Nissin, the maker of Cup Noodle ramen, is doing something special for Final Fantasy’s 30th anniversary. The company is producing a special release of its noodles featuring bosses from the main Final Fantasy franchise and producing a very limited, oversized Final Fantasy-inspired ... fork.
Final Fantasy 15 players are likely already intimately familiar with Cup Noodle’s association with Square Enix’s role-playing game brand, but Nissin’s going all-in with its latest promotion.
The “Ultima Weapon Fork” will be extremely limited. Only 30 will be produced, and the only way to get one is part of a lottery. Final Fantasy/Cup Noodle fans who purchase a special box set of noodles — each is emblazoned with a boss from the original Final Fantasy through Final Fantasy 15 — will be eligible to receive the fork.
Here’s a closer look at Nissin’s Final Fantasy Boss Collection noodle set, which will go on sale Feb. 1 for 6,048 yen (about $53).
And here’s a closer look at the Ultimate Weapon Fork, which measures 60 centimeters (just shy of 24 inches) in length. Note how it dwarfs regular-sized forks.
