Square pops cap on FFXII energy drink
Details on Suntory's Final Fantasy XII-themed beverage bubble up; limited run includes collector's edition with special bottle, trading card.
TOKYO--Quaffing potions in role-playing games that boost stamina are nothing new. But why should in-game characters have all the fun? In December, Square Enix and Japanese beverage maker Suntory announced plans to release a new drink inspired by magical mixings from the Final Fantasy series. Suntory today revealed that the drink will be named Final Fantasy XII Potion, and will flow into Japanese stores on March 7, nine days before Square Enix's release of the anticipated RPG. The drink will be available for a limited time.
Suntory says that Final Fantasy XII Potion has been developed to deliver a "mythical" taste that captures the essence of the game. To create the distinct flavor, the drink uses ten herbs, including Elder flower, Chamomile, Rosemary, and Lemon Balm. It also includes Royal Jelly and Propolis to give the drinker a boost of energy, to keep a spring in the step of cosplayers everywhere.
Collector's will also be able to get their hands on a limited edition of Final Fantasy XII Potion, which will come in a special bottle and include a FFXII trading card. There are six different designs for the special bottle, and 27 varieties for the trading card.
