In less than a month, Square Enix’sFinal Fantasy X/X-2 Remasterwill finally be coming to Nintendo Switch and Xbox One. To promote the long awaited port of this classic Final Fantasy remaster, Square Enix has decided to partner with Kung Fu Tea and offer an exclusive tea as well as a Nintendo Switch and Xbox One X giveaway.
On the Kung Fu Tea side of things, Kung Fu Tea’sGrape Creamhas been recreated asTidus & Yuna’s Grape Elixirand is available at every store location. Buying this drink at Kung Fu Tea will also net players a sticker featuring art from Tetsuya Nomura. Finally, the pair will also be holding a daily sweepstakes on social media where players can enter to win a Nintendo Switch or Xbox One X with a custom design based onFinal Fantasy X.Kung Fu Tea’s Marketing and PR Lead Mai Shi went on to discuss the partnership a bit further:
“We’re extremely excited to partner up with Square Enix and believe that our Kung Fu Masters in the gaming community will truly enjoy Tidus & Yuna’s Grape Elixir. We hope that this drink will keep gamers refreshed throughout their unforgettable journey in the World of Spira and Final Fantasy X / X-2 HD Remaster.”
This is only the latest food-based promotion for Square Enix. To highlight the upcoming release ofChocobo’s Mystery Dungeon Every Buddy!,the publisherpartnered with Dippin' Dotsto give away things like ice cream, lunch boxes, and a Nintendo Switch console. I’m curious to see if Square Enix plans on keep up this trend of food based promotions with future title and what companies it’ll decide to partner with next. This isn’t Kung Fu Tea’s first foray into video game cross-promotion either as they collaborated with ArenaNet to do one forGuild Wars 2last year.
Final Fantasy X/X-2 Remasteris currently available for PC, PS4, and PS Vita and will finally be coming to Nintendo Switch on April 16. You can see the Nintendo Switch port in action for yourself below.
