Sega's Phantasy Star Online, a free-to-play RPG, has discovered the tribulations of poor font choice after a recent graphic hyping a new "Ultimate Quest" called "Final Battle: Space-time Interstice" went viral for the wrong reasons.

While a pretty standard fantasy video game title, the graphic they used to advertise the new quest made the "F" and the "I" in "Final" look very much like an "A," giving all of Twitter the same thought: Anal Battle.

PREPARE YOUR ASS
FOR THE ANAL BATTLE https://t.co/wc8vRgRKdV— Skrrt Vonnegut (@Skrrt__Vonnegut) April 13, 2021
While the @play_pso2 Twitter account does attempt to mix trending memes with the video game, it is unlikely that they meant to create a graphic that would give all its viewers the same confusion. It is, however, the account's most popular tweet in weeks, so even though it's gone viral for a typographical goof, many people are now aware of the upcoming Anal Battle—er, Final Battle event in Phantasy Online 2.
