A Lego replica of the iconic church where Aerith tends her flowers in Final Fantasy VII recently sold for a shockingly high amount at auction. The Square Enix giveaway fetched $US12,500 over the weekend as fans bid over the rare collectible. Back in 2023, Final Fantasy 7 Remake players voted for which scene from the game should be made into a Lego set.
The church where Cloud first meets Aerith and helps rescue her from the Turks ended up winning, with only two ever being manufactured and eventually sent to the lucky winners of a social media giveaway aimed as a tie-in for this year’s Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth launch. I first saw the limited edition Lego made for the Final Fantasy VII 25th anniversary event at the SQEX London office. — FFVII25周年記念で制作した限定の教会LEGOをスクエニロンドンオフィスで初めて見ました。 https://t.
