Final Fantasy X 25th anniversary collection for FFTCG arrives in January 2027

• The set is now available to pre-order and is scheduled for January 2027.
• The cards feature a foil finish and card text in Al Bhed.

What happened

Square Enix has announced a Final Fantasy X product to mark the game’s 25th anniversary. It is not a new video game, but a special collection for the Final Fantasy Trading Card Game (FFTCG). In other words, Square Enix is turning the Final Fantasy X anniversary into a physical card release rather than a new console or PC launch.

According to the available information, the collection is already available to pre-order. Its release is currently planned for January 2027, although the source describes that date as an expectation rather than a final confirmed release date. The timing lines up with the broader celebration of Final Fantasy X, which launched in Japan in July 2001, in North America in December 2001, and worldwide in 2002.

Square Enix says the set will feature an exclusive foil finish and card text in Al Bhed. It will also include fan-favourite cards from FFTCG history, along with rare cards from the Blissful Eternity booster pack. The announcement also names several well-known Final Fantasy X characters, including Tidus, Yuna, Auron, Rikku, Kimahri, and Lulu. That makes it clear Square Enix is positioning the collection as a true anniversary product that draws on recognisable elements from both the game and the card game.

Background

Final Fantasy X first released in Japan in July 2001, followed by North America in December 2001 and a worldwide launch in 2002. That makes the game more than two decades old, while still remaining one of the most recognisable entries in the Final Fantasy franchise. The new FFTCG collection ties into that anniversary and uses familiar characters from the game, including Tidus, Yuna, Auron, Rikku, Kimahri, and Lulu. By combining those characters with a special card release, Square Enix is directly linking Final Fantasy X’s legacy to the existing card game.

The announcement fits into the wider trend of Final Fantasy anniversary products, but in this case it is specifically a Trading Card Game set rather than a new release for consoles or PC. That distinction matters, because the source explicitly presents the collection as an FFTCG product. The set also gets a presentation that suits a commemorative edition, with a foil finish and card text in Al Bhed. That choice makes the release feel thematically different from a standard card set and puts the focus squarely on the world of Final Fantasy X.

According to the available information, the collection also includes fan-favourite cards from FFTCG history and rare cards from the Blissful Eternity booster pack. That suggests Square Enix is not only drawing from Final Fantasy X as source material, but also from earlier moments in the card game itself. The mix of older favourites, rare cards, and anniversary styling makes the set a collector-focused release within the FFTCG line.

The current schedule points to January 2027 as the release window, but the source frames that as an expectation. There is no confirmation in the provided information that the date is final, and details about regional availability or the full product lineup are still missing. What is clear is that Square Enix has already opened pre-orders and that the announcement is about a physical collector’s product rather than a new game reveal.
