Final Fantasy Trading Card Game

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 cards 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, thunder and aqua (water), as well as two special properties, shine (light) and dark.

Release
The trading card game went on sale on February 25th, 2011 in Japan, introducing two Entry Sets. The sets contain 50 cards and comes 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 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.

A second booster series, Chapter II, was also released on May 27, 2011, with two new Entry Sets, Earth and Lightning.
