Final Fantasy Potion (With Added Vomit)

Square Enix and Japanese beverage maker Suntory teamed up twice to release Final Fantasy Potion, which is nothing more than a rebranding of Suntory's energy drinks. Most Westerns who tried the Final Fantasy Potions found them rather unsavory. But, that's how all Japanese energy drinks taste: Unsavory! A Japanese dude in a horse mask decided to do one better and use the Final Fantasy Potion as a key ingredient in an energy potion of his own, complete with a hundred bucks worth of energy drinks and various supplements — and even chopped garlic! (Yum.) The concoction was cooked and then poured into a single glass. The guy apparently drinks it and apparently throws up a few times. "Apparently", because he is wearing a horse mask. This clip ain't for the squeamish!

Final Fantasy Potion Gets Toys

So the new Final Fantasy Potion is out, and it's only kinda natsy — not really, really natsy. Later this month, the drink will be packaged with random FFVII figurines like Cloud and Sephiroth. Incentive to buy another Final Fantasy Potion, but not to drink another FF Potion!

This Fall, Drink FFVII Crap in Tinnies

The best thing about last year's Final Fantasy potion was not the potion. The potion was gross. The best thing was the blue bottle it came in! This October, the FF Potion is back, but those blue bottles are gone. (There is a special phallic one, though!) Partnering with beverage maker Suntory, Square Enix is releasing Final Fantasy VII Potion in tin cans that feature character artwork. Collectible tin cans! That's sooooooo early 1990's. There's also cans bundled with TRADING ARTS mini figures out in November; these cans will have slightly different art. Still, they are tin cans! And tin cans are blergh. More »

New Final Fantasy Potion Dated

The Final Fantasy potion is back! This time it's bringing a supremely phallic bottle with it. Last March, game maker Square Enix and beverage company Suntory joined forces to release Final Fantasy potion, which was nothing more than a repackaged version of Suntory's health drinks in a blue bottle. This time around, a "Final Fantasy VII 10th Anniversary Potion" will get a September 13th release. Priced at ¥3,980 (US $33), the elixir is limited to 77,777 sets and includes a booklet and a oh-so penetrating bottle. Believe it or not, but the drink actually contains dolomite! The eye-opening dildo bottle was first revealed at the Final Fantasy Party. And what's a party without the Final Fantasy potion? Hit the jump for a pic of the box.

Games Ripe For "Reverse Product Placement"?

If I asked you how you felt about seeing product placement of real world products in your games or movies, you'd probably get all pissy about it. But what about the reverse? Would seeing items that first appeared in-game be available for purchase at your corner store something you're interested in? My guess is that you'd be cool with that—depending on the property.
