Lost Media – Final Fantasy XR March 6, 2024

Welcome back to our look into Lost Media, where we discuss gaming content that is…lost.

Did you know there was a Final Fantasy Roller Coaster? There was, for a few months in 2018 at Universal Studios Japan and it was called Final Fantasy XR. It was created to celebrate that year’s Universal Cool Japan event. It featured exclusive recognizable props and scenery, and had a full overlay with original Final Fantasy footage created in VR just for the ride. Since the coaster closed, the exclusive VR footage created for the coaster’s overlay has never been re-released and is considered lost media.

Here is our thoughts about it, and our hopes that the footage will eventually be found and re-released for current VR devices.

If anyone has access to the original VR master of the ride, please provide it to the internet archive. Currently you view the only footage we’ve been able to find about the ride from Way To Dawn, EDAMAME and Yukendoit.
