Final Fantasy 15 Soda Revealed, Is Free If You Buy the Game at Target

Jones Soda, Square Enix, and Target today announced a partnership for specially branded soda inspired by Final Fantasy XV.

Available in stores starting tomorrow, November 29, the soda's official name is "Wiz's Energizing Elixir." Its inspiration comes from the in-game area, Wiz Chocobo Post, which is where you can rest your Chocobo and acquire items. Everyone who buys Final Fantasy XV at Target for PlayStation 4 or Xbox One will receive a free bottle of the soda, which is claimed to be the first-ever Final Fantasy-themed soft drink sold in the United States (via DualShockers).

Wiz's Energizing Elixir is an orange and cream cane sugar-flavored drink. If you want the soda but not the game (or if you want more), you can buy bottles for $3 each. It appears Target is the exclusive retail partner for the special soda.

This is not the first time Target has teamed up with Jones Soda for a video game-themed soda. Last year, the store, the soda company, and Bethesda partnered for Fallout 4-branded "Nuka Cola Quantum."

After years of development and multiple delays, Final Fantasy XV comes out on November 29. GameSpot's review scored it an 8/10.

"While it's safe to assume fans and outsiders will find some aspect of Final Fantasy XV disappointing--be it the shallow story or finnicky Astrals--it would be hard for anyone to deny that Final Fantasy XV is a fascinating game after giving it a chance," reviewer Peter Brown said. "Where its characters fail to impress, Final Fantasy XV's beautiful world and exciting challenges save the day."
