In the video, animated versions of the iconic hero Cloud and the legendary One-Winged Angel Sephiroth face off and show off their weapons and magic. Suddenly, Sephiroth revealed his iconic black wings. To counterattack, Cloud unleashes… a Red Bull?! Cloud shows off two pairs of wings before a voiceover conveys the company’s catchphrase, “Red Bull gives you wings.”

The Red Bull ad isn’t the only collaboration Final Fantasy VII has had. Both Final Fantasy VII Remake and its sequel feature Butterfingers candy, with the former offering in-game items and the latter giving customers opportunity Win game packs. Final Fantasy VII Rebirth also features a collaboration with Insomnia Cookies with a limited edition box featuring illustrations of the game.
