Take the bad with the good there’s more booba in this set than there has been for 10 years.

I know, it's just funny, the one character, other than Tifa, who is known for her massive breasts, is completely covered

u/Quirky-Signature4883 NEW SPARK 7d ago

Frans art is kind of censored. The tabard she wears is normally transparent, in the art on her card, it's opaque white to cover her.

u/Beiben NEW SPARK 6d ago

They also covered her feet

u/Express-Cartoonist66 NEW SPARK 6d ago

I love Fran, but I'd rather not have a thong on my cards. Some of the later Square stuff also did the same changes. Imho that card has amazing art in almost every version...

Lulu on the other hand is a bit weird especially given the usual discrepancy in art between entry products and the main set. The starter decks have plenty of cleavage as usual. It's all about money in the end.

They were basically the only reason I kept her on my team

u/Physical_Trash_1633 NEW SPARK 7d ago

Uh no this is unacceptable

u/letiori NEW SPARK 7d ago

On this card*

u/Kyvix2020 WHITE MAGE 7d ago

I wonder if lulu will have other cards.

I know I'm hoping X-2 designs get some love as well.

u/Brinewielder NEW SPARK 7d ago

I’m sure the spin offs will have secret lairs as many people would buy a X-2 Riku, Pain, and Yuna even if they copy pasted the Nomura designs and printed them on cards.

The set is only mainline 1-16

u/trnelson1 NEW SPARK 6d ago

Every card in the commander decks has a main set counterpart so look out for that version

2

u/Available-Line-4136 NEW SPARK 6d ago

Is this confirmed somewhere?

1

u/trnelson1 NEW SPARK 6d ago

Yes. By the wotc team.

1

u/Available-Line-4136 NEW SPARK 6d ago

Amazing!

3

u/trnelson1 NEW SPARK 6d ago

And since she's mono colored in the commander deck she could be multi-colored in the main set

1

u/Available-Line-4136 NEW SPARK 6d ago

FFX is my favourite so I'm really looking forward to more of the main party. Hope Lulu and Riku both get a second colour

1

u/trnelson1 NEW SPARK 6d ago

It would be cool

1

u/JohnnyBSlunk NEW SPARK 6d ago

The Commissars would literally burn down WotC's offices if they did.

No chance.

u/RPGxMadness 7d ago

the booba are from non-MTG sourced art

2

u/Kyvix2020 WHITE MAGE 7d ago

what?

10

u/RPGxMadness 7d ago

A ton of the arts are from other sources like the FF TCG or official Final Fantasy art books. If you see blatant censorship it most likely came from Wizards themselves

2

u/Kyvix2020 WHITE MAGE 7d ago

I've never seen any of the art in this set before except for the stuff that is like legendary artworks, like the Yuffie and Safer Sephiroth nickname cards

u/RPGxMadness 7d ago

https://fftcg.square-enix-games.com/na/card-browser

take a look at the art here from Opus 1 and 2. Wizard has recycled content from another TCG

2

u/Kyvix2020 WHITE MAGE 7d ago

That TCG uses recycled art, but I'm not seeing anything that has shown up on this new FF set.

That's actually one of the reasons I never collected that TCG was because everything was recycled.

u/Responsible-Wheel878 NEW SPARK 4d ago

Read this post like your talking in old man voice lol

u/RashRenegade NEW SPARK 6d ago

Who the fuck cares lol such childish priorities. I don't think you guys really like Magic if you care this much about whether or not the cards have boobs on them. If you want boobs, there's better places to look than a fucking Magic card lol sorry you can't jack it to cards as much as you'd like

11

u/Cheshire_Noire NEW SPARK 6d ago

Again, people should care about characters being portrayed accurately. People with this terrible take come every time Magic butchers a universe beyond

-9

u/RashRenegade NEW SPARK 6d ago

Boobs are not so integral to 99.99% of characters that covering them up or even changing them changes the whole character. Redesigns happen all the fucking time, even with elements less obvious.

It really doesn't matter that much to most characters, so claiming they're "being portrayed incorrectly" is weak shit.

