Prepare for an epic culinary adventure as Final Fantasy joins forces with none other than Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) in an exclusive collaboration, set to tantalize taste buds in Japan. This unique partnership will bring to life a delectable range of themed food products inspired by Square Enix’s beloved game series.
KFC has a history of venturing into the gaming world, having previously teamed up with Diablo 4 to offer in-game cosmetic rewards to players who indulged in KFC’s savory delights. And now, the gaming universe is abuzz with anticipation as KFC Japan drops hints about their upcoming Final Fantasy crossover.
Although the details are shrouded in mystery, a teaser poster featuring silhouettes of iconic Final Fantasy creatures, the Chocobo and Moogle, has sent fans into a frenzy of speculation. The collaboration promises to be an unforgettable experience, but it’s likely to remain an exclusive treat for Japan.
This isn’t KFC’s first rodeo in the gaming realm. In May 2023, KFC joined forces with Diablo 4 to celebrate the game’s launch, offering players exclusive cosmetic rewards for linking their KFC and Battle.net accounts. While this partnership had its initial hiccups, it was a hit among gamers. As for the upcoming Final Fantasy crossover, KFC is playing it close to the chest but has given fans a tantalizing glimpse to keep their excitement alive.
KFC Japan recently took to Twitter, unveiling a screenshot featuring the enigmatic Chocobo and Moogle silhouettes, along with a date: Wednesday, October 4. With more details expected to drop in early October, this aligns perfectly with the release window of Final Fantasy 14’s highly anticipated final major update for the Endwalker expansion, Growing Light. While fans speculate about what delectable surprises the collaboration will bring, some can’t resist joking about the possibility of Chocobos taking a dip in the deep fryer instead of the classic chicken.
But that’s not all on the Final Fantasy menu for 2023! As part of the game’s tenth anniversary celebration, Square Enix has announced a delightful collaboration with the Nagahama Distillery, offering three unique whiskeys inspired by the game’s starting cities: Limsa Lominsa, Gridania, and Ul’dah. While this promotion, like the KFC collaboration, is exclusive to Japan, fans worldwide can still savor the opportunity to sip on these special whiskeys, thanks to global shipping options.
With the exciting KFC Japan crossover on the horizon and a wave of news surrounding Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, fans of the iconic series are in for a treat as summer draws to a close. The future holds countless surprises from Square Enix, and only time will unveil the treasures awaiting the Final Fantasy community.
