as we reported
back in september, sega struck a deal with soft drink maker coca-cola to feature the latter's fanta soda in the just-released (in japan)
phantasy star portable 2. (phanta-sy, fanta, geddit?) well, it turns out that the deal has resulted in more than just
giant fanta cans littering the game's lobbies. the first round of dlc, launched alongside the game, includes a mission featuring a quiz focused on -- you got it -- fanta soda.
in ''''''fanta quiz battle!,'''''' four players compete to answer questions correctly before embarking on a proper adventure. as noted by
andriasang, the second dlc mission, sasurai no seikan gyoushounin, appears to have no such deep-rooted product placement. we can't argue with the fact that the dlc is free (likely because of the sponsorship) but any sort of in-game advertising tends to give us a sour stomach. probably nothing a nice, fizzy fanta won't help, though.