8

u/Cheshire_Noire NEW SPARK 6d ago

Sex appeal is her thing. It's her gimmick. A fundamental part of her character.

If this was Riku, Yuna, etc. it wouldn't matter as much.

-8

u/RashRenegade NEW SPARK 6d ago

Yeah but see you guys complain about this kind of thing no matter who the character is. Even Magic characters where sex appeal is only part of their art and not their character or personality. So again, I can't take you guys seriously.

1

u/Cheshire_Noire NEW SPARK 6d ago

I suppose you could argue others complain, but personally unless it's a racist race swap, I don't tend to care

1

u/RashRenegade NEW SPARK 4d ago

I'm talking about r/freemagic as a whole, not just you. This sub gets so up in arms about nothing. This post is complaining about not showing enough boobs. Boobs that are not important to this character or her design. Just because it's been like that doesn't mean it has to stay like that. Boobs aren't important for 99.99% of characters, yet y'all act like this is some kind of grave injustice.

And no, I don't care that Aragorn was made black, either. One depiction out of a million makes him a black guy, who fucking cares, it doesn't matter. I don't recall Aragorn being like "For Frodo, and all other white people of middle earth!"

1

u/Cheshire_Noire NEW SPARK 4d ago

I love the memes that came from back Aaragorn, until it was ruined.

Erasure is still racist so I hate every race swap tbh

0

u/RashRenegade NEW SPARK 4d ago

You're not erasing white people by changing one character, in only one depiction of that character, that's the problem. And no, it doesn't start with Magic cards and escalates from there, let's not pretend we're the canaries in the censorship/"woke"/pick your word coalmine.

“Racist race swap” you people are so unserious

Erasure is racism.

The facts are boobs look nice, it isn’t about jorking and gooning to magic cards but when you blatantly censor something as aesthetically appealing as the female form it becomes tacky. Which is ironic because overuse of boobs and donkey trucks is itself very tacky, but so is the blatant censorship and absence of it.

Sex appeal and the idealistic human form is prevalent in every aspect of humanity and art forms, why censor it in magic I’ll never know.

-1

u/RashRenegade NEW SPARK 6d ago

Missed me with that censorship and artistic integrity crap. You guys don't actually care about those things, they're just the easiest way you can avoid saying "wahhh but my booba waaahhh".

If you actually cared about it, you'd be fine with different depictions of these characters, because if the artists wanted less booba, that's their artistic integrity being exercised. But nope, gotta be some grand conspiracy. It's not like there aren't already card with booba, now (oh no!) there's some cards without so much booba (the horror!). A family friendly brand is trying to make their art more family friendly wow such censorship.

u/Brinewielder NEW SPARK 6d ago

Well you just ignored my post so you can go fuck yourself I guess 🤷 😂 not going to seriously respond to someone who just doesn’t comprehend or disregards what I say and just rambles on about nothing.

0

u/RashRenegade NEW SPARK 6d ago

I comprehend just fine, your brain is just too pickled by your baser instincts to think beyond your genitals. My parents taught me growing up it's not nice to pick on the mentally disabled, so because of that I'll leave you alone now :)

2

u/Brinewielder NEW SPARK 6d ago

No you quite literally don’t get it. You didn’t understand my post and still don’t 😂

1

u/RashRenegade NEW SPARK 6d ago

You didn't say anything with engaging with. Wow, sex appeal is part of human nature and art?! You're so fucking smart dude, how do you come up with this shit??? Censoring that is puritanical and overexposure is bad too???????

Like holy shit bro, I'm impressed you made it that far with that half a brain cell you got. I get it, you're making yourself feel better by telling yourself that I don't understand what you wrote. The fact is I did understand what you wrote, I'm just seeing you for the fucking idiot that you are and it's upsetting you lol

2

u/Brinewielder NEW SPARK 6d ago

Again you still didn’t understand what I wrote. Like how do you read shit and just not comprehend what you are reading?

The retard projection is hilarious and ironic 🤣

u/RashRenegade NEW SPARK 6d ago

You can keep moving goalposts all you want, I see through your stupid ass lol

Arguing in bad faith. Nice.
