The "Potion" marketing gimmick seems to be a success

It's only been out a few days, and it's already hard to find. It is in fact sold out at the two or three convenience stores nearest me. I nabbed a couple of the "Premium Box" which comes with a snifty bottle and a "clear card." The helpful dude at the local convenience store pointed out that they're not going to make more, which pretty much proves that it was just a sales gimmick. I still think it tastes better than the other energy drinks out there, not that it means all that much. Maybe it's the lack of nicotine in the "Potion" recipe.

An interesting observation from |insert credit|:

The Potion costs 200 yen. In the original Final Fantasy, a Potion was 60 Gil. This gives us our first-ever real-world exchange rate for classic Final Fantasy currency: .3 Gil to the yen. At the day's exchange rate, this makes $1 US equivalent to 35.3124 Gil. This means that the Silver Sword we saved up 4,000 Gil to buy in 1987 is worth only approximately $113.27. I would assume the silver is not real.
