Decisions, decisions. Square Enix is taking a page out of Bethesda’s launch day playbook by partnering with Jones Soda Co. to release a soft drink with Final Fantasy XV at Target. However, Gamestop is the only place that will give you a physical copy of the game at midnight. Tough call.

If you don’t want a Nuka Cola- er- Elixir soda, then head over to your local Gamestop to pick up Final Fantasy XV. Click here to find out what stores near you will be open for the event. If you loved the Nuka Cola from Bethesda’s Fallout 4 launch, then head to your nearby Target to pick up the game. Here’s some information about Square Enix and Jones Soda Co. partnership, according to a news release.

SQUARE ENIX and beverage company Jones Soda Co. are teaming up with Target stores nationwide to sweeten the deal for fans who purchase a copy of FINAL FANTASY XV in-stores. Starting tomorrow, fans who show proof of purchase of FINAL FANTASY XV on Xbox One or PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system at Target stores will receive one free bottle of Wiz’s Energizing Elixir, the first-ever FINAL FANTASY-themed soft drink in the U.S.

Based off the in-game FINAL FANTASY XV location “Wiz Chocobo Post,” the carbonated orange and cream soda-flavored concoction can also be purchased separately at participating Target stores for $2.99 while supplies last beginning November 29. Fans will need to act fast, as they are going to go KWEH-kly!

If neither soda nor a physical copy do much for you, then you can download Final Fantasy XV on your preferred console at midnight on Nov. 29. For more information about midnight downloads, click here. Be sure to check back with iDigitalTimes for our Final Fantasy XV and gameplay coverage.

REVIEW SUMMARY
Final Fantasy XV
8.5
Combat, Plot, Characters Create Something Flawed, Beautiful, Fantastic
Despite it's flaws, Final Fantasy XV is a milestone achievement: not just for being completed, but for being completed with polish, aplomb and love.
  • Engaging main cast of characters
  • Fun, fast-paced combat
  • A massive, beautiful world to explore
  • The Regalia!
  • Continuous updates have addressed some shortcomings of the initial release
  • Major aspects of the story feel rushed or absent, particularly toward the end of the game
  • Stealth sequences feel out of place
