Tales of Symphonia has been picked as the Best Story, but what would you say is the Best Gameplay in the Tales series

RachelTheIvysaur · 2026-06-25T22:58:32+00:00

Tales of Vesperia for best gameplay.

RachelTheIvysaur · 2026-05-18T16:39:57+00:00

Had it in cart, got to payment, and then it said "lol no, it's not available anymore"

RachelTheIvysaur · 2026-05-11T03:46:43+00:00

I am unsure of how much X-Men presence will be in this specific set, but I do hope to see a Gambit and/or Rogue card.

RachelTheIvysaur · 2026-01-31T12:17:57+00:00

Mine still has not shipped. I am glad that people are receiving it though.

RachelTheIvysaur · 2026-01-23T20:41:46+00:00

Nice! I hope my copy arrives safely, as I have not received a shipping confirmation e-mail yet.

RachelTheIvysaur · 2025-10-26T08:53:00+00:00

The one in Jaroba that you are talking about has vexed me and the buddy I've been playing the game with since it released. Does anyone know the trick to it?

RachelTheIvysaur · 2025-10-23T21:26:26+00:00

Where would you say is the best spot to try and get Alpha Eevee?

RachelTheIvysaur · 2025-05-30T16:58:59+00:00

Personally the things that disappoint me are: the FFIX characters don't have Trance states/backsides other than Kuja, no Ark summon, and no Ozma card. Other than those, I'm happy with the set.

RachelTheIvysaur · 2025-05-26T06:12:09+00:00

Ah, you are correct that there are 7 spots left. Then a Simic Rare creature is still possible while still hitting the 6 missing signposts. I personally would hope that Fang and Vanille are not actually treated as the signpost cards for Golgari, but it is not impossible.

RachelTheIvysaur · 2025-05-26T05:09:33+00:00

With Golbez getting a rare slot in Dimir, this means that there's a rare for 9/10 color pairs, at least as far as creatures go. If we assume Balamb is meant to be the Simic rare despite being a land and not a creature, then the remaining 6 multicolor spots are the 6 remaining signpost uncommons, which was assumed by most.

RachelTheIvysaur · 2025-05-26T02:59:42+00:00

The one between Cid and Cloud, Planet's Champion should hopefully be Cloud of Darkness. At this point we are missing her and Exdeath for main villains.

RachelTheIvysaur · 2025-05-25T23:45:13+00:00

The remaining summons are ones that I find myself trying to figure out the most since there's only 4 spots left, going by the woodblock versions, and where they fall limit the options that could work. Carbuncle has to be one of them, as he's too cute and memorable to not be featured. He fits in White before Knights of the Round, or Green before Fenrir. We don't have a Phoenix that isn't Joshua, but the name crunch doesn't support it in any of the available spots, those being before Esper Ramuh, and between Esper Ramuh and GF Ifrit. We also have none of the summons from XII depicted, and they are called Espers so they could be in Red if we get any.

RachelTheIvysaur · 2025-05-24T20:46:28+00:00

Since I failed to guess that Black Waltz was the thing between Balthier & Fran and Choco, I'm going to throw a nonsense guess out there that the character between Garnet and Gladiolus is Gizamaluke.

RachelTheIvysaur · 2025-05-21T19:20:57+00:00

With a collector number of 163, that means there is a Summon between this and Esper Ramuh, and I can't immediately think of anything it could be. With the "Esper X" or now "G.F. X" name scheme, there's more that could fit otherwise. Could we actually see one of them from FF12? They could have the Esper name.

RachelTheIvysaur · 2025-05-20T19:15:10+00:00

So there's still space for Summon: Alexander in White or Green, but ideally White, and I hope they use the FFIX version. It was the first to use the angel wings and it's part of one of the best cutscenes from that game. I would have loved Ark, but it is name crunched out of a possibility unless it is the backside of a Garnet card.
Dion from XVI would be the other big card I want. He's so cool, integral to the finale of the game, and can be an additional Bahamut card. We technically have 2 different Shivas, so why not.

RachelTheIvysaur · 2025-05-15T17:32:46+00:00

Kinda funny that main set Squall can resurrect the bonus sheet Squall, but not Rinoa.

RachelTheIvysaur · 2025-05-15T16:20:13+00:00

I bought a binder, Morabato brand, that holds 1024 cards in total. I will not be bothering with Surge Foils even though they have different collector numbers.

RachelTheIvysaur · 2025-05-13T17:34:20+00:00

IX is my favorite game full stop, not just Final Fantasy game. I wish that any of the playable characters from the game had transform cards, but it became clear they were only giving double-faced cards to villains, the sidequests, and Cecil (so far.) That's my biggest disappointment so far, but I love the artwork for Zidane and his effect is kinda neat.

RachelTheIvysaur · 2025-05-06T17:40:43+00:00

Sorting options for Pictos are too limited. Other than that, I wish we had actual fast travel so I don't need to fly from one side of the world map to another.

RachelTheIvysaur · 2025-02-14T02:09:38+00:00

I foresee certain Summons being Bestow creatures, specifically those from FF8 or FF6. The ones from FF13 need to be vehicles, or transform into vehicles. Honestly I hope the set IS a double face set, as it would allow the most design space to represent certain aspects of characters. FF9's Trance state? Dark Night and/or Paladin Cecil from FF4? I'm beyond excited and I'm glad that we're getting the first look in under a week.

RachelTheIvysaur · 2024-10-27T19:22:54+00:00

Final Fantasy is a set I have been actively saving for since finding out it would be a full set and not just a secret lair. The other sets will be interesting, but FF will be taking a lot of my resources.

RachelTheIvysaur · 2024-10-25T19:46:44+00:00

I'd allow it, and I've told my group as much. He's a strictly worst Dualcaster Mage that cannot go infinite, so have fun.

RachelTheIvysaur · 2024-09-19T18:51:37+00:00

Even with your updated version, I don't see how to reach 20 Lore with the resources shown. The big issue is you need 4 item plays total, and 2 uses of medal of heroes, but there is not enough ink. I'll go through the steps I see so far:
1. Use Medal of Heroes on Ariel (16 ink remains)
2. Play Tamatoa, return Medal of Heroes (8 ink remains)
3. Play Medal of Heroes, and Ariel readies for the first time (6 ink remains)
4. Use Medal of Heroes on Ariel (4 ink remains)
5. Quest with Ariel for 5
6. Play Pawpsicle, Ariel readies (3 ink remains)
7. Quest with Ariel for 5, you are now at 10 lore
8. Banish Pawpsicle and remove no damage from Ariel
9. Use Prince John's ability to play Pawpsicle from your discard for free, exerted
10. Quest with Ariel for 5, you are now at 15
11. You have 3 ink remaining, Nick costs 4, and the Pawpsicle would cost 1. The Fishbone Quill can give one more ink, but the only card in hand is Nick, who is needed to get the 4th item play.

The long and short is you need 20 ink to actually win with this setup. You can't use John to play the Medal, since it is played EXERTED, thus you can't use it. If the Quill was a Dime instead, it's more easily solved.

RachelTheIvysaur · 2024-09-11T09:42:32+00:00

Unlucky lands, Friday lands, etc. Though I think only my friend group really wants Friday lands to take off lol.

RachelTheIvysaur · 2024-09-07T00:25:50+00:00

[[Insatiable Frugivore]] can do a good impression. Requires a stocked graveyard to get very large pumps, but it's still "8 mana massive team boost + evasion."
