This is, by the widest possible margin, the most insane ad I have ever seen for a Final Fantasy game

A garish 90s-colored ad for Final Fantasy III for Super Nintendo. Most of it seems to be a free association rant vaguely about Final Fantasy III, declaring that "this ain't no sissy game" and talking about how fighting games suck.

This one goes crazy hard, too

A large two-page print ad of the Sister Ray (a large, howitzer-style artillery cannon protruding from a cliffside military installation) from Final Fantasy 7. The top text reads "Someone please get the guys who make cartridge games a cigarette and a blindfold"

Below the image there are the FF7, squaresoft and Playstation logos, and some sub text that reads "Possibly the greatest game ever made is only available on Playstation™. Good thing. If it were available on cartridge, it'd retail for around $1,200"

People try to boil down 90’s graphic design as just the Memphis Style Saved by the Bell look. But when I think 90’s look, I think of ads like these. Look at that egregious use of Template Gothic
