I believe it is sort of under-appreciated how humorous Tetsuya Nomura is. In recent times his social media presence has develop into fairly mysterious, in that he’ll simply sort of drop some sort of cryptic tease on Twitter after which not clarify himself. Regardless of not having revealed a single drop of details about Kingdom Hearts 4 since its announcement three years in the past, Nomura hinted at some deeper lore in regards to the sequence’ paopu fruit in a really nonchalant method. It is simply humorous at this level! And he is executed it once more, this time with a Magic the Gathering card.
In case you did not know, Magic the Gathering is getting a complete Closing Fantasy themed set that can most likely single handedly get many individuals into Magic the Gathering. Yesterday, an entire bunch of playing cards from the set have been revealed, together with some particular ones with fancy artwork. Unsurprisingly, everybody’s favorite long-haired, long-sworded Sephiroth is a card with two bits of artwork, one along with his common look, the opposite his last boss type. It is that second one, “Safer Sephiroth”, that Nomura has commented on that has me, and plenty of others, questioning if it is truly a nod towards Closing Fantasy 7 Remake 3 (or no matter it is known as).
“This time round, I drew Sephiroth on each the back and front sides of the cardboard. I truly drew them in order that they might be part of up if positioned one on prime of the opposite, so in case you handle to get two of the identical card and line them up, you will see how the unique illustration seemed,” Nomura defined. “There’s additionally a motive that the design for Sephiroth is totally different from the unique recreation, however I sadly cannot share extra about that.”
After all you’ll be able to’t share extra about that, Nomura! When are you able to! Why even convey it up within the first place? I doubt most individuals would have even seen, and now you are going to be fueling fan theories for the subsequent two years. In case you do not know what Safer Sephiroth seemed like within the authentic Closing Fantasy 7, his proper arm was only a wing. On this new artwork, he has each arms and that wing.
What may this imply? Perhaps it is to maintain Cloud and co out of arm’s manner (sorry)? Principally, I’ve no clue, I am simply fairly tickled by the truth that Nomura appears to get a kick out of dropping feedback like these. Anyway, I am off to promote a few organs to have the ability to afford just a few booster containers of this set as a result of I do truly need that Sephiroth card!
