Site Update 02/13/2023

It’s been busy around here behind the scenes.

We’ve been trying to separate all of our Opus I cards between Wave 1 and Wave 2. Some cards are real easy to distinguish the differences, others are just the same image with just tiny differences that half the time you’re not even sure what you’re looking at.

Luckily there are a couple of guides. I posted them on some previous Wave 1 posts and I’ll keep posting them on every Wave 1 post. I’ll just go ahead and post them here once again.

“Distinguishing Final Fantasy TCG Opus 1 Wave 1 from Future Waves”

“Differences in Opus I Wave 1 Printing vs Later Waves”

Now we’ve slowly been adding Opus I singles to the site. We finished Fire, Ice and Wind, and are currently working on Earth. Take a look and pick some up.

The Final Fantasy XIII Custom Starter Deck is right around the corner. We’ll be taking Pre-orders soon. We’ll be shipping them out as soon as they come in, so you can get them as close to release date as possible.

Other than that, we’re going to be finishing these Wave 1 Singles for a while.

Boss Deck, Check. Sephiroth, Check.

How did we forget?

Well, we didn’t actually forget, but we still think it’s 2022.

The new Boss Deck is coming out in the next couple of days. And, we will have some. They are currently on their way. In a truck somewhere on the highway. And they could be on their way to you as well.

I remember when the first Boss Deck came out, we had some fun with it. Trying to take on 3 people is a beast of it’s own. Imagine being the Boss in a video game. You got to take the Light Warriors out, or in this case, AVALANCHE.

Keep an eye out for our unboxing video coming in the next few days, as we dive into a deck and check out what these cards look like.

Wave 1 – Auron – 1-001H

Starting off right at the beginning. This one is not confirmed, but my personal opinion. I noticed this by looking at a graded Wave 1 Foil. The foil pattern is different between the 2 Waves. Here are the two guides from the introduction post that will help you guide your way.

“Differences in Opus I Wave 1 Printing vs Later Waves”

If you look closely, you can tell that the colors on the cards are a little different. The Wave 1 card looks a little dull compared to Wave 2 which is more vibrant.

Wave 1 is on the left, and Wave 2 is on the right.

First off, I noticed that the whole card is moved up, not just the Crystal. If you take a look at Auron’s boot there is more showing than what is on the Wave 2 card.

Something else I also noticed, but is not consistent on Wave 2 cards. Could be the difference between Wave 2 and Wave 3. There is a little, let’s call it a, blob on the left side of the card. Could just be a printing error, but it is something I noticed when I was studying the cards.

Introduction to Opus I – Wave 1

I would have written a quick guide myself, but there are already a couple of people that have done so, and probably did a better job at it than I would have been able to.

They both cover the same things and for most of the cards these guides will help you determine if you have a Wave 1 or Wave 2 card on your hands.

First one is from Stephen Bongner. He is the Administrator of the FFTCG Marketplace on Facebook. Plenty of knowledge on the game and cards. He created the “Distinguishing Final Fantasy TCG Opus 1 Wave 1 from Future Waves” guide and you can find it here.

Second one is from Conkwe, who runs the FFTCG Boards. I have been going these boards for since Opus VI. Other than his guide on Wave 1 differences, he shares lists of Errata, Promo cards and Variants, and is always a good place to check out. His Wave 1 guide “Differences in Opus I Wave 1 Printing vs Later Waves” can be found here.

These 2 guides are a great place to start figuring out the differences. I hope you find these guides as helpful as I have found them.

Site Update 20230122

Happy New Year, and Lunar New Year and all the other holidays.

We’ve been back at work behind the seems as usual. Slowly adding more singles to the website. We finished Resurgence of Power, and slowly started Opus I.

We will be doing Opus I slowly, as we have Wave 1 cards mixed all together with Wave 2 and we need to slowly sort them all out. Plus we figured to slowly start a Wave 1 guide. We’ve been searching near and far and in between, and we believe we’re slowly starting to crack the code on all the cards that don’t have a distinct characteristic to show you that it is definitely Wave 1 or Wave 2.

As always these are our opinions and they may be wrong, unless we have something verified we won’t know 100% if we a right or wrong. The cards that we are 100% sure we will have “Verified” in the title. All the other cards will be just our opinion until they are verified.

Be on the lookout for more Events and Vendor Shows coming up.
