Final Fantasy XIII Characters Show Up In Chinese Car Commercial
We’re not entirely sure what to make of this new Nissan commercial, which is apparently something that can be seen by actual potential Chinese car buyers. In a video that makes one’s head hurt if you think about it too hard, a girl dons a VR headset while sitting in the passenger seat, and sees Final Fantasy XIII’s Snow has suddenly overtaken her male driver. Snow proceeds to take the car (and accompanying passenger) through a Hot Wheels-esque rollercoaster of a virtual ride. And when they’re done, they change seats, he puts on the headset, and this time it’s Lightning behind the wheel.
Feel free to create your own backstory to what is going on here, and check out the full commercial below.

I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
