Reservations began on October 31. The attraction puts visitors on a chocobo for a race across a desert course, where the primal Titan attacks and the route shifts from a cave to underground land with flowing lava. Bombs and other monsters appear along the way, and the course includes a stretch with a cactuar. The experience runs about 15 minutes and costs 2,900 yen, with capacity for one to eight people. Guests must be 7 or older, and those under 13 need parental consent. Tyffonium Odaiba is on the fifth floor of DiverCity Tokyo Plaza in Aomi, Koto-ku, a five-minute walk from Yurikamome Daiba Station and three minutes from Rinkai Line Tokyo Teleport Station. A portion of the attraction is being previewed at Final Fantasy XIV Fan Festival 2026 in TOKYO at Makuhari Messe on October 31 and November 1.","whyItMatters":"The attraction is credited to a Final Fantasy XIV VR production committee that pairs Tyffon with Kansai TV and JTB, so the Odaiba run is a three-company location-based project rather than a standalone theme park ride.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eTyffon runs Tyffonium locations in Odaiba and Shinjuku, and the company\u0026#39;s earlier work includes the Zombie Booth AR app series, which it says passed 40 million cumulative downloads.
