With the announcement of the official DXRacer game chairs, Square Enix has dropped the proverbial bomb shell on the Final Fantasy VII Rebirth fanbase. The gamers are speechless at the chaos going down online. Some are hyping it up, some are bashing the collab, and the others are begging for freebies. Classic internet mayhem.

The official Final Fantasy VII Twitter account announced the collab with amazing pictures of the chairs, claiming the kind of branding that would make any true FFVII stan drool. But these chairs were received with disgust by many. One gamer called the DXRacer chair “absolute ass” for ass life: “crumbling armrests and broken levers.” Oof. Another said that Square Enix should go with Secretlab instead and give DXRacer the cold shoulder for their cheap quality. Harsh, but you know that gamers never mince words.

Some conversations turned to price. Some people were already crying their wallets away. One user jokingly said: “That’ll be £500 please.” Others were very open about being too poor to ever imagine having one. Tragic because one gamer tagged his husband saying he vetoed the purchase because he needs to use her setup for work.

Reference is due for this man who said that we should get figurines of Cloud and Aerith instead! Priorities, right? And then, just at this moment, an utterly unrelated rant about America’s birthday and Pride Month sprang up. Because, of course, someone had to go there.

The internationals have chimed in, asking the thousand-dollar question – will these go on sale anywhere outside the US? Mexico? Maybe. Europe? Nobody knows. Details are yet to be furnished by Square Enix, and these ambiguous answers are genuinely making gamers anxious.

And the guy who just said, “Man, I fing need that bro.” That’s the mood.

Controversy, or not, the collab is getting all the limelight. Whether you are on the “Done, take my money” side or the ‘Damn, DXRacer sucks’ thread, all can agree that Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is currently the real deal hyped game in the world, and these chairs are just another stop along the way. Now if only Square Enix release that Fortnite collab, which they are begging hard for…

Alright, so if you have the dinaro and the dedication, then these chairs would be your next flex. But maybe, just maybe, check out the warranty first.
