Final Fantasy XII "Potion" Drink Hits Japan

As part of the marketing rush for the much-lusted-after, oft-delayed Final Fantasy XII, Square Enix has teamed up with beverage producer Suntory to produce a new "Potion" health drink that went on sale today in Japan. "Potion" comes as a standalone drink for 205 yen or as a special premium set for 630 yen. The premium set includes a specially-shaped bottle with one of six intricately-detailed bottle caps, as well as a collectible art card (of which there are 27 in total). Regular convenience stores carry the normal bottle but the premium set is a bit more exclusive due to its bulky nature.



Fans probably don't care about the drink itself, but here are the details: Within each Potion bottle, you get 100ml of "herb drink," a subtle blend of Royal Jelly, Propolis Extract, Elderberry, Camomile, Sage, Thyme, Hyssop, Fennel, Marjoram, Rosemary, Basil and Melissa, not to mention carbonated water, caffeine and artificial coloring. To be honest, it tastes just like any other Japanese "genki" drink, and there's not much of a difference in taste between this and a can of Red Bull, though Potion probably contains less chemicals.

Suntory is running a fantastic ad campaign alongside the product in Japan -- you can check out one of the better spots here. If Potion does well, expect to see more game-related consumables in the future. Mario mushrooms? Dragon Quest medicinal herbs? The possibilities are truly endless.

I've heard about the potions before, but the pepsi coffee is news to me. I tried making my own carbonated coffee drink before and it tasted horrible. I'm not a coffee nazi, but I do enjoy my coffee. I'll try it when we get some in Hawaii.

are those the ones selling for a silly price in the USA via imports?

[Faustus]

The special bottle version is $19 after shipping to get from japan.

[MackemX]

is Pepsi's slogan 'Brown & Bubbly'?

[Faustus]

I think their normal Pepsi cola taste a bit like muddy water, carbonated, with sugar added. But I'd try the coffee one just for grins.

BTW I show the drink in the original post as discontinued.
