Not sold onFinal Fantasy VII Rebirthand/or on the dark magics that make instant noodles work yet? Then good luck with that going forward, as Nissin just released an ad where a Catboy Sephiroth uses his ever-sexy voice to bully Cloud into slurping down on some Donbei Udon noodles — and he complies.
We couldn’t fully grasp the greatness contained in the ad because it was only out inJapanese up until now,but we can now thank Twitter userAitaikimochifor deciphering this masterwork for English-speaking audiences.
Sephiroth: Shall I give you…donbei udon?I can’t believe they actually reanimated these#FF7Rscenes and had Sephiroth’s voice actor do a commercial for Donbei Udon.Here’s the English subs by me lmao 🦊🦊🦊pic.twitter.com/Q415BvKGit
Those short seconds feature better drama, tension, and overall direction than many of the cutscenes fromFinal Fantasy VII Remake.This is one of the best ads ever made.
A Twitter user goes even further, basically saying that we just witnessed history being made, as we saw furry Sephiroth calling Cloud a good boy after getting him to surrender to the taste of Nissin noodles.
How can you not immediately forgive whatever death Sephiroth may cause after that?
If you’re atrueFinal Fantasyfan, then you’re surely aware that this is not the series’ first collab with Nissin. Who can forget not just all the beautiful product placement within the game itself, butespeciallythe hilarious Nissin Cup Noodle ads featured inFinal Fantasy XV’spromo campaign?
Some might have been led to believe that the two companies’ sacred ad bond might have been dispelled some time ago. We didn’t seeFF XVI’scharacterssurrendering to these tender delicacies in any of the game’s ads, and that was troubling.
I’m happy to see that this bond is seemingly stronger than ever — and I mean that with all my capitalism-obliterated heart. I tend to loathe product placement and brand crossovers as much as you hopefully do. These things tend to cheapen the product and taint the art, but these are so much fun that I can’t help but see them as an art form, in and of themselves.
You can playFinal Fantasy VIIRebirthon PlayStation 5 tomorrow, February 29th, and you can hopefully get a bunch of Nissin noodles for a cheaper price right now.
