Final Fantasy broke pretty much every sales record in Magic: The Gathering 's 33-year history
Senior game designer Daniel Holt explained that the decision to have each deck themed around one game allowed the team to "dive deep into the lore of each, capturing even more beloved moments from across the games storyline." When asked exactly how Wizards of the Coast came to choose the games that would be included in the crossover (I'm slightly disappointed Final Fantasy 9 didn't make the cut), Holt explained that Final Fantasy 7 and 14 were the clear picks due to their popularity, but that Final Fantasy 6 and 10 were chosen partially due to how many fans of those games were among the Wizards of the Coast team
