Final Fantasy Energy Drink - Are You Game?

Last year, Suntory came out with a limited edition set of Final Fantasy XII energy drinks as well as collectible bottles of Final Fantasy anniversary “potions.” When they first when on the shelves, it said that the sold out like mad, leaving convenience stores and supermarkets with empty racks in a week. They soon hit Ebay with prices set at $25 and above to be purchased by thirsty RPG geeks world wide.

Now, Suntory is back in collaboration with Square Enix with three new lines of tenth anniversary Final Fantasy VII potions and figures, and with a *bit* higher price tag than last time. The cans will be going for a mere $1.60, but the very cool potion bottle (limited to 77,777 pieces) will be traded for $32, which is nearly enough to get the game itself. In addition, there’s an entirely different set of eight cans combined with figures for $9 each which are limited to a million sets. Those are some hefty price tags for a “potion” that contains caffeine, B-Vitamins, and royal jelly, but that’ll never stop a thirsty gamer with plans to game all night long.
