The Duelist No. 21, January 1997ALLISON MCKENZIE'S TERRA PRINT:
FFVI - Terra and Mog PrintIt's a bonus BONUS! Ever since the
Magic: The Gathering Final Fantasy set dropped,
our Discord's hottest channel has been
#ttrpgs-and-card-games. Aidan and Ty decided that if it's all they could talk about, and all our most engaged listeners could talk about, then heck why not interview Magic: The Gathering design lead Gavin Verhey, who was the design lead for the FF set as well?
Then Aidan dropped a bomb on us: A contemporary review of
Final Fantasy VII in Wizards of the Coast's classic Magic mag,
The Duelist!
We not only had an amazing interview with Gavin, we had a great discussion afterwards reacting to everything he said, and discussing all the fun we've been having playing Magic--and in a sense all our favorite Final Fantasy games--at the same time.
