Square Enix has formally unveiled a moogle-themed board game based off of characters from the acclaimed PS2 title Final Fantasy 12. This certainly isn't thebombastic Final Fantasy 12 remake 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.

The last time fans got a chance to return to the land of Ivalice was in Stormblood, the second expansion pack for the hit MMO Final Fantasy 14: A Realm Reborn. That was released back in 2017, so it's been a while since Square Enix properly revisited Final Fantasy 12.

However, as is typical of the Japanese publisher, fans at least have a steady flow of new Final Fantasy-themed merchandise to look forward to. And with Square Enix's latest announcement in particular, it seems like some Final Fantasy 12 fans 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 of adorable moogle artwork. The board game in question, tentatively titled Final 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.
Square Enix didn't provide many specifics on how to play this Final Fantasy Ivalice Alliance-themed board game. However, it did publish images of six cards that will be used in the set. Translated into English, these cards read:
