Wizards of the Coast and Square Enix have partnered to create a Magic: The Gathering set featuring characters from Final Fantasy. The first cards have been revealed, showcasing iconic figures like Cloud and Tidus alongside unique concepts such as Jumbo Cactuar. Discussions around the set began during the pandemic in 2021 and involved significant collaboration and planning to refine 16 Final Fantasy games into one cohesive Magic set. The partnership is positioned for future collaborations beyond the current set, emphasizing creative and logistical discussions essential to its success.
It takes so much time and conversation, from the first reveal like we did recently, to the set's launch, and then to any post-launch plans like reprints and everything else.
The foundation of the relationship between Wizards and Square Enix was built over Zoom—calls sometimes happening weekly, and other times happening multiple times a week.
