Like Card Games? The Final Fantasy Card Game is Coming!

Setting our wallets on fire for Final Fantasy related collectibles isn’t nothing new. We’ve all been doing it for years. Today, Square Enix has made that reason even bigger. Today our friends at Square Enix have announced that the Final Fantasy Trading Card Game is headed our way next month with all 426 cards being translated into English.

The downside to this? It won’t be cheap. You’ll want to prepare to set your wallets on fire and walk away knowing that the damage hasn’t even been dealt yet. However, if you want to just play there’s no true damage to be done just yet. So what do you need to know?

If you plan on collecting, it’s not going to cheap. If the game follows on with pricing that we have seen with Trading Card Games such as Magic the Gathering this will set each deck to be priced at $13.99 USD while booster packs could run anywhere between $3.99 USD to $6.99 USD. Luckily for us it’s a fair assumption to how much they’ll run. Downside for you collectors? Each card will have a premium foil counterpart (ouch that has to hurt).

The card game will feature art from Final Fantasy Dissidia, Final Fantasy VII Remake, and even World of Final Fantasy. Don’t be surprised to see characters such as Zidane from Final Fantasy IX to appear.

If you haven’t already know, Magic the Gathering has received a new expansion set known as “Battle for Zendikar”, which invites more than 20 million Magic: The Gathering players to once more setup and prepare to build their new decks as they return to the fan favored plane of Zenidkar. In this set players will once more see the return of teams that are filled with elves, vampires, and even humans as their ranks struggle against the Alien threat only known as the Eldrazi.

This expansion welcomes back some of Magic’s most iconic hero Planeswalkers, Zendikari people, and even the lands themselves as they seek to battle off the invasive enemy forces. As players seek to build their forces with these cards, Wizards of the Coast has announced that certain packs of the Battle for Zendikar set will now include very rare versions of some of Magic’s most well-known cards. Called the Zenikdar Expeditions, these cards will feature beautiful foil art of Zendikari landscapes.

For those looking for special events, Wizards of the Coast has listed them:
October 2 – Battle for Zendikar card set is released.

October 16 – 18 – Watch some of Magic‘s best pro-players battle for the top spot in the Pro Tour Battle for Zendikar!
December 11 – 13 – The 2015 World Magic Cup is happening in Barcelona, Spain! Check out the event page to see where to watch the stream.
