Omega is no stranger to the Final Fantasy franchise. During Tokyo Game Show 2024, Omega posted a run-in with Final Fantasy composer Nobuo Uematsu. During their encounter, Uematsu playfully made Omega tap out with a cobra twist submission hold.
The Magic: The Gathering x Final Fantasy debut showcase will take place in the main theatre on May 10 between 12:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. It will feature Ben Starr (voice of Final Fantasy XVI's Clive Rosfield) and Magic: The Gathering designer Gavin Verhey. As of press time, PAX East has not announced if there will be a live stream of the showcase.
PAX East will take place between May 8 and May 10 at the Boston Convention & Exhibition Center.
