FF7R Butterfinger promo starts March 3rd - Buy up to ~16 dollars of candy bars to unlock DLC.
- Thread starter Arkeband
- Start date
Also remember not too long ago there was DLC for Dissidia in Cup Noodles
Also, while these promotions did not grant in game items... still, lol. I find SE's marketing department decisions rather odd.

Product placement in video games is fun and we should encourage it, maybe it could help to reduce costs in the always increasing video game development costs.OP had me thinking there was actually a butterfinger blade
That's nothing compared to every store in FFXV taking accepting American Express
Remember 007: Skyfall and the 250mln budget? 40 seconds of Heineken beer paid for 40mln of those 250mln
Not only did they ruin the flavor, but also the texture. It's comparable to cardboard now in taste.
Exactly my reasoning with the new Butterfinger's so-called, "Improved Recipe".
I don't expect the items to be out of line with equipment you can find in the game, none of the descriptions seem overpowered to me, but it's undeniable that you can buy some in game power with this DLC.
Was never a fan of these. Give me Twix or Hershey's Cookies and Cream.How could they picked the best candy bar in America?
That being said I wonder if there will be a candy bar quest now.
Butterfinger is the worst. Haven't had one in probably 30 years when I knew, even as a kid, that Reese's was the only peanut butter candy that mattered.
Crunch isn't bad though.

Ehhh sure why not I'll participate this isn't the first time I participate in weird promotions for in game items in a Final Fantasy game.
Anyone remember the FFXIV x Mrs. Freshley's Promotion? I still have those Honey Buns stored inside my retainer in game

This is so fucking dumb.
The fact that they still need to do product placement for food in the year 2020 is showing how much out of touch SE executives are.

You're acting like product placement isn't still a thing.
How are they out of touch exactly?
Product placement is a thing and sometimes can be cute when done well.
This is on a completely different level by having customers buy products outside of the game for in-game items. It's pretty shameless and Square is truly setting a new bar for milking this franchise.
I'm not really sure how people can defend this yet here we are.
Isn't this like their third time doing this?
14 had a thing with honey buns and Dissidia NT had a thing with instant ramen. There also not even the first developer to do stuff like this. I don't see what the need for the outrage is yet here we are.
So because Square has done similar things in the past that excuses them to continue this practice of food tiers for DLC?
If they didn't get shit for it before they should get shit for it now. I am not a fan of sketchy DLC practices and stuff like this takes the cake.
Mind telling me what it looks like they fucked up? Looks freaking amazing to me and most impressions have been positive from what I've seen.
In for the Tifa theme at least. So glad that this includes Crunch bars and not just Butterfingers. I'll admit I'm a bit curious to hear that Butterfingers changed their recipe. I've found Butterfingers to be pretty horrible, but maybe I'd find them more tolerable now? Sounds like this explains why a while back I had a coworker who had a sudden random craving for a Butterfinger which she hadn't had in years, and after getting one on her break, complained about how bad it tasted.
This DLC, the preorder DLC, tying DLC to special editions, and chopping the game up into pieces. The actual gameplay shown looks good, but I won't touch it until the PC release when we'll get everything regardless of Square's shitty practices and either the entire game when it's available or the first episode when it's dirt cheap.
I don't think a publisher should get a free pass for doing something shitty just because they've done other related lame shit in its recent past. In this instance, they're locking out stat-boosting and combat-boosting equipment behind real-life purchases of candy bars. It's weak enough that modern S-E is all about that sweet, sweet product placement, but taking an all-time classic and gating summon Materia and equipment behind preorders and chocolate fucking sucks and deserves a call-out.
Thank gawd Crunch is included. The only chocolate from the selection that's good.
Better than that FFXIV KFC DLC deal at least.
I want that theme. I hope it's available outside of the US.

So Square Enix are teaming up with Shinra Nestle, the company that keeps trying to ambush small countries and privatize their Lifestream water supplies? I wasn't going to get the game anyway, I've no real affection for any FF other than XIV, but still fuck 'em so incredibly much.
You say this as if corporations haven't carefully raised a whole generation whose greatest fear is 'missing out'.

You know this for a fact? I didn't realize you played FF7R already, how was it?
Usually happens with these kind of dlc doesn't it? You get it but then right away there's something far better than you could buy from a shop.
