With Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth now in the rearview mirror, all eyes are on the third and final piece of the remake trilogy. While we don’t even know the name of the third game yet, we do have a glimpse at what could be the new design for Safer Sephiroth, the villain’s iconic final form... and it’s thanks to Magic: The Gathering. While it’s a cryptic hint, it has some interesting implications.
At PAX 2025, Magic: The Gathering unveiled a first look at its upcoming Final Fantasy set, detailing cards from across all 16 mainline games. Many of these cards include brand-new art from artists who have worked on Final Fantasy for decades, including original Final Fantasy 7 director Tetsuya Nomura, one of the leading creators on the Remake trilogy.
