Final Fantasy XIV isn’t just making bank in terms of box sales and subscriptions, it’s also making good on licensed products. In Square Enix’s latest financial report, the company praises FFXIV and its first expansion, Heavensward, as being behind a bump in sales of goods derived from characters and soundtracks.

During the three-month period ended June 30, 2015, sales of character goods derived from the Group’s own IPs increased, primarily due to the release of the first expansion disc for “FINAL FANTASY XIV.” The Group continued to distribute and license items such as character goods and soundtracks based on the IPs while also strengthening its character goods lineup with additional products from third party IPs and overseas expansions.

Luckily the MMO is good for something more than just selling toys and music. Square reported that sales from FFXIV and Dragon Quest X are making “favorable performances.”
