This Japanese Ad Featuring Live Action Tataru & Hancock From Final Fantasy XIV Is Cursed

Final Fantasy XIV players are certainly familiar with the interaction between Tataru and Hancock in Kugane, and yesterday a slightly… different version was showcased.

During the Final Fantasy XIV fan festival livestream aired yesterday night electronics manufacturer I-O Data showcased an ad for its CigaCrysta monitors and it featured the two characters in live-action form.

You can watch it below. I don’t think you need to understand Japanese to have a giggle… or cringe.

Incidentally, the new Final Fantasy XIV expansion Endwalker will release on November 23, 2021 for PS5, PS4, and PC.
