Final Fantasy 14 Is Giving Japanese Taxpayers Free Items

Japan has a tax contribution system called "Furusato Nozei," which allows you to donate part of your income tax to a city of your choice, usually your hometown. The chosen city will return the favor with gifts, such as high-end seafood, premium cuts of wagyu beef, luxury fruit, local alcohol, rice, and daily commodities such as tissue paper and detergent. However, the Shibuya Ward in Tokyo has extended its offerings to include digital goods, providing in-game currency for Monster Strike and Kotodaman — developed by the Shibuya-based Mixi — and even Final Fantasy 14 cosmetics from Square Enix.
