Square Enix isn't kidding around when it comes to Final Fantasy XV's marketing budget. You may have seen it on Conan O'Brien, you can expect to see it in commercials and ads just about everywhere starting next week, and soon you'll even see it in Jamie Oliver's kitchen.
Wait… what?
Starting on November 29th, Jamie Oliver's Fifteen in London will have special items on its menu, as announced on its Twitter page. The Final Fantasy XV themed menu will include the following:
Really, nothing on the menu seems to take influence from Final Fantasy XV, which makes it all the more bizarre. There are no chocobo, tonberry, cactuar, or behemoth references, sadly. The only way something like this could have happened is if Square Enix threw money at the restaurant, enough that they couldn't say no.
Will a Final Fantasy XV branded menu like this really make people want to go out and buy a new JRPG? Apparently someone thinks so.
Fifteen is a mid range restaurant that isn't nice on your wallet. This interesting marketing gimmick will probably only be enjoyed by the most die-hard and bourgeois Final Fantasy fans, even if only to say that they ate a liimted edition Final Fantasy XV meal.
