FFVII's my all-time favourite, but I can understand why others don't like it, or find it inaccessible. FFX is reliable fun, as is FFIX. The old-school games are definitely worth a look, too.

Advent Children will hopefully be available at any DVD/game store, though there might not be as many copies available as there would for a more 'mainstream' movie.

FFXII is coming out in Japan in less than two weeks, but it'll probably be at least 6 months before we see an English translation. No official word yet, though. Considering Square-Enix's recent trend toward delay, I won't be too surprised if the date is pushed back to sometime nearer the end of the year, or maybe even early 2007.

The FFXII Potion drink seems like a very Japanese marketing tie-in, so I doubt it'll see the light of day in our countries... but there's no harm in checking the beverage shelves at your local deli importer store
