Final Fantasy Potions

[Gundampilotspaz]

Today Square Enix unveiled their first major Final Fantasy food tie in simply named "Potion." The drink supposedly makes you relaxed like herb tea and tastes mystical. It contains nutritional supplements so that the company can claim that the drinker might recover real life hit points.

It's set to go on sale in March 2006 to coincide with the release of Final Fantasy XII.

They should release Final Fantasy XII Potions here. Make them energy drinks and have a coupon come with the purchase of the game.

I'd buy a ton of themed energy drinks. I have an image to live up to amongst my friends after all.

[Crube]

It reminds me of Bawls...

Real Edit: Sure it will heal our HP, but what about our MP?

This has nothing to do with VII?

Whoa.

[Kreutz]

Fuck potions, sell me a damned Elixir!

[Crube]

This has nothing to do with VII?

Whoa.

I know... what a shock huh?

[Juxtapose]

Whoa. Sweet~ :D

*laughs at the top-middle bottles' lids* XD

[Hero]

Whoa.

There'd be no point, really.

Anything with FFVII on it is guaranteed to sell. These here are meant to advertise FFXII, which is untested and controversial.

What, is there a Hot Coffee mod or something I don't know about?

What, is there a Hot Coffee mod or something I don't know about?

There's an altered battle system and in most gaming circles change = controversy.

[Siendra]

Neat. Being the consumer whore I am, I want a whole flat of the stuff.

[Samurai Drifter]

Uh...

How can a drink taste mystical?

Sure it will heal our HP, but what about our MP?

Well Crube, that's what this is for:

When will we get Magicite lolipops?

If you lose a mini-game, you have to spend five minutes tied to a bed with this guy.

[Samurai Drifter]

Th-that's a guy?

Geez, from Tidus on they just get more and more gay.

I would glady lose a game if that was my punishment.

Atleast have the Hot Coffee mod on X-2 so video gamers won't look gay when they buy it.

CHANGE BAD!

So... if I lose, I win!

Tidus wasn't gay... he just looked like Meg Ryan.

[darkon]

Geez, from Tidus on they just get more and more gay.

It's the trend... everywhere. Look at mainstream musicians here, they all look rather womanly.

[Dramatic Conclusion]

This is even stupider than the materia marbles. What the fuck.

[Makil]

When I saw this on Joystiq I immediately said "Where's my Phoenix Down energy drink?"

[JesusTheNinja]

If those are glass bottles, I might consider getting some. I effing love drinking stuff out of glass bottles. I don't know why; everything just tastes better.

There is nothing in the world more helpless, and irresponsible, and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge.

How is something which will make your company an easy profit stupid?

One could argue that it hurts Square's reputation to be further devolving in to the "Final Fantasy Company" in much the way Game Freak was known as "The Pokemon Company" until Nintendo made a separate "Pokemon Company." Going further along this argument, it shows that Square has proven themselves incapable of actually making a decent Final Fantasy since VI and instead has to rely on merchandising gimmicks like Pepsi bottle caps and potion energy drinks.

Or she might just not like the idea and is using "stupid" as any other person in the world is wont to do.

[Dramatic Conclusion]

The ridiculous marketing gimmick that does not even try to disguise that they've honestly run out of ideas. As Hero said, they just realized that cant make a better game, so they keep stooping lower.. and lower.. -.-

I only complain because while they make ghetto potions and materia, there is no Cecil or Vincent blow-up doll.

Glass doesn't leach into fluids like plastic and metal.
