A collab between Magic: The Gathering and Final Fantasy is something of dreams for many TCG players. It certainly was a big dream of Shoichi Ichikawa, a producer of the Final Fantasy series. As the self-proclaimed biggest fan of Magic at Square Enix, Ichikawa was a big proponent of getting this collab done, and now it won't be long before everyone can purchase it for themselves. The legendary Magic: The Gathering X Final Fantasy collab set is expected to release on June 13, 2025.
This collaboration between Magic: The Gathering and Final Fantasy is expansive. It isn't limited to just a couple of cute promo cards. This is a whole set that we're talking about here. Every game from Final Fantasy I to Final Fantasy XVI is expected to be represented in some way. Some of the franchise's most popular characters are confirmed to be included, such as Terra, Lightning, Noctis, and Cloud. Those names just barely scratch the surface of what will be available, however.
The set will include more than just protagonists. In fact, it will include even more beyond some of the series' villains. Final Fantasy is known for its rich worlds, and this set will try to celebrate that as much as possible. Monsters, summons, and legendary weapons, they'll all be represented, as well. This collaboration is everything that Final Fantasy fans could have ever hoped for out of a crossover with Magic: The Gathering. Below are some of the arts that have been revealed for this upcoming set:
