Square Enix has announced its latest partnership, this time with Suntory, a beverage company that will introduce the
Final Fantasy XII Potion drink next March. The Potion is a "mystical" brew of herbs and nutritional supplements said to
relax and energize its drinker. Six prototype bottles where on display at the unveiling, as well as the character art
cards that will be featured in the Final Fantasy XII Potion Premium Box. No price has been set.

"Six prototype bottles"
The picture provided shows 9?
And I would rather see an idea like this come from Blizzard... Don't know why.
Can't wait til some n00b drinks one of these and jumps off a building because he thinks he is using 2x mana on his "Mana Cloak" spell.

Hmm...I see 9 bottles too, but I guess you didn't see that of the 9 bottles, there are only 3 different types?!

the bottles will have wireless communication to the game so when you take a swig, you get heath/mana in-game. wanna be a leet ffxii player, you're going to have to get all the attachments. oh crap which bottle is the fenix down again? imagine keeping a real life inventory for your games. in related news, smoking and drinking will become interactive in the next-gen GTA, and make sure you get the dildo for the hot coffee mod.

Nmaster - it only works if the dead in question are not annoying, useless tramps whose name millions of people insist is spelled differently than it really is just to be cool.

Just for the record, that would be "make it Santori time."
This is a fairly lame cross-promotion in my opinion, but then I'm not a big fan of obnoxiously overpriced elixir-type drinks either. I'll take Mountain Dew over Monster every day.

Square has gone total sellout ever since their merger with Enix.
I remember someone blogging back when Advent Chilren came out (in japan) about how the movie plays as a giand Panasonic advertisements with more than 5 min of product placement.
How low can they sink?

Matt Hayes, there is no Japanese company called Santori. At least know your facts before you try to bring me down, child.
Sophia Coppola: My dad [Francis Ford Coppola] and Kurosawa did a Suntory whiskey commercial in the "70s, which was part of the inspiration for your character doing the Suntory ads.

"...representatives from Suntory and SqaureEnix have stated that not only will the drink provide a refreshing and relaxing experience, it also doubles as a stimulating dildonic device..."
Man, the Japanese think of everything...

Eran Hawke - Gackt's presence in Dirge of Cerberus strikes me as the turning point where Square (Enix) jumped the shark... and when they really didn't need to.

Huh, why would we need potions, make the swords we could put those to use and then we'l need potions.....better yet make the moggles so we can slay them and steal their fuzzy balls that float on their heads.

Alright I'll buy a few and test them out in the real world. I'll get into a fight out in the forest with a bear and see if they help me survive in a battle.

Oh this will be good. I've wanted something like this to happen for years
(seriously, I was one of those strange little kids who called pennies GP and I still jokingly call them gill).
As for Square selling out, one could almost say that it started back when Spirits Within came out. Frankly I like the idea of food related items for FF. Next it could be jerky called dried meat like in FF6.
