Why Is Queen’s Blood So Popular?
An Evolution Of A Final Fantasy Classic
Card games have a long and storied legacy in theFinal Fantasyfranchise, dating all the way back to theeighth installment which introduced Triple Triad. While its implementation was clunky and easily abused thanks to a mechanic that allowed cards to be transformed into items, its addictive gameplay and collection-based growth made it an instant success.It proved so popular that Square evolved Triple Triad into Tetra Master forFinal Fantasy 9, a version that was similarly fun but didn’t gain the following of its predecessor.
Queen’s Blood proved to be an instant classic inFinal Fantasy 7: Rebirthbecause it feels like an actual spiritual successor to Triple Triad. The games are very similar,focusing on tactical positioning and resource managementto outmaneuver an opponent.Expanding on the minigamewith even more cards, unique rules, and rewards could further incentivize players to learn and enjoy Queen’s Blood.
Queen’s Blood proved so popular that many fans lobbied to have it released as a standalone title.There’s certainly precedent for such a move given Gwent’s popularity inThe Witcher 3leading to its subsequent spinoff, but Square Enix has yet to announce any such plans. One can only hope that the next chapter in theFinal Fantasy 7 Remake Trilogydelivers an even better version of the minigame.
