Update: November 1, 2007
«©NCSX» Ten years ago, Final Fantasy VII was released on the original Playstation and the game set hearts afire. Back then, we figured it was another RPG that would fade into relative obscurity by the time Final Fantasy VIII rolled around. Didn't turn out that way. FFVII featured a special mix of drama, characters, and events that crept into the deep, dark recesses of gamers the world over and resonated with a million souls. Or something to that effect. The 10th Anniversary of Final Fantasy VII required a special toast and to make that toast, a unique drink had to be created. A carbonated drink. Preferably from Suntory, who also worked on the Final Fantasy XII potion from 2006 which gave the term "sickly sweet" its true meaning. Based on the ingredient list for the new potion, it's a sweet caffeinated drink with the added thrill of bubbles that'll fizz and pop underneath a drinker's eager nostrils. We prefer the new packaging for the potions - durable aluminum cans decorated with the images of characters instead of the breakable bottles used for the FFXII potion. A total of 16 different character cans weighing in at 350ml each is featured in the release and they're sold in factory cases of 24 cans per case. Please note that NCS is supplying the potions randomly - in that there is no choice since everyone's probably going to want Aerith and Cloud. Nearly 5 million units of the potion was produced for the Japanese market so it's not a limited run product by a long shot. Preorders and new orders will ship today. Pricing is set at US$7.50 per can - please note that much of that cost is the overnight express shipping from overseas. View a larger photo for this item on the main NCSX website.
