Final Fantasy 14 fans are in turmoil, and deeply concerned about the safety of the beloved chocobo, Alℱpha, after he was shown being whisked away by KFC's Colonel Sanders, who may or may not be envisioning him in a bucket.
The award-winning Final Fantasy MMORPG is soon launching a second collaboration with KFC, which, as (translated by Google and DeepL), will ▨see the return of the 'Eat fried chicken' emote, as well as the distribution of some Final Fantasy-themed stickers for KFC customers in Japan. On top of that, there'll be a lottery for those who buy the Final Fanꦡtasy 14 Collaboration Set meal, with the grand prize being a one-of-a-kind figure of the Colonel himself riding a motorcycle, with Alpha the chocobo in the sidecar.
It's a really cool prize, of course, but the implications of the KFC mascot seemingly making a run for it with the fan-favorite bird in tow are troubling, to say the least, an🦋d fans on Twitter have bee🌌n reacting exactly as you'd expect: "WHERE IS HE TAKING MY SON?"
WHERE IS HE TAKING MY SON //t.co/GUhUpFDxKd
"ALPHA GET OUT OF THERE!!! HE'S GOING TO COOK YOU!!!" desperately s🤡creams into the void.
"NO ALPHA!!! THAT MAN IS DANGEROUS!!!! GET O🅘UT OF THE SIDECAR AND FOR THE LOVE OF LIGHT DON'T GET IN ANY BUCKETS!!!" another.
Given that there's apparently only going to be one of these figures distributed, it's likely going to be a very hot commodity, even if only to ensure the safety of poo🎃r Alpha, who clearly doesn't know what he's getting into. For those in Japan, the Final Fantasy 14 KFC collaboration will be availabl💦e from June 10 until June 30, and will only be available via online orders.
