Anyone who's played a Final Fantasy game knows that the only thing more important than saving the world from complete annihilation is collecting cards for your Tetra Master deck or finally beating that damn fisherman at Triple Triad.
Now, Square Enix has announced that it will be pairing with Hobby Japan to produce a real-world Final Fantasy trading card game that will allow fans to engage in strategic card battling without the hassle of rescuing billions of ungrateful NPCs from extinction.
It isn't clear how the game will play (or if it will even be released in North America) but Square Enix has said that cards will take into account each characters' unique in-game abilities and skills. Meaning: if your friend plays an Ultimate Weapon card, you might as well call it a game.
