FFVII REMAKE CONFIRMED

[Saven]

So, Engadget accidentally released their preview and quickly took it down. I just got this from reddit. Be aware that there is a minor spoiler where the Sephiroth scene from E3 2019 appears in the game (then goes on to say no spoilers).

Spoiler: tl'dr contents

Basically, starts off with a clickbait title (This game is alright so far, but in the next sentence I think it's actually pretty good!), played through the entire Mako Reactor 1 Bombing run, the aftermath of the Mako Reactor 1 bombing, Mako Reactor 5 + Air Buster, and Aps.

Hey kids, want to suffer?

 

[Tranquil]

Can't believe I bought 10 Butterfingers for this game

 

[LicoriceAllsorts]

Don't try eating them and holding a controller at the same time.

 

[The Twilight Mexican]

Don't try eating them and holding a controller at the same time.

She said that too.

Went to 5 different places today to try and find those specially marked Nestle bars for the promotion, but nobody had them. Not Wal-Mart, Target, Kroger, Dollar General, or Shell. Are they still in the process of sending them out to all the stores? Or does it matter whether you get a bar that's got a wrapper mentioning the promotion or not?

 

[Teioh]

The butterfingerff7r promo site says this:

Participating Products

Buy any 2 of these participating products in the same transaction, upload your receipt, and score DLC for FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE.

• Butterfinger bar, 1.9oz or 3.7oz
• Crunch bar, 1.55oz or 2.75oz
• Baby Ruth bar, 1.9oz, 2.1oz, 3.3 oz or 3.7oz

See Official Rules for full prize details.

Don't know if that helps any, not being in a country where this is happening

 

[Jairus]

I appreciate that, but I thought the wrappers would say something about the promotion on them. Maybe they don't, though. Does anybody know for sure?

 

[The Twilight Mexican]

My understanding is that they don't.

But I thought all the codes had been claimed already anyway?

 

[Jairus]

That would be awfully fast if they were, the promotion's only been going for a day and it runs through May.

 

[The Twilight Mexican]

I hope it's not the case.

 

[ForceStealer]

There were only like 100,000 of the tier 1 items. I'm sure they went instantly.

And no there's nothing on the packages, you have to take a picture of the receipt and submit it. And probably get a million text ads

Oh ok. So there should still be items from the other tiers, then. Got it. Guess I'll be heading to the store tomorrow to pick up some Nestles.

 

[Makoeyes987]

Do not trust that screenshot. It's more than likely fake. The twitter profile it came from is in Canada.

This promotion is US only.

Furthermore people have indicated the image has irregularities. I wouldn't trust it on its own.

 

[Vortigern]

From what I saw on reddit, someone posted a email where all five dlc items were listed as out of stock; they didn't mention when they submitted their receipt for the promotion though.

My personal experience:

1. Bought 10 Nestle Crunches @ 12:03 PM yesterday
2. Submitted info and picture of receipt @ 12:09 PM
3. Immediately received an email acknowledging my entry
4. Received an email @ 8 PM last night that my receipt had been approved and providing the code for the PS4 Tifa Theme
5. Received an email today @ 3 PM providing codes for all 5 DLC items

So ya, definitely had to jump on this as soon as it started. For anyone still considering, just grab 2 candybars for the Tifa theme at this point.

 

[Jairus]

How can digital goods ever run out of stock? It makes no sense. It's a virtually infinite resource.

 

[Makoeyes987]

It sadly does make sense actually. Because the codes for these DLC items are finite.

They are not algorithm, auto-generated codes. These codes were pre-defined, limited and are to be distributed on a first-come-first serve basis.

This is to prevent spoofing and accessing the code generation algorithm to get free stuff.

My assumption is that Square Enix only provided PrizeLogic a finite amount of codes for this promotion. There will probably be other means to acquire these accessories at a later date.

 

[clowd]

"We have never seen Final Fantasy VII until now."

 

[Makoeyes987]

Just checked my email, and I ended up getting all 5 DLC codes from the Butterfinger promotion, so that twitter screenshot was a fake.

I hope no one took it seriously and held back.

 

[Erotic Materia]

So.... I'm lost. Should I get in on this?

 

[ForceStealer]

I'm mildly interested in the Tifa theme. I couldn't care less about the throwaway armor.

 

[Saven]

I think I need to tone down the FFVIIR discussions amongst my friends. I think I'm becoming "that guy" when it comes to discussing certain topics and being the other person you just want to walk away as fast you can.

 

[Shademp]

Despite working at a place with dozens of nerds, almost nobody knows about FFVIIR and many don't even know about Final Fantasy at all.

 

[Erotic Materia]

Spoiler: I caved

Diabeetus, take me away.

EDIT: A few hours later, and I received notifications that I have all 5 DLC! (Code will come in a later email, it says). Already gave me the theme code. I think the supply (even the 25000 limit ones) are still "stocked"
