\"\"<\/a>Recently I got the fighting game Dissidia Final Fantasy NT.\u00a0 I\u2019ll probably write a full blog about that game soon, but when I opened the box for the game, there was an advertisement with a special promotion with Cup Noodles, an instant ramen product.\u00a0 They had Final Fantasy characters on the boxes and everything!\u00a0 I thought that was kind of weird, so I decided to check it out.\u00a0 Read on to see what I found!<\/p>\n

So after talking about it with one of my brothers, he said that Final Fantasy XV had a cooking mini-game, and one of the things you could cook was Cup Noodles.\u00a0 So I guess the cross promotion makes sense now.\u00a0 You\u2019d think they would\u2019ve had the Cup Noodles promotion be for that game, and not Dissidia, but who knows?\u00a0 Maybe they had another one with FFXV and I didn\u2019t know about it.\u00a0 I never played that game and probably never will.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not really a big fan of ramen noodles either.\u00a0 I don\u2019t HATE them, but I never crave them and if ramen noodles ceased to exist from this world tomorrow, I wouldn\u2019t be too upset.\u00a0 It\u2019s kind of like bananas.\u00a0 I don\u2019t hate bananas, but if there were no more bananas left in this world tomorrow, I\u2019d be fine.<\/p>\n

When I went to grocery stores to see if they had those Final Fantasy noodles, I was pleasantly surprised to find that every store I went to had them.\u00a0 So it wasn\u2019t like Super Mario Cereal!<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0 And since they were so cheap, I decided to buy some and write an article about them.\u00a0 And man, they really were cheap!\u00a0 The single cups were pocket change and the 3 packs were a buck at the dollar store.\u00a0 No wonder why college kids eat this stuff.\u00a0 I might\u2019ve had to learn to like ramen noodles when I was in college, kind of like how I did with Taco Bell.\u00a0 But instant ramen noodles weren\u2019t as commonplace back then as they are now, from what I remember anyway.\u00a0 And don\u2019t worry, even though I don\u2019t like ramen, these won\u2019t go to waste, as I\u2019ll just give them to my brothers when I\u2019m done writing this article.\u00a0 They\u2019ll eat \u2018em!<\/p>\n

So here are the single cups with a FF character on each.\u00a0 Not sure why the Warrior of Light from the first Final Fantasy game is on the Beef flavor.\u00a0 Maybe it\u2019s because that game was so tough, you really had to \u2018beef\u2019 up your stats!\u00a0 Ha ha!\u00a0 Also not sure why Cloud is on the chicken flavor.\u00a0 Maybe because Cloud and Chicken both start with C, or maybe his hair matches the packaging better, or maybe it\u2019s because he\u2019s just a big chicken in the game!\u00a0\u00a0 Last is Lightning on the shrimp flavor.\u00a0 Maybe she\u2019s on there because her pink hair matches the packaging, or maybe she likes shrimp in the game.\u00a0 Although by looking at the expression on her face in the picture, it doesn\u2019t look as if she likes much of anything.\u00a0 I tried each flavor but couldn\u2019t really tell much of a difference.\u00a0 Maybe it\u2019s the broth.\u00a0 Anyway, here are pictures of the three cups.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I also found some 3 packs with the characters on them, too.\u00a0 I took pictures of them so you could see the characters on top as well.\u00a0 Glad to see that my favorite character, Terra from FF6, made it on one of the boxes.\u00a0 I wish she could\u2019ve gotten her own flavor ramen, but I don\u2019t know what it would\u2019ve been.\u00a0 I couldn\u2019t find the 3 pack of the shrimp flavor, but I wasn\u2019t going to go TOO much out of my way for ramen.\u00a0 So here is a picture of the others.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

So what do you get in Dissidia by buying this ramen?\u00a0 Well you can get a code to unlock a new outfit for Noctis to wear.\u00a0 He\u2019s the main character in FFXV and playable in Dissidia NT.\u00a0 I\u2019m kind of surprised he\u2019s not on one of the noodle boxes, especially considering the past cross promotion, but oh well.\u00a0 But you have to go a roundabout way to get the code for his outfit.\u00a0 First you have to text a certain number, then take a picture of your receipt and send that along.\u00a0 So make sure to save it!\u00a0 Then about 48 hours later (it took a day and a half for me), you\u2019ll get a code to enter into your PS4 to get that in the game.\u00a0 But the text with the code said it would expire in 2028.\u00a0 I doubt too many people will be playing the PS4 ten years from now, much less this game, so I thought that was kind of strange.\u00a0 Anyway, the outfit you unlock for Noctis is called the Royal Raiment, and it\u2019s a business suit.\u00a0 So if you want to see Noctis wearing a dress suit in Dissidia, go eat some noodles!<\/p>\n

That\u2019s all for now!\u00a0 Let me know what you think of this in the comments section!\u00a0 –Cary<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
