Final Fantasy Marketing - Energy Drink Potions

Posted by Zonk on Thursday December 1, 2005 @05:20AM from the mid-day-hp-recovery dept.

New blog-on-the-block GameSetWatch is officially launched, as of yesterday. A part of the CMP media group (owner of Gamasutra and Game Developer Magazine), it is headed by the original Slashdot Games editor Simon Carless. They'll also have posts from the likes of Wonderland's Alice, and GeekOnStun's Michael McWhertor. Today they reveal the news that Square-Enix is partnering with Suntory Ltd. to create a truly refreshing potion. From the post: "Suntory, famous for their whiskeys, Boss canned coffees, and oolong teas, will target a relaxing but energizing taste for the drink. Six potential bottles designs were on display, all in blue crystal, as well as character art cards to be included in the Final Fantasy XII Potion Premium Box..." Hail and well met, GSW.

$75 for a glorified red bull in a crystal bottle with trading cards? No thanks.

Why do wapanese always shoot themselves in the foot with this treasure box stuff? It's either nothing, or in a version completely out of your price reach.
