There is another Pop-Up on the way. And yes, we will have a booth there once again. Same place as before. I believe this one will have a little bit of everything, but there will be tables setup for casual play once again.

FFM Returns!
Forget about FNM, we’ve got FFM.
FFM stands for Final Fantasy Midnight. Our events for everyone that can’t make it to regular events because of their jobs. Just like us, we we’re never able to make it to events, cause we worked all day, and by the time we would be able to head over, the event was over.
Here’s what we got.
Date. Time. Location and Prizes.
Friday, February 25th. (Date may be changed due to delays. We’ll let you know as soon as we find out.)
9229 S Cicero Ave
Oak Lawn, IL 60453
Time?
Come by any time after 10PM. You can hang out while we set things up, maybe even play some a game or two. The Event will start at 12AM (Technically it’s Saturday).
Prizes?
Yes, there will be a Prize for the winner. Either another FFX Custom Starter Set, or one of your choosing from the ones available at the Event.
Need more information? You can always contact us through E-mail.
We have a few events coming up. Some closer than the others. So far we have 4 scheduled events for 2022, and another 4 after that, but we aren’t too sure about the dates so we’ll leave them at that.
First things First.

That is what we have at the moment. We’ll be adding more events as more events show up.
Hope to see you there. Yes, you. The one that’s reading this right now.
Well, I was wrong on who is going to be on the Box Art. I was close though. I said it could be Leon or Queen Hilda. What we got was Minwu. Minwu? Why Minwu? Is it perhaps to tell us that this set will be all about protection. Probably not. Minwu as we all know was the one who helped Firion, Maria and Guy, after they were beaten to a pulp by the Black Knights. So, I’m guessing support. Or just a little bit of everything as usual.
3 Legacy cards once again. nothing changed here.
-Firion (6-019L)
-Veritas of the Dark (8-136L)
-Y’shtola (12-119L)
130 card + 10 starters and 22 Full Arts leaves us with one more card, which will probably be another Crystal. 21 cards per element and 2 and 2 for Light and Dark.
We did get a look at some of the cards. Just artwork, but you can tell Serah, Penelo, Cissnei, Glaciela And Exdeath are all Forwards. And we know that 3 of them are Legends. Serah, Glaciela and Exdeath. Penelo is a Hero, Cissnei a Rare. And Our Summon Atlas. Just a Rare as well.
From these cards without knowing what they do. I’m interested in Cissnei and Glaciela. We always need more Turks support. Along with the Avalanche Vs Shinra Starter deck. I’m hoping we’ll be able to make that deck stronger. Turn Turks into the next Scions. We already have a great Starter Deck. Give us more cards to Overpower it now.
Speaking of Starter Decks.
Golbez Vs. Cecil
I wanted to write Golbez Vs. Kain for some reason.
You can actually say Kain Vs. Kain. As he is in both decks. Which Kain will reign Supreme? The one with a Evil Warlock in his corner, Or the one with a righteous Paladin?
Starter Cards
Fire
– Kain (17-131S)
– Zeromus (17-132S)
Earth
– Scarmiglione (17-133S)
– Baigan (17-134S)
Lightning
– Edge (17-135S)
– Kain (17-136S)
Water
– Rydia (17-137S)
– Rosa (17-138S)
Light
– Cecil (17-139S)
Dark
– Golbez (17-140S)
We’re seeing characters in elements that they haven’t been before. Kain makes his debut in Fire, and Rydia in Water. And Golbez is now a Dark card. That’ll be 4 different elements to his name.
(Hmmm, I wonder if we’ll ever get a Character that has a copy of himself in all elements. I’m guessing when it finally happens it should be Kain. But, that’s a story for another day.)
Full Art Foils included in this set as well. Both Cecil and Golbez will have one. I can’t say I know how these decks will play out, but they will be here before we know it.
Do you think Minwu was a good choice for the box art? Let us know.
Yes, it’s been a while, but we’ve been preparing behind the scenes. Tonight is our Prerelease even for Crystal Dominion, and if we can get more than 1 person to come, I’ll consider it a success.
We’re getting ready to start setting everything up shortly. Waiting on a couple more tables. Just in case 2 people show up. Which just means that I will have more boxes for me to keep. And hopefully, pull that Full Art Ultros. Because that is the best looking card I have seen in a long time.
Prize support still depends on how many people show up, but First Place will be a Crystal Dominion Pre-Release Kit. If 8 people show up 2nd and 3rd will split a kit between themselves. With 2nd getting the choice of either the sleeves or the promo card, and then 5 packs. While 3rd will get the rest.
Almost 7PM. Event starts at 12AM.
Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock.
This will actually be a trial run. If everything goes well, we’ll be hosting more events here. All proceeds will benefit the opening of a Brick & Mortar. Otherwise know as your Local LGS. Yes, that is correct you read that right. Your Local “Local Game Store”.
Now, instead of blogging, I should get back to what I was supposed to be doing.
I’ll see you all later.
