The Final Fantasy XIV Collector’s Edition is proving that things can indeed still get worse for Square Enix – fans have found the included “tumbler” to be encrusted with mould, and the safety instructions reveal the tumbler cannot be filled with most liquids or solids without risk of damage.
In addition to the rotting exterior there is the matter of the product being unsuitable for containing much more than mouldy air:
Do not fill the product with the following materials as they may cause damage:
Items including salt and solid materials, carbonated beverages, milk or other dairy beverages, fruit juices, etc.
A glass which cannot be filled with either solids or liquids (it is not clear whether gases “may cause damage” as well) – possibly a contender for the prize of most useless container ever.
A tumbler is normally defined as “a flat-bottomed drinking glass” – just what it is users are supposed to be able to drink from the vessel in light of the above restrictions is not clear, although it is possible Square Enix was banking on the mould taking care of this problem.
A glass which cannot be drunk from and a game which cannot be played – Square Enix is certainly breaking new ground.
almost any product is made of china O_O
baka
Oh no! the cup I didn’t want or ever plan to use not only is poor quality but wasn’t in the NA CE of the game!!
Guess I have nothing better to do then play this random game that came in my cups box. *SIGH!* XD
Time to play another three games of FFIV DS instead.
“just what it is users are supposed to be able to drink from the vessel in light of the above restrictions”
Blood.
Now it makes sense.
SO…? Aren’t your PC components, Xbox360, PS3, iPhones and all those stuff MIC too? Why would Sankku make such a big deal about this? I suppose bashing China gets you aroused too, in addition to lolis and that other s♥♥t.
