Smells Like Chocobos!

Once Final Fantasy XIII sweeps over Japan, a sweetly-scented breeze will follow in its wake. Siliconera has caught wind of a perfume sure to get trigger the collective Limit Break of the Final Fantasy faithful:

A month after [Final Fantasy XIII] comes out in Japan, fans can purchase a bottle of Lightning eau de toilet. The aroma is described as a sweet peach smell followed by rose and then a feminine musk. Lovely.

Vespasian: When I’m dying old and alone in a state run nursing home many years from now, it will probably be because I’m the type of guy who sees a bottle of Lightning eau de toilet as the perfect birthday, anniversary, or Valentine’s Day gift. Nothing says, “I wish you were a video game, baby”, like a bottle of game-themed perfume. Such an implicit statement could be very useful, if you think about it.

If you’re a gamer cursed with a mate who despises your hobby a bottle of this stuff could be the perfect peach-smelling out. On the other hand, if you’re blessed with a significant other who enjoys games, you’ll score points for offering a gift that is Final Fantasy related, completely nerdy, and from Japan, to boot.

I recommend that Square-Enix follows up with a line of similarly themed basic hygiene products such as underarm deodorant, soap, toothpaste, and shaving cream. It would be a sure way to reach a previously completely untapped demographic.

I'm sure this will sell in a matter of minutes. With the amount of stank that will be endured in the lines waiting for FF XIII, surely one could use a few gallons to shoot over the crowd with a fire hose.

Not a bad idea, Kyle. And guys, I don't even want to know what they mean by "feminine musk".
