How did i manage to miss this in-game? That was Sublime!

I would've definitely missed it as I wouldn't have known "Cup Noodle" is a brand and more of a in-game item since it's such a generic name.

 

[nephilimdj]

I often see Nissin noodle banners while watching EPL, blows me away

 

[Arkeband]

The quest for this in game wasn't even humorous, it was just a straight up advertisement. I really hope that they aren't beholden to this bullshit in future releases.

However I will say the Cup Noodle photorealistic meal in game with scrambled egg on top looks incredible.

 

[Terrell]

He really does have a Cup Noodle fetish.

God dammit. Well, this crosses the line into tasteless. And in the absolute last series you would expect it in.

I'll await Breath of the Wild next when one of the NPCs extolls the virtues of Mountain Dew to Link, since we're so close to rock bottom.

Man, I wish I could have been in the booth when the voice actors were recording this. Lots of laughs, I'm betting.

4000 exp for just listening to him rant?....I gotta clear this asap while i'm still low level!

 

[Valkerionseven]

I love cup noodle. Also this year is their "something something" anniversary so their are ads all over Japan at the moment as well as special covers and cups. Though was surprised to see the bilboard when I first fired the game up lol.

 

[Stop It]

Great, we have Pot Noodles and Japan has the infinitely better looking Cup Noodles. Can we swap please?

Seeing as the product placement simply doesn't make sense here, does the EU version still have it included?

 

[Frumix]

Fantasy based on starch.

 

[Menitta]

The Ultimate Flavor Experience

This is the most shameless marketing ever. I can't help but respect them for that.

 

[squall23]

All hail Nissin.

Cup Noodles are so delicious, they literally transcend borders to get their message of mouthwatering tastiness to you. Time to fire up Amazon.jp and order some right now. You have to experience the supple majesty of the noodles at least once in your life, even if it's on your death bed. Truly, the Final Fantasy.

 

[TriAceJP]

Somebody made this thread and it wasn't me.

I've been slacking.

 

[Elessar]

"How can you improve upon perfection?" (Might be misremembering that line.)

God that quest was hilarious.

Hamburgers.

 

[Griss]

I was a bit upset when I saw the product placement outside hammerhead (hate product placement). When I realised that Cup Noodle got an entire side quest to itself where Gladio just loves him some cup noodle... all I could do was laugh.

 

[vypek]

Call me when Coleman Company XV is out.

I thought I was seeing a fake the first time I went camping. Was stunned the real name was in the game.

You can order food on Amazon JP ?

First time I actually hear the voice acting, I thought it was someone doing some cheap "dudebro" dub over the real voices. Oh man the English voices are terrible hahaha.

 

[Teletraan1]

All that's left is to make our noodle dream a reality.

 

[ZombiePlatypus]

This is product placement I can fully embrace and get behind.

English V.O. is just fine.

 

[aitakute]

Cup Noodles in Japan are simply the best. Come from many different sizes and tastes. They have lot of egg, meat, shrimp, vegetable inside too.

 

[RoKKeR]

This is great haha

I remember being shocked at the sheer size and the amount of stuff they managed to cram into the Cup Noodles museum in Yokohama... it's impressive.

 

[Unknown Soldier]

I'm still waiting for the Coleman tie-in advertisements.

 

[Lunafreya Nox Fleuret]

Cup Noodle - "Try one. The taste is Stella!"

Best post here.

 

[Ran rp]

 

[Caim]

Surprised there was no quest for any of the Coleman stuff.

One of the gas stations in the game also takes American Express.

 

[sappyday]

Nomura started this. The Roen clothing was the first in-game advertising for this game.

 

[ULTROS!]

Wonder if KH3 will have blatant advertising.

 

[notacat]

Best thing is the Cup Noodles in the game are AMAZING crafting base for spells.

Thanks for that, bought one but didn't eat it yet. Now i'll go back to the stand and get a dozen more and see how it does with spell stuff.

 

[Maxinas]

Cup Noodles taste like shit though.

 

[KittenMaster]

Hah, I am about to start FF15 for the first time but I wanted to eat some cup noodles first. I just saw this thread after finishing the meal.

 

[Yukinari]

I only play games that have Nong Shim advertisement.

This shit helped me through the winter unlike Cup Noodles.

 

[InfiniteCombo]

Why cup noodles in Japan have shrimp, meat and vegetables?

In here it only has noodles -.-

This is the most important question. We need a damn Cup Noodles upgrade up in here!

OT: on mobile right now, but if that's Felicity Smoak in your avatar, you have good taste

 

[mango drank]

Yeah, I'd much rather play this.

Holy shit this is the most shameless thing I've seen in a long time.

I love it.

 

[qualitydisc]

If I'd rank it Cup Noodle > Coleman > Vivienne Westwood > Roen in terms of who gave the most money lol.

U FORGOT WAFFLE HOUSE who paid no money, so Square Enix ripped off their sign without compensation.

Sign in Lestallum:

 

[Dr. Black Jack]

There's Coleman placement too. Pretty weird but I kinda like it.

Sign in Lestallum:

They were in negotiations for the last year to use the Waffle House sign. The reason the game was delayed in September was actually to remove evidence of the Waffle House text from the game. Unfortunately, there wasn't enough time to create new sign assets.

 

[Jockel]

Gladio's in-game Cup Noodle commercial was already enough.

You seem salty. Salty like delicious hot Nissin Cup Noodles™

 

[ULTROS!]

They were in negotiations for the last year to use the Waffle Hour sign. The reason the game was delayed in September was actually to remove evidence of the Waffle House text from the game. Unfortunately, there wasn't enough time to create new sign assets.

So the game was solely delayed for Waffle House?

Fuck u Waffle House.

 

[dark10x]

Fuck u Waffle House.

Yes

Spoiler

No.

Fuck u Waffle House.

Waffle House wouldn't sign the contract unless it was covered with 4 slices of melted American cheese and and half a pitcher of sawmill gravy.

 

[jett]

lol

Squeenix shilling hardcore with this game. I guess they tried to cover their bases as much as they could. I really wonder what's the final, overall cost for the entire production since 2006.

 

[Valkyri von Thanatos]

So shameless, I love it.

I wish Uncharted 4 had a section where they stopped everything to advertise Snickers or something.

You mean.. Like this?

 

[Unknown Soldier]

lol

Probably not as much as you think since the game wasn't actually in production since 2006

 

[Illucio]

Glad was so out of character when he talked about it in game. I laughed.

 

[disappeared]

Wonder if KH3 will have blatant advertising.

Besides all the Disney stuff?
