blue blossoms in their wake. It’s available in a striking color scheme, too, which will make it hard for players to resist purchasing.
While the promotion doesn’t confirm any direct association with Mary Poppins or Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, the similarities between the mount and the magical British nanny’s iconic umbrella are striking. Square Enix does not mention any connection to Disney, but that may be due to the entertainment company’s strict legal policies. The enchanting design is a part of Eorzean lore, with the story revealing that a notable Sharlayan scholar cast a spell on a pitch-black umbrella to give it the gift of flight. With the upcoming major patch for Final Fantasy XIV in May and the release of Final Fantasy XVI on June 22 for PS5, fans of the franchise have much to look forward to.
The deep dive into Final Fantasy XVI revealed in a dedicated State of Play presentation focused on the game’s combat, story, and massive Eikon fights. The latest installment promises to deliver a thrilling adventure for fans of the franchise. While the magical Mary Poppins mount might be costly, it is sure to turn heads and add a touch of whimsy to players’ in-game travels.
