Remember those crooks selling unlicensed sword replicas from the Final Fantasy series? To be blunt, the folks over at Square Enix weren’t very happy about it, having slapped four wholesalers with a lawsuit last February.

Turns out Square Enix have reached an agreement with the defendants named in the case. In addition to issuing the apology below, the wholesalers have agreed to pay a consent judgment for $600,000 out of court. The wholesalers named are Edgework Imports, Inc., Top Swords, Inc., and Wholesale Gallery.

“We regret having sold unauthorized replica merchandise based on the FINAL FANTASY franchise to our customers. We would not have begun importing and selling these swords if we knew that Square Enix would respond so aggressively to stop us. We will never make this mistake again.”

The fourth defendant, California-based Pacific Solutions Marketing, has entered into a separate settlement agreement of which details were not provided. Additionally, all parties named in the settlement have agreed to cease selling such items on popular online marketplace locations such as Amazon and eBay.
