Next up on the Wave 1 list is Gadot. Gadot is an easy one as well, following in the footsteps of Garland, and Auron. It’s the background image once again. But, before we get to that, let me give you a couple of links to guides that will help you on your journey, of Opus I Wave 1 cards.
“Distinguishing Final Fantasy TCG Opus 1 Wave 1 from Future Waves”
“Differences in Opus I Wave 1 Printing vs Later Waves”
As you can see in the background image of Gadot the Wave 1 image is a bit more transparent than the Wave 2 version. As always Wave 1 is on the left, Wave 2 is on the right.
As you can see Wave 1 Gadot has a reddish tint from the red on the card, while the Wave 2 has a slight grey tint.
There is also a small difference in the Crystals. Even side by side it is hard to tell the difference, but it’s there. We’re not even talking about the placement but the shade of the red used. The Wave 2 Gadot has a darker Crystal.
