The upcoming Magic: The Gathering set, a collaboration with Final Fantasy, is a long-awaited culmination of four years of hard work by designers like Gavin Verhey and others. During a preview event, the team shared their excitement over the release, reminiscing about the creative journey and experiences they shared between Japan and the U.S. Highlights of the set include referencing beloved characters and scenarios from Final Fantasy, demonstrating a commitment to honoring both franchises. The set is set for launch on June 13, bringing a sense of victory for its development team.
I was designing cards at 2 AM is a common phrase out of Verhey's mouth. In this case, he's talking about Absolute Virtue, the powerful boss from Final Fantasy XI.
As we drove up to the convention center, there's this giant hotel-sized screen that says 'Magic: The Gathering - Final Fantasy on it, we all just looked at each other and said, 'This is it, this is what we've been waiting for. It's finally happening.'
