As part of MagicCon: Las Vegas, Wizards of the Coast have revealed a bunch of new sets that will be released at some point in 2025, and while we’ll get into the other sets a little further down, the focus here is definitely on the Final Fantasy cards and the bea🙈utiful examples of artwork that we𓆏’ve already seen. 

The set will feature not only well known faces from across the 16 game franchise, but also locations, spells, and mounts. It will be the largest single collection of artwork from the franchise as well, featuring artwork by both Wizards of the Coast artists and renowned Final Fantasy illustrators. 

My Final Fantasy XIV fangirl heart is overjoyed at the inclusion of an Emet-Selch card, as well as other familiar faces like Kefka from FFVI and Sephiroth from FFVII. There’s also a Post Moogle that’s beyond adorable, and an illustration of🅺 Tidus and Yuna wrapped in an embrace. 

I’ve got to be honest, I’ve m🅷anaged to avoid being pulled into the world of Magic: The Gathering thus far, but this might be✅ the set that breaks me. In fact, there’s no might about it, I’ll be pre-ordering this as soon as I possibly can. If you want to do the same, you can sign up for updates via the .

I think you could be forgiven if you didn’t see this one coming, but yes you read that correctly.
