Magic: the Gathering Final Fantasy set broke The Lord of the Rings’ record in one day
The news article discusses the success of Magic: The Gathering's Final Fantasy set, which broke the previous record held by The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth set. The Final Fantasy set generated over $200 million in revenue in just one day, while the Lord of the Rings set took six months to reach that amount. This highlights the strong overlap between the Magic: The Gathering and Final Fantasy fan bases, which is seen as a key factor in the set's success. In contrast, the upcoming Marvel's Spider-Man set may face challenges in achieving similar levels of success, as the overlap between Magic players and Spider-Man fans may not be as strong. The article also notes that the Final Fantasy set's success was aided by the franchise's consistent visual style and the involvement of iconic artist Yoshitaka Amano, which may not be as easily replicated for the Spider-Man set.
