Square Enix has detailed their upcoming Final Fantasy Trading Card Game, a one-on-one game featuring characters, summons, and more from the entire span of the Final Fantasy series. Three card types create the backbone for the card game: Forward cards are you basic attack/block cards, Backup cards provide Crystal Points to play and abilities to support your Forwards, and Summons are powerful, single-use cards. Six elemental groups (fire, ice, wind, earth, snow, water) and two special elements (light, darkness) provide for card typing.
The card game goes on sale in Japan on February 25th. The two Entry Sets — Black Deck and White Deck — will come with 50 cards (including one card exclusive to each set) and cost ¥1,500 each, while Booster Packs of eight random cards will be available for ¥330. In all, there are 160 standard and 162 premium cards, each being assigned to one of five levels of rarity.
Finally, each copy of The 3rd Birthday was bundled with a promo card when it launched last week. Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep and Dissidia Duodecim Final Fantasy will follow suit in January and March, respectively. You can view those promo cards below.
