Happy New Year and Stuff

It’s a new year! As we reflect on 2024, we look forward to the next year, we make our new years resolutions and drop them by tomorrow.

Now that that’s out of the way, let’s take a look at what’s in store for us this year.

We have 2 FFTCG products that are coming our way. The first one is the Legacy Collection set for release next month. If you’re just starting out with Final Fantasy TCG, this will be a great set for you. Plenty of meta cards, plus hundreds of Full Arts ready to be pulled.

After that Tears of the Planet will be coming out in March. We don’t have much information on that one, other than 2 cards that Square Enix has revealed. Aerith and Zack. From what I remember Zack will play well with Genesis of Hidden Trials. Which will be a good starting point to build a nice Shinra/SOLDIER deck.

That leaves us with 2 more sets that we have absolutely no information on. We should be getting a name and the box art for the set after Tears of the Planet soon. We should be expecting that during the Spoiler Season.

One thing that we haven’t seen in quite some time is a new Starter Set. Hopefully we’ll be getting at least one this year. Cause the last Starter cards that we got were in Beyond Destiny and that has been over a year ago.

We also have Magic : The Gathering Universes Beyond Final Fantasy set that should be coming out this year as well. This one is something that we are excited for as well. Technically we can’t get our hands on it from our distributor, but we will get our hands on it, and it will be available to you.

And, that is all we know about Final Fantasy and Trading Cards for this year.

Legacy Collection, Thoughts On Pull Rates

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?

Legacy Collection

Are you ready for this?

It looks like this will be a replacement for the Anniversary Collection Sets that we have had over the last few years. And, you’ll either be Excited or Disappointed.

Excited because all those cards that are worth a lot will come down in price allowing you to grab those cards on the cheap. And disappointed because, well if you bought those cards at a high price, that price will come down soon.

From the looks of it the Legacy Collection will be coming out in a smaller box, as it will only have 20 packs per box, and 5 cards per pack, giving you 100 cards per box, plus the box topper. Which will be a Crystal.

What about the Foils?

I’m glad you asked, these cards will be newly designed. Does that mean that the Foiling will be different? Does it mean the cards will have a new design completely? I guess we’ll be finding out in February.

I noticed that the numbers on the cards will be different, allowing collectors and players an easy way to distinguish between the 2 cards. This is something that I have been hoping Square Enix would do, as it now gives us an easy way of distinguishing the cards between the originals and the reprints.

Full Arts!!!

Every card will have one. That in itself will make the Legacy Collection worth it. 200 different Full Arts, most of which we’ve never had before. The more I read about this set the better it gets.

And we now have a chance at getting 2 different Gold Stamped Signatures. Yuna (12-105L) and Warrior of Light (19-128L)

2025 looks like it’s going to be a great year for FFTCG!
