I belive it was the first FF game advertised on TV. I remember watching the commercials and anticipating it.
FFVI was advertised, but not nearly as much as FFVII. They had a TV ad where Mog was sitting at a desk, dealing with a long line of monsters waiting to come in and be destroyed. A popular ad, though you don't hear much about it these days.
Im sorry, fighting the evil Shinra corp. is nothing new.
Neither is fighting the evil empire, or some generic incarnation of evil. Shinra wasn't the main enemy anyway. Sephiroth was.
How many movies and games already have this plot line?
Agreed. The whole "insane superhuman soldier blows a big hole in the world so he can absorb the souls within and become a god" thing has absolutely been done to death.
My bad, i know that shinra wasnt the main villian, but if it werent for shinra, sephiroth would never be what he was. So therefore, maybe FF is prophetic in that Wal-Mart will give us the Anti-Christ some day! (lol) But who can resist not buying from that cute whistleing smily face? (ha ha ha) And as far as the FF 6 commerical, i did not know that. Sounds like a fun commercial to watch.

I vaguely remember that commercial. I wonder if someone has it somewhere online?
I remember getting FFVII PC from one of those second-hand games stores, and then going back a few months later and it not being there any more... I was so sad...
And am I the only one who found it weird to find out that FFIX had an advertising deal with Coca Cola?
