Spoiler warning
This review may discuss plot details.
This review contains major spoilers so read at your own risk! Story: 7/10 We see Sephiroth slash the lemon into eight perfect slices which creates the refreshing taste of the lemon sour. The can of Mirai no Lemon Sour ("Future Lemon Sour") appears, before it cuts to Sephiroth taking a bite of one of the slices. He is stronger than the sourness- he does not wince, his lips do not pucker; his raw power is demonstrated here. He takes a sip, clearly enjoying it with a smirk and a snicker. The reason I'm giving it a 7/10 rather than a 10/10 is due to the fact that Sephirothwould never drink straight out of a can. For this reason, it is almost unrealistic.
Characters: 10/10
The character selection is small in this commercial, with Sephiroth being the primary focus in the story. This is all that is needed. For the next advertisement, I expect Cloud to drink it.
Sound: 9/10
The backing track is Let the Battles Begin! by Nobuo Uematsu. Sephiroth's voice is crisp, almost as crisp as the carbonation of the drink. We hear the SFX of bubbles... it is pleasing to the ears.
Animation: 9/10
The animation is good but reuses a scene from Final Fantasy VII Remake.
Overall: 10/10
I highly recommend this commercial. Were tears shed? No, but you can almost taste the drink itself. It might even make its way into your top 10 favorites list after the Midgar plates collapse.
