The trend of “Hippo Calf” is still going strong. We see the hippo calf trend spreading across all industries, whether it be entertainment, sports, gaming, and more. One of the games that has embraced the hippo calf trend is Final Fantasy 14, an MMORPG online game by Square Enix. The in-game pet, the hippo calf, has become a must-have item for many players when the trend hit its peak. This resulted in a high demand for hippo calves, causing players to seek them out for purchase from other players (although obtaining them through gameplay is also challenging). The selling price for a hippo calf has skyrocketed from 17,400 gil to over 300,000 gil in some servers.
