Early feedback showed that many people said FINAL FANTASY was their first introduction to the RPG genre, so while we tried to make every card as specific to FINAL FANTASY as possible, there was a lot of merit in calling out hallmarks of RPGs in general with card designs that were resonant and understandable without needing to know any game-specific lore

These Wildcards, unfortunately, aren't going to be easy to come by, but we're going to tell you exactly how you earn them and ways to better plan your deck-building strategies in MTG Arena
We developed a workflow that asked concept artists and card artists to pull hallmark character designs from Yoshitaka Amanos original (and legendary) concept art, the original FFVI sprites, and the FFVI Pixel Remaster character portraits, to synthesize the most consistent elements of each characters design into something new. We also encouraged our artists to punch up finer details and bsexplore elements where they thought they could push (fabric, patterns, textures, etc.) Then, we would meet with the Final Fantasy VI review team, and they would give us feedback on what core elements they wanted to preserve and what new elements they were excited about. So they had the four games decided, but when it comes to Commander, thats only half the equation WOTC also needed to figure out which characters would lead each deck
They can then transform if no spells were cast in the last turn
