Well, this sucks.
Midnight Prerelease is postponed until further notice.
There seems to be a Nationwide delay on Hidden Legends. We’re not cancelling anything, we’re just waiting for the Kits to come to us.
The only thing that this means is that, we won’t be waiting until Midnight to hand out the kits. Unless everyone wants to wait until Midnight, then we’ll have a party!
We’ll keep you updated as we get more info.

It’s that time once again. Hidden Legends is just around the Korner.
That means that the Hidden Legends Midnight Pre-Release is almost here as well. We’re looking at Friday, November, 8th. Technically November, 9th. Just because we will start handing out the Pre-Release Kits for the event at 12AM.
And as usual, we will be giving out an extra kit to the winner. That means you’ll have 2 chances at pulling that Clive Gold Stamped Signature Full Art. (That’s a mouthful.) Even if you don’t win, you’ll still walk away with something.
2nd and 3rd will split a kit.
4th will receive 3 packs.
5th-8th will each receive a pack each.
The event starts at 12AM, but you can show up from 10PM for free play. Casuals and not just for FFTCG, if you want to play Magic, go ahead. Pokemon, Yu-gi-oh, anything you’d like.
We’ll just leave you with an address here. And, we’ll see you in about a month’s time.

Looks like we were right!
Priming is essentially leveling up a Character. As with the release of the Card of the Week Spoilers for Hidden Legends, Clive levels up to Ifrit.
I’m sorry, I meant Primes into Ifrit.
And, that also means that we are on a Countdown to Hidden Legends. 8 weeks away. Wait no, it’s only 6 Weeks away. That also means that Midnight Pre-release is 5 weeks away.
It’s coming a lot faster than expected.
Any ways back to Priming.
Will this be only for Final Fantasy XVI Characters, or will Characters from the other Final Fantasy games be able to Prime?
I’m guessing only FFXVI Characters. Because it wouldn’t seem right for Warrior of Light to Prime into Bahamut, or Cloud into Choco/Mog. Yeah, I’m just playing here.
This is an interesting set, and I believe we need to look into this a little bit more than usual.
What we know so far is that the Legacy Collection, will be replacing the Anniversary Collection Set of previous years. And, instead of just giving us all of the cards in one box, we’re hoping the RNG gods will help us with grabbing all the cards that we will need.
It’s a 200 card set, and each card will have a Premium Foil version, and also a Full Art version. As I previously stated, this might mean new art, I highly doubt it now. After I re-read the news article Square -Enix posted, it is just a different foil type. Will this be only for the Full Arts, or for the regular foils as well? That’s something that we will have to find out in February, unless we get shown some of these cards before hand.
Back to the the 200 cards. This set will give us a total of 600 cards plus the 2 Signature cards, and the 6 Crystal cards, these give us a total of 608 cards for a complete collection. And, that my friends will be a rare sight.
Speaking of the Gold Stamped Signature cards, how rare will these be? Because I’m sure it won’t be once in every 5 Master Cases, not with this many Full Arts. Even if they hand out 1 Full Art and one Foil in every pack you’ll still need at least 200 pack for a full set, which I don’t believe that they’ll do.
Let’s do some math.
A Master case is now 3 cases of 6 Boosters. A Booster is 20 packs. This gives us 360 packs per Master Case. Which makes it unlikely that we will be getting a complete set of Full Arts from one Master Case. Given that 200 of those cards will be the regular Foil Version, that leaves us with 160 slots for Full Arts, which I don’t believe that we’ll be getting that many.
And, since we won’t be getting a complete set of Full Arts in a Master Case, this brings me to believe that the chances of getting a Gold Stamped Signature card will be even rarer than the chances we all have with a regular set.
Let’s break this down a little further.
If we have 160 extra packs per Master Case, this gives us about 8-9 Full Arts per box. Which I believe is too high. I’ll say that they will be about 50 Full Arts per Master Case, which will give us about 3 Full Arts per box. Some boxes will have just 2 Full Arts if this is the case.
We’ll need 4 Master Cases for a complete set of Full Arts.
Since, we already know that with the regular sets, the chances of getting a Gold Stamped Signature was 1 in 5 Master Cases. That gives us 5 complete sets of Full Arts.
SO.
If we need 5 complete sets to pull a Gold Stamped Signature, That gives us 20 Master Cases.
That means we’ll be getting a Gold Stamped Signature in 1 out of 10 Master Cases.
Now, this is just my thoughts on it. We’ll have to wait until February to see a better number that’s closer to the pull rates.
Let us know what your thoughts are? Is my number too high or too low? Or did I hit the nail on the head?
