A too-long explanation ensues

So, as I’m sure one or two of you know, Final Fantasy XII is being released in Japan in a few days. As a tie in with this, Japanese beverage manufacturer Suntory started making a Final Fantasy-themed “Potion” drink, complete with fancy-pants limited edition bottles and whatnot.

I came across this page that had pictures of Japanese kids mixing their potions with various other drinks/substances. One of the mixers was Smirnoff Ice. The result? A Hi-potion.

(In Japan, adding alcohol to a drink will make it “high.” I.E., Chu-hi, which is a fruity alcoholic drink. In the game, a hi-potion is a more powerful curative than the regular potion. Get it?)

(That took way too long to explain.)
