Valentine’s Day is that special time of year when we are reminded to think of our closest loved ones, and show them how much we care with a gift that truly caters to their unique tastes and interests. Or, for single people, it’s the holiday that constantly taunts us with a cynically commercialized conception of love, forcing us to dwell on our own loneliness while barely affecting the legions of already happy couples. Either way, these Final Fantasy VII Materia chocolates are really cool.
The colors are nice to look at, but they become even more interesting when you think of them in the context of the game. What exactly does it mean to give your lover a “Command Materia?” Or how about the blue Support Materia—by far the most common of these is “All,” which makes its linked ability target several units at once. A red “Summon” Materia would definitely have to be saved for a special occasion, and there’s even the purple “Independent” type for those who just couldn’t manage to find a date. Last but not least is the one and only “Holy” Materia, which will hardly be capable of saving the planet if it’s already melting in your mouth.
These romantic Valentine’s Day treats will be available for purchase from Artnia, the official Square Enix store, just in time for Valentine’s Day in Tokyo. The whole set will go for 3000 yen, which is obviously a bit much. But for many the combination of artistry, nostalgia and delicious chocolate will be worth the admittedly steep price.
Also available are two less impressive sets. This one features more general artwork and costs 2000 yen:
While this 1400 yen set is based on the movie Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children:
These two are pretty normal in contrast. They’re basically just square chocolate shapes with some logos and embossed artwork on top. Of course, they’re also cheaper, so they might still be a good choice for the more financially efficient soulmate.
