10 Worst Video Game Adverts Of All Time

10. The Ostrich - Final Fantasy IV

Because of how convoluted the storylines of Final Fantasy can be, you'd assume every title would have a hard time selling itself in commercials. Surprisingly, Squaresoft's biggest franchise always had a knack for filling their adverts with a sense of wonder and awe, even in the earliest games.

So, when Final Fantasy IV was about to hit shelves, the developers knew they had to really make an impression. And since this sequel was filled with magical crystals, airships, secret worlds, and battles with space wizards on the moon, it seemed like there was a ton of content to use for promotions.

Instead, the commercial shows... a laughing ostrich running on a beach.

This tv spot is so absurd, you'd assume Squaresoft would ensure they never promote their work in such a ridiculous manner ever again.

Instead, they released ANOTHER ostrich-related advertisement for FFIV soon after!

The weird thing is that this commercial COULD work if the people behind it tried to dress up this ostrich as a Chocobo - an iconic bird-like character in the role-playing series.

Instead, the studio decided to use with an ostrich - a creature that doesn't even feature in the game!
