Unlock Exclusive In-Game Goodies Just By Owning Other Games!
Get ready, gamers! Square Enix is rolling out the red carpet for players of their upcoming HD-2D gem, The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales, set to launch this June. But here's where it gets exciting: they're offering some fantastic save data bonuses if you've previously dived into other Square Enix titles. It's like a little thank you for your loyalty!
How Does It Work? It's Simpler Than You Think!
Essentially, if you have existing save files from specific Square Enix games on your system, or even a purchase history on the same account for certain platforms, you're in for a treat. And this is the part most people miss: even demo save data for these eligible games might qualify you for these special rewards. How cool is that for a little extra boost?
Which Games Grant You These Awesome Bonuses?
Square Enix has a generous list of titles that will unlock these goodies. So, if you've spent time in the worlds of:
- Octopath Traveler 0
- Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake
- Bravely Default: Flying Fairy HD Remaster
- Various Daylife
- TRIANGLE STRATEGY
...then you're likely eligible! Each game unlocks a unique sword magicite, offering distinct advantages in The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales.
Let's break down what each one offers:
- From Octopath Traveler 0: You'll receive the "Guidance of the Sacred Flame" magicite, which gives a 10% damage boost to your sword attacks when enemies are at 30% vitality or lower. A perfect tool for finishing off those tougher foes!
- From Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake: The "Critical Hit" magicite is yours, boosting your sword's critical-hit rate by 6%. Who doesn't love landing those devastating critical hits?
- From Bravely Default: Flying Fairy HD Remaster: The "Brave" magicite grants a 10% sword damage increase, but be aware, it uses a bit more shield stamina when you guard. A trade-off for more power!
- From Various Daylife: With the "Expeditionary Wisdom" magicite, you'll enjoy a 10% reduction in sword charge time. Faster attacks mean more action!
- From TRIANGLE STRATEGY: The "Counter Stance" magicite offers a 10% sword damage boost as long as your shield stamina is at 90% or higher. Timing is everything here!
Important Details to Keep in Mind!
Square Enix has clarified that the save data must reside on the same Switch 2 console. If you're playing on a Switch 2 and your eligible data is on an original Switch, you'll need to transfer it over. These bonuses can be claimed at any time, even if you start The Adventures of Elliot before having the save data from another title. However, the duration of this promotion is tied to the game's release period, so it's best to claim them sooner rather than later, as Square Enix hasn't guaranteed it will be a permanent feature.
Claiming Your Rewards: A Step-by-Step Guide
Once The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales launches on June 18th, 2026, claiming your bonuses is straightforward:
- From the title screen, select the Promotional Bonus option.
- The system will automatically link with any corresponding eligible titles when you access the relevant screen.
- After starting a new game, head to the orphanage on the second floor in the Age of Safekeeping.
- Examine the desk and select Claim bonuses from the menu.
- A small note: Be aware that the orphanage becomes temporarily inaccessible at certain points in the game, so you won't be able to claim bonuses during those times.
As an added bonus, you'll also receive the Departure Brooch, which slightly increases the amount of in-game currency (tul) and magicite fragments dropped by enemies. It's a nice little extra to help you get started!
Now, over to you! Are you planning to pick up The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales on release day? And more importantly, are you eligible for any of these fantastic save data bonuses? Let us know in the comments below – we'd love to hear your thoughts!
