New Final Fantasy Releases Come Out December 5th

On Friday, a major Magic: The Gathering preview panel at MagicCon Atlanta revealed a ton of new game products. The company also showcased a bunch of Secret Lair drops. We covered both of these preview panels. However, we didn't cover the new Final Fantasy product lineup, which is due out on December 5th of this year. So, read on as we do that as well!

Scene Boxes for Final Fantasy, FFVIII, FFIX, and FFXV

Four new Scene Boxes are set to release among these products. They depict pivotal scenes from Final Fantasy (the first one), FFVIIIFFIX, and FFXV. This is neat partly because those games didn't get preconstructed Commander deck releases. The scene boxes also contain six new, mechanically unique cards each.

Notably, Square Enix itself revealed the contents of the Final Fantasy IX scene box, titled The Siege of Alexandria. All of the cards in each of these scene boxes are pretty great though, not just FFIX!

Chocobo Bundle

Next, Wizards of the Coast is releasing a Chocobo Bundle for the set. This new bundle product is distinct from the original MTGFIN bundle because it contains three new promos: a Birds of ParadiseBirds of Paradise Chocobo reskin, two new borderless promos from the Commander decks (or one card that is an exception; more on that in a second!), ten new basic lands, one card from the Scene Boxes, and a new Chocobo-themed life clickwheel. But let's show you what the Chocobo Bundle looks like!

We mentioned that there's one exception to the borderless cards from MTGFIC among the promos you can receive from this bundle. That card happens to not be in any Final Fantasy product save for this one, as it stands. It's a doozy, though: it's a special promo of Snapcaster MageSnapcaster Mage, with a style straight from FFXIV!

Limit Break - Game Edition

Finally, there's a product that I expect to sell out immediately. This item is the "Game Edition" of the Limit Break Commander deck.

This special Commander deck is mechanically the same as the "Limit Break" deck from the Final Fantasy Commander release, with two notable differences. For one, it comes with a promo version of Cloud, Midgar MercenaryCloud, Midgar Mercenary, with new art from the original Final Fantasy VII game. Furthermore, the deck also comes with a copy of a code for the original Final Fantasy VII video game itself.

Unfortunately, the DailyMTG article doesn't expand upon what system the video game is compatible with. However, our bet is on a Sony PlayStation console (either the PS4, or both PS4 and PS5, but we cannot confirm that right now).
