    Default Final Fantasy commercials?

    Has there ever been any commercials like the awesome, intense Legend of Zelda commercial for final fantasy?

    Not of that caliber.

    The first time a Final Fantasy was advertised on TV in the US was for FFVII. I remember that FFVI(FFIII back then) had a lot of ads in gaming magazines. And I don't remember if FFIV(FFII back then) or FFI had any type of advertising at all.

    >>> Man that commercial is the most hilarious thing Ive seen..
    In that time Square was nothing compared with Nintendo, if Im not wrong FF1 was the last Square`s attempt for save the company. so I doubt they had his own commercial in US..

    The first actual FF Commercial I've seen was for FF10. Just to show how much I watch TV.

    FFVI (III in America) had a really neat commercial involving Mog interviewing monsters... I miss that.

    I remember seeing commercials for FFVII and a few short ones for FFIX. But Square doesn't need to make commercials for their games; they sell particularly well.

    I'm sure Japan gets a lot of them, though.
    I prefer the term "Treasure Hunter".

    Japan gets a lot, especially FF/Coca Cola ad campaigns...

    I thought that commercial only came out in Japan but I remember it now. Good catch.

    The magazine ad for FFIV had two menacing dragon claws tearing through a red background and reaching outward at the reader. Above them, the text read, "OGOPOGO LIVES," and below, it read, "WILL YOU?"

    Pretty weird, really, considering Tidaliathan (Ogopogo) isn't a pivotal enemy in the game, or even the most difficult optional boss.

    I think I remember a FFVIII one in the uk. I certainly remember the bilboards in the uk.

    I've never seen any FF adverts here in the UK (on TV), but as Azeroth said there was probably an FFVIII one but I wasn't into it back when it came out so I probably wouldn't have noticed ^^

    The only advert for FFX I've seen is that in magazines, which has a picture of Yuna and says "To save the world even she needs your help". Anyone else seen that one?

    And there's no billboards round where I live
