After a huge debut in Japan all the way back in 2011, Square Enix has announced plans to bring the Final Fantasy Trading Card Game to North America this October. They’ve even created a tutorial video to get prospective players up to speed, and it’s been embedded above.
The Final Fantasy Trading Card Game (“FFTCG”) is the result of a close collaboration between Hobby Japan and Square Enix. Designed by former trading card game champion Taro Kageyama, the game received high praise for its blend of strategy, luck and fast-paced gameplay making it very versatile and appealing to all kinds of audiences.
The first set, entitled “Opus 1,” will feature 216 cards with iconic designs from highly acclaimed artists including Tetsuya Nomura, Yoshitaka Amano, and Akihiko Yoshida, covering nearly 30 years of Final Fantasy. New cards themed after Final Fantasy VII Remake, Dissidia, and World of Final Fantasy will also make their debut in Opus 1. Each card in Opus 1 will also have a premium “Foil” version, making this set a must have for all the collectors out there.
The Final Fantasy Trading Card Game will be available in hobby stores across the country on October 28.
