It’s time to turn the heat up with Ifrit, because Ifrit EX, has no sure signs of pointing out which Wave Ifrit is. So, we’ll have to look at the two guides below to help us out. Let me go ahead and give you the links from the guides from the introduction post that will help you guide your way.
“Distinguishing Final Fantasy TCG Opus 1 Wave 1 from Future Waves”
“Differences in Opus I Wave 1 Printing vs Later Waves”
They both look the same, don’t they?
But, there is tiny differences that we can point out. The Crystal being the first one. The one on the Wave 1 is closer to the top edge than the Wave 2 Ifrit. Also, the colors on the card are a little different as well. Ifrit’s body has a lighter shade for Wave 1 and darker for Wave 2.
And, lastly the Category box. If you look closely you can see the shading of the blue color, Wave 1 has a white tint, while Wave 2 looks like it has a purple tint.
