This is a commercial for 1998 N64 release Yoshi's Story, the most maligned of many maligned sequels to the classic Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. This is also smack dab in the middle of the 'Get 'N' or Get Out!' campaign. Personally one of my favorite ad campaigns from Nintendo, although that isn't saying much, considering this is Nintendo advertising we are talking about…
The main thing everyone remembers about this commercial is the big chandelier dragon, which is pretty cool, if you don't think about how fragile a glass dragon would be. That dragon was the entire 15 second ad spot you might have seen between cartoons on TV back in 2001. In the 30 second commercial there is a lot of lead up to the dragon, but I definitely won't call anything that happens as context for anything else. This is going to be a more serious effort than I was anticipating for a quick joke article…
I hate Final Fantasy VII.
Well, I love Final Fantasy VII, but don't tell Final Fantasy VII I said that. FFVII doesn't deserve my love, but I often find myself thinking about all the good times we had together. It's such a toxic relationship.
It's going to take a few more therapy sessions before I'm comfortable digging into all that though. Today I simply want to discuss a small portion of the very rich meal that is Final Fantasy VII. There are a lot of layers to this RPG onion, and I want to focus solely on the dry skin, slowly fading under the produce section lights. I'll be dissecting Square's game changing game commercial which appeared on US television ahead of the games stateside release.
