The latest Japanese television ads for Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers features the music stylings of New Jersey rockers Bon Jovi. The ads are short (16 seconds or so), and there are three of them so far.

They’re so short that it’s hard to make out the Bon Jovi song. I checked out after that Young Guns soundtrack, so I’m not the best person to ask! Maybe there’s a longer version of this ad — hopefully. The tune, however, is “We Weren’t Born to Follow”, which is off the band’s latest album.

Square Enix could’ve used any sample from pretty much any rock song to the same effect. But, hey, Bon Jovi, no?

Know what does add to this Final Fantasy Wii game? Three words: Laser cow udders.

Bon Jovi, a band four years older than the Final Fantasy series itself, will be co-promoting Crystal Bearers for Square Enix with the song “We Weren’t Born To Follow” from the group’s upcoming album The Circle. That album is due to drop one day prior to Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers’ Japanese release.

That’s what we call synergy, kids. If only for the fact that protagonist Layle and Jon Bon Jovi have near identical haircuts. The rest is simply a happy coincidence.
