Magic: The Gathering Reveals Mesmerizing Final Fantasy Set in a 2-Hour Video Unboxing

Alright, so picture this: it’s PAX East, and the room’s basically vibrating with excitement—I mean, joy levels off the charts! Wizards of the Coast is pulling off some kind of magic (pun not intended, but hey) with their new Magic: The Gathering and Final Fantasy mash-up. Folks were literally yelling in delight. Not even kidding. Total chaos in the best way.

Now, yes, they’ve talked about this set before. I remember hearing whispers back in February. But this walkthrough? Oh man, it’s like they cracked open a treasure chest—Chocobos, yeah, those cute bird-things, and lands that look like straight outta those epic Final Fantasy scenes that are somehow both breathtaking and surreal? I kinda want to live there.

And here’s the kicker: Yoshitaka Amano is back. You know, the guy with the artwork that always has you thinking, “How does he even come up with this stuff?” He’s given us a fresh take on Kefka—it’s almost unsettling how much I want to see these cards.

So, this isn’t Wizards’ first rodeo, I’m telling ya. They have their hands in all sorts of crossovers—Lord of the Rings, Marvel, even Spongebob. It’s honestly like everyone’s jumping on the bandwagon. But here’s the surprising part: despite all the world’s financial hullabaloos (because, trust me, there’s no shortage), they’re expecting the release to be monumental. Chris Cocks from Hasbro even said it’s already the best-selling thing they’ve got. Mind-blowing, right?

Yet, we’re still sitting here, waiting for the actual release—it’s like anticipation is at an all-time high. June 13 is marked, circled, and underlined in my calendar. Oh, and if you’re like me and need these in your life from day one, there’s a way to pre-order. Just saying.
