Final Fantasy Trading Card Game

Unreleased

The Final Fantasy Trading Card Game is a product released by Square-Enix featuring Final Fantasy characters. Similar to other trading card games, players build decks of cards and battle each other using them.

Game Mechanics
There are three types of card: Forward cards are used to attack and defend, Backup provide "Crystal Points" needed to play other cards and support Forward cards, and Summon cards have powerful effects but only take effect once. There are six elemental properties a card can have: fire, ice, wind, earth, snow and water, as well as two special properties, light and darkness.

Release
The first Entry Sets of the game will be made for sale on February 25th 2011. The sets contain 50 cards, and come in two types - Black Deck and White Deck - while boosters will contain eight cards each. Currently there are a total of 322 cards: 160 standard cards and 162 premium cards. The five rarity types for the cards are Common, Uncommon, Rare, Special Rare, and Premium.

The 3rd Birthday contains a promotional Aya Brea card when purchased, while the upcoming Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep Final Mix will contain a promotional Cloud Strife card. Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy will also be released with a tie-in promotional card.

Currently Confirmed Cards
The following is a list of cards currently revealed. Two cards of Cloud Strife have been shown, one using his Dissidia art and the other a promotional card using his Kingdom Hearts art, so it appears the same character may be featured on several cards differentiated by what render or artwork of them is used.
