FFIX Coke Commercials

[The Ceej]

Tracks 108 and 109 on the Final Fantasy IX soundtrack are Coca-Cola commercials. I don't remember these commercials and I'd love to be reminded how Coke and Square tied their products together to make a commercial. And, in case you don't remember, I'm on dialup and can't click on any links to videos. An explanation of the commerical and maybe an included image will suffice. Thanks.

It's originally a promotion for FFIX combined with Coke (NO not the powder kind!). Essentially, it's one giant custom made FMV that is supposed to represent the wonderful and fantastic adventures you have after drinking it. Not quite unlike the powder, in my opinion, but this one doesn't cause massive blood-loss. Unless you get off by watching FMV Garnet/Yuna.

The FFX version promotes little collectable plastic statuettes of the FFX characters. Chibi included.

So, does Garnet pop open a Coke in the commercial? You know? Like Santa does in the Christmas version of the Coke commercials?

[Tavrobel]

Nope. It's one giant name-drop gone horribly... right.

Lol, I never saw the FFX one before. Weren't there American versions of these?

[Tavrobel]

Not to my knowledge. It doesn't seem anyone in America is aware of these unless it is previously brought to their attention. I have many an avid Square friends who did not know of these commercials at all.

lol, i love IX and the commercial is cool, but to me, FFIX was Square at its most commercialized.

this is pure stereotypical japanese comedy.

I liked the IX one a lot, although it was weird for me to see video game characters presented as popular culture for the mass population (if that makes sense).

Uh... Could someone describe what's in these links for me and maybe post a picture due to the information above? I'm sorry. It is very difficult being the last geek on dialup and the broadband companies have no excuse to be denying me broadband in a metropolis. It gets on my smurfing nerves every time I call them and they say, "I'm sorry but [insert broadband service here] is not available in your area." And I know they're lying to me because my neighbors have it and they used to try to get me to sign up for it. My brother kept telling me we couldn't afford it. When he finally told me we could have it, they changed their tune and claimed it was never available here. But yeah. I challenge anyone to name a corporation that isn't evil.

So in short, what I need is a description and possibly a picture. Thanks.

[Ouch!]

The FFIX commercial shows Zidane chasing a shining coke bottle cap through Alexandria. Vivi and Garnet follow in pursuit. As the bottle cap passes by, the people and building transform to look all shiny and stuff (for example, Alexandrian soldiers get gold armor).

The FFX one just shows coke bottles and FFX collectible figures. I didn't know there had been one for FFX.

No pic, sorry.

[The Ceej]

Thanks, Ouch. So, I guess the thread has served its purpose. I'm gonna back out of here while people continue to talk amongst themselves.

There's a bunch of nice folks over at Shinra Incorporated!

In case you still want to see a screenshot of the Coke advertisement, I posted a screenshot of it. Sorry for the low quality, I took it from the YouTube clip.

This is the third time he has said it, he has dial-up, he cannoit view the videos.

[The Ceej]

It's okay, Laddy. I stopped paying attention in here after I got my answer. I didn't even notice someone posted another video until I saw you posted in here.
