As a fan of Final Fantasy, part of the fun in checking the lists of Magic: The GatheringFinal Fantasy’s Final Fantasy cards are seeing how my favorite games and characters have been adapted to the language and mechanics of the first TCG that I played in my life. I had many questions, especially on Final Fantasy 14 cards. Will Tataru help me generate infinite mana? How many loprit tokens can I put on the field? Something that I certainly did not expect to see was one of the saddest moments Final Fantasy 14 be represented in this collection.
The event in question focuses on Papalymo Totomo. It was a nobleman Lalafell, one of the founding members of the Scons of Seventh Dawn, and a Thaumaturge essay. A name has made itself for itself during A reborn kingdom As a more mature member of the group and a diligent pupil of Laveilleur Louisix.
It is in one of the latest important events of HeavenswardThe first expansion for Final Fantasy 14: A Realm Rebornthat the name Papalymo was sculpted in our memories.
[Ed. note: This article contains spoilers for FF14: Heavensward.]
To prevent a man named Griffin from attacking Baelsar’s wall, Papalymo, together with Yda, Alfinaud and The Warrior of Light (US), do their job and run towards the imminent danger to save the day. What they find is pure chaos, a “massacre” in the words of Yda. The conflict reaches its climax when Griffin dies to evoke a primordial – Final Fantasy 14Equivalent to the famous series of the series, which are creatures similar to God quite powerful to destroy the world.
At this point, I was not considering anything too serious. I was the warrior of light – The Savior of Eorzea. But not this time. I too could not stop the primordial. So, in order to prevent this creature from bringing destruction to the world, Papalymy sacrificed himself to launch the same spell that his master, Louisix, was used to trap Bahamut at the end of Final Fantasy 14 1.0.
I don’t even know where to start explaining how excited this moment for me was. It is the first time that the light warrior is unable to solve things. Let’s see in the last words of Papalymo – “Now let’s see how good I was a student” – his desire to play his role and honor his friends and master. We also have a dramatic version of A reborn kingdomThe thematic song “Answers” playing in the background, but only the texts, almost like a prayer.
Now, when you bring the Final Fantasy 14 universe al Magic: The Gathering Cards, the team behind the project did not forget my favorite Scion. The Papalymo Totomo is coming to MTG as a legendary multicolor wizard. The art on paper directly describes the moment when he raises Tipsimati, the staff of his master, to evoke the spell that comes to life.
This is not, however, the only reference to its noble sacrifice. The Papalymo card has an ability that reads: “Pay 4, tap, sacrifice Papalymo Totomo: every opponent who has lost his life in this turn sacrifices a creature with the greatest power among the creatures they control.” In other words, we can relive that tragic event on the upper part of the Baelsar wall every time we play this card. Although it will enter the field to die, Papalymo will live in the MTG cards.
