American residents only. Sorry dudes. Buy 2 participating Butterfinger products, snap a picture of your receipt, and receive some FF7 goodies.

First off, this Tifa dynamic theme:

And according to an e-mail I got from Square Enix's every so often newsletter, these in-game items:

76992


Do you get one at random or all five? I have no idea.

Anyway, there's that.

Got to pay for all those fancy and shiny new graphics somehow.

At least it’s not like you get actual butterfingers in your game

yea, product placement can be really gross. ff15 had to parody itself just to get it across in a non-insulting (but still insulting) manner

wondering if it is possible for the UK people to get on this, if out american friends were to share receipts

In the UK a similar promotion is running with Batchelors

https://winwithbatchelors.co.uk/

Both of these promotions have been running since before the game was released.

Bought 2 candies when I went to the store this morning. Decided to check it out.

So the deal is you get one of the items with every 2 candies bought. So if you want all 5 things you need to buy 10 bars. Not sure yet if the dynamic theme comes with the first one or not.

Could take up to 5 days for receipt approval.

While the process seems cheaper, it's kinda complicated to me. I hope these things eventually just go the route of actual dlc.

I got the cactaur summon :cactuar: DLC from the deluxe edition aaaaaannnd it's garbage :(

I'd rather they stop these types of promotions moving forward, but who am I kidding...

Yeah, I think the smaller summons are not meant for boss battles, at least not past the point when you've got Ifrit.

I suppose in order to be a more accurate comparison to the Cup Noodle DLC, Cloud would need to have a Butterfinger decal plastered across the Buster Sword.

Cloud should meet Bart Simpson.

Update on the full process:

So it takes 3 to 5 days for them to check your receipt. If it gets accepted, they send you the Tifa dynamic theme right away , and then take an additional 3 to 5 days to send your in-game DLC code.

I got the Midgar bangle, it had 1 materia slot and pretty weak stats. Don't know if it would have been better at the beginning of the game but I was near the end by the time I got it. Cool gimmick, but i'll opt out of buying more candy for the other items.
