Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy have opened their first-ever collaboration event in Japan. Yokohama Minato Mirai Winter Holiday 2026, which Square Enix subtitles "A Winter Fantasy Woven by Dragon Quest x Final Fantasy," began today and runs through January 11, 2027, across Yokohama Landmark Tower, MARK IS Minato Mirai and the surrounding Minato Mirai district. The official Dragon Quest promotion account marked the opening early this morning at 1:00 AM MST. Check out the official post down below:
In English, the post reads: "#DQFF Yokohama Minato Mirai opens today! Slime, all bundled up for winter, seems to be waiting for lots of people to come visit the venue..." The photo shows a knitted Slime in a red pom-pom hat and a knitted Chocobo in a red scarf, sitting on either side of a blue Christmas tree topped with a gold star inside a shopping mall atrium. A "Winter Holiday" sign sits at the base of the tree.
The Slime And Chocobo Collab Cafe
The centerpiece is Sura Choco Kitchen, a collab cafe named after Slime and Chocobo, at Cafe Fan Base on the 5th floor of Landmark Plaza. It is open from November 11 to January 11, with shorter hours on December 31 and a closure planned for January 1. Reserving a seat costs 550 yen, and walk-ins are only accepted when seats are open.
The menu available for the full run includes the DQ x FF 40th Anniversary Plate for 6,600 yen. Dragon Quest dishes include a picnic basket themed after Watabou, Warubou and Agepipi for 1,650 yen, a strawberry Dragon Quest 40th Anniversary mini cake, Bianca's pineapple juice, Flora's raspberry juice, a fruit tea and a Slime marshmallow hot drink. The Final Fantasy side has a Moogle white omelet rice for 1,870 yen, a rare cheese Final Fantasy 40th Anniversary mini cake, a Crystal drink, a Potion drink, a Phoenix orange soda and a Chocobo marshmallow hot drink. The cakes and drinks are 1,100 yen each.
Square Enix also revealed the cafe's 2nd menu today, which runs from December 12 to January 11. It adds a Momon sandwich for 1,870 yen, a Dancing Jewel treasure pancake for 1,650 yen, a Namazuo and Fat Cat hamburger plate for 1,980 yen and a Bahamut chocolate berry roll cake for 1,650 yen. Reservations for that period open on November 12 at 6:00 PM Japan time, which is 2:00 AM MST tomorrow.
The cafe's event space is also hosting the Square Enix Iron Beads Workshop, where visitors can make Slime and Chocobo bead keychains. A session costs 1,760 yen and includes 1 original Sura Choco Kitchen drink, but it needs a separate reservation through LINE and does not include a cafe seat.
Hashtag Campaign And Collab Fireworks
The official Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy X accounts are running a hashtag campaign to celebrate the event. To enter, players follow @DQ_PR and @FinalFantasyJP and post about the event with the hashtag #DQFF横浜みなとみらい. Entries close on December 10 at 7:59 AM MST, and 10 winners will receive an original free-size T-shirt.
Fireworks inspired by Dragon Quest's Slime and Final Fantasy's Moogle will go up over Yokohama Port during the 5-minute Yokohama Night Flowers x Yokohama Green Expo show at Shinko Pier on November 14 from 7:00 PM to 7:05 PM Japan time, which is 3:00 AM MST that day.
The Square Enix Pop-Up Store
A Square Enix pop-up store is open for the same dates at 2 spots in MARK IS Minato Mirai, the 1st floor Minna no Atelier and the 5th floor event space. It is open from 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM Monday through Thursday, and until 9:00 PM on Fridays, weekends, holidays and the night before holidays. The 1st floor focuses on goods with new art drawn for the event, along with new and early release items, while the 5th floor carries a wider range of Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy goods and music.
Event exclusives include 6 DQ x FF Winter Holiday 2026 acrylic keychains for 990 yen each and 3 T-shirts for 4,400 yen each. Other items include a Dragon Quest 40th anniversary pin, a 40th anniversary Smile Slime, Chocobo plushes, a Final Fantasy VII polygon character acrylic charm collection and the Final Fantasy Resonance Original Soundtrack for 4,620 yen. Final Fantasy Resonance also received a free demo, as covered in Final Fantasy Resonance's Free Demo Is Live And Sephiroth Is in The Game.
Both series are celebrating 40th anniversaries, and Square Enix announced in September that the Dragon Quest series has passed 100 million units shipped and sold digitally.
