Square Enix has formally unveiled a moogle-themed board game based off of characters from the acclaimed PS2 titleFinal Fantasy 12. This certainly isn’t thebombasticFinal Fantasy 12remake announcement some fans may have been hoping for. However, it’s at least a nice reminder that Square Enix hasn’t entirely forgotten about the world of Ivalice and the games that take place within it.
Unlike its more popular sibling,Final Fantasy 7, theFinal Fantasy 12subseries has been a bit on the wayside in recent years. The last time fans got a chance to return to the land of Ivalice was inStormblood, the second expansion pack for the hit MMOFinal Fantasy 14: A Realm Reborn. That was released back in 2017, so it’s been a while since Square Enix properly revisitedFinal Fantasy 12. Unfortunately, gamers may still have to wait several more years before they get any new successors to thetimeless PS2 RPG. However, as is typical of the Japanese publisher, fans at least have a steady flow of newFinal Fantasy-themed merchandise to look forward to. And with Square Enix’s latest announcement in particular, it seems like someFinal Fantasy 12fans could be in for a treat.
Square Enix announced that it’s currently creating a newFinal Fantasy 12-themed board game that’ll have no shortage ofadorable moogle artwork. The board game in question, tentatively titledFinal Fantasy: The Six Moogle Siblings’ Mob Hunt, is set to be featured at the upcoming Game Market 2024 Spring event in Tokyo, Japan from April 27-28. A trial session for the board game will be held at the convention, meaning visitors will be able to try the game out for themselves before it gets released to the public.
