It's true that the shape of this bottle is a little suspicious. I am afraid to even think of getting this thing close to my mouth....

(>__<)

@Barts_706: You could always wash it first, if you are so inclined.

And what a party it was...

I see the "Hello kitty vibrating massager" happening all over again.

Demand for this is going to fly through the roof, and no one will know why.

@Maldron:

My doubts are more of the Freudian nature, not related to the hygienic aspect of it...

Still, will anyone really PAY for this?...

(>__<)

It comes with a new Ultimania which makes it slightly more worth it. Although buying the book by itself would be a lot cheaper and it wouldn't come with a stupidly shaped bottle.

I believe that this is a WTFIWWJP moment. I wonder if it tastes good... The drink that is. =/

Why is everyone so obsessed with its shape? There are tons of items with similar designs that no one is harping on about... What's so special about this one that makes these kinda comments come out of the woodwork?

Actually the first thing this reminded me of was one of those bomb thingies with a orb in the middle that's apparently extremely volatile and would explode if it touched the sides...

@Maldron: Thanks, that was a good laugh. If it werent so damned expensive I would buy it just because it looks pretty. Please no jokes... it's just a damn cool bottle. I would be way too tempted to drink it and then i would feel like a fool for wasting $33. Then again buying it and not drinking it would be a bigger waste in a way. I'm so conflicted (seriously no jokes!).

It should of been in the syrup dispenser looking thing that all the items looked like in the FFVII menus.

this is one of those props i think looks kinda cool but i never see myself getting, honestly.

@JTM:

One of the video game sites (can't remember if it was Kotaku) reviewed the drink last year and hated it. I did a quick search for the review but didn't come across it. Anyway, I can't remember the exact words, but essentially I walked away from reading the review with the impression that it tasted like ass. Bad ass.

@Anemone:Drink! DRINK!

@Gamemaster: Don't forget the vibrating Harry Potter broomstick too ;)

SE need to change the marketing for these things. The standard FFXII one you could get on store shelves should have been Potion, the limited FFXII one should have been a Hi-Potion. For 3,000 yen that should be a Mega Elxir.

@Sloopydrew:
Yeah, I remember they had a feature on Gamespot, apparently it was pretty awful but all the squeenix fans drink it anyway. Thats not to say I wouldn't drink it myself if I could obtain/afford it.

I'd buy one.

33 US dollars for a drink???

@Ultrasinc: haha, i take it you dont go to US clubs.

For that price, I really hope it's at least alcoholic.

Potions are not supposed to taste good anyway, only recover your health.
You people will be sorry you didn't buy it and get pwned by a monster.
Now if only they will sell IRL Chocobos.

I actually had the unfortunate luck of tasting potion before.... really really bad... but then again i hate the taste of energy drinks so take that as you will

I don't like the idea of a suspicious looking tube that you suck suspicious looking juice out of...
But Yuna just can't get enough!

Anyone notice how it's essentially impossible to make the bottle actually stand up on a table? You could put it on its side but then it would probably roll away.

I still have 1 bottle of the 1st portion left. 1st potion tasted so horrible and so ultra crap.

Ha-ha, yeah, better stay away from this party van.

The problem is that I have to carry like 60 of these things.

Somebody find CURE, will ya?

There's something weird about that bottle . . . it should be levitatin six feet off the flore and giving off some kind of light. It's a very seductive shape though . . . I can see these flying off the shelves. That box is nice too :D

10th Final fantasy VII anniversary and all we get is some drink in a fancy box?

Give us a FFVII remake! :P

I want that just so I could walk around at parties holding the crazy bottle.

Love the design! Makes me want to sit on it instead of drink it.

I'm gonna buy you a draaaaank!

I would buy one, or rather, I would pre-order one this very minute because as a collectible, 33 bucks is a drop in the bucket. Especially looking at how limited the production run is.

Some people don't realize the "purpose" of limited editions I guess =/

But then again, I pre-ordered and bought the Advent Pieces box for upwards of 600 Dollars and find joy in the fact that it resides under my bed, unopened.

God I wish Lik-Sang were still around, bet they'd offer pre-orders on this :_(

@Sloopydrew: And if there's one thing you can trust the video game press on, it's energy drink reviews.

Hoo boy. I know what's going to be the new hot thing in the con circuit. This past February, there were "Potion" bottles everywhere.

Which bit is the cap!?

That's more expensive than Cava.

When Coca Cola takes one bottle of coke, puts it in a pretty box and slaps the words "Final Fantasy Potion" on it, and it sells for $33, then we'll know that the end of the world is truly upon us.

I think I'll stick to my daily dose of Steven Segal.

And yet, I still really want that. I really wanted the old potion too, but since there's another one I'd like to get my hands on it.

The last potion that put out tasted like complete ass. Can't imagine this one is going to be any better. But then again, who would buy this just to drink it?

Hey if nothing else, empty it out and use the bottle to carry other things like water or booze. Seems like it would make a good flask =)

Further proof that rabid FF fans will buy ANYTHING

OH SHIT NOT ANOTHER ONE.

I bet this time there will be casualties, seeing how "wonderful" the last formula tasted.

Actually my friend in SE said there were some casualties in the office when they had a cooking contest using the potions as part of a recipie seeing who could make the "best" tasting food with it.

Apparently the bread 2 guys made knocked them out fo the office for a few days upon ingestion of it.

... I'M BUYING 3!!!!!11111`1

I'm diggin' the Shinra Inc. logo

The question is:

"How many HP does it recover?"

Potion? That will definitely be my potion, my gin potion!

@exkon: Since it's FF7 themed, I would guess 100 HP.

Now, if they release a X-Potion...!

i want one of this and one of the old version :)

In regards to Dolomite being a nutritional supplement, "A far safer strategy is to avoid using dolomite as a supplement altogether" according to Wikipedia, mostly because Dolomite often forms around lead ore deposits. So if the taste of this one doesn't kill you, the potential dolomite/lead cocktail might!

They should kept the limited run to 9999 bottles instead.

This is how they're funding their next-gen line-up. Want FF13? Drink up, bitches!

Okay, thats a dildo. End of story.

They say it's inspired by Sephiroth so that would explain the taste and high chance of death.

I wonder how my HP i have anyway :s

Who the hell buys this stuff? Sa
