Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth’s Acclaimed CCG Queen’s Blood Could Get Expanded

It’s a truth universally acknowledged that no great RPG can be complete without a quality collectible card game, and Square Enix brought the heat with Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth and its exceptional Queen’s Blood. The mode has proven a welcome distraction for adventurers working their way through the PS5 console exclusive, and word is there may be more on the way.

Speaking with Red Bull, director Naoki Hamaguchi said that while his team hasn’t “decided anything on future development”, feedback has been very positive and so it wants to “consider further expansions as a possibility”. There are already 145 cards in the game, but we could certainly see some kind of DLC add-on incorporating more.

Obviously, the original Final Fantasy 7 Remake did receive a significant expansion in the form of Intermission, so we suspect if Square Enix has additional content in mind for Rebirth, it’ll consider expanding upon the scope of Queen’s Blood as part of it. But would you be interested in playing more of the collectible card game? Deal your hand in the comments section below.

I love this game. I wish there were more opponents. Probably the best FF card game imo

@Andy22385 I guess some kind of expansions could add more opponents/tournaments/maybe even online play?

I think they could actually expand on it and release it as a standalone game, like Hearthstone. Could be great fun playing it against friends

New opponents is one of my favorite things to look for when I go to a new town or region. But I feel like a lot of its rules are unnecessary and easy to abuse at least up to chapter 7

Most abilities especially the ones that reduce power, or destroy your own card to power up another, are kinda redundant and its mostly a game of who can fill in the board the most first. And if you start with a really good hand, it’s almost impossible to lose. I do wonder how a match against an actual person would go though

They need to fix the poor and inconsistent image quality in Performance Mode first, as that’s holding a lot of people back from buying it on PS5. The game’s director has admitted the issue twice, and yet the first patch did little, if anything, to remedy it.

@jt887 I don’t think devs who improve performance and devs who add new Queen’s Blood opponents are necessarily the same

@Czar_Khastik queen’s blood ain’t got nothing triple triad, such a quality card game, they should make a mini game for it, like withxher did with gwent!

I was a bit sad when I realized I’d beaten all the QB content in the game, so yeah, I’d take more.

Honestly one of the few things i adored in the game. I would play a mobile app qb game

QB is mechanically enjoyable, and if I were to go in wanting that experience instead of the second chapter of the FFVII remake-saga, I´d probably be more taken with it.

Been playing QB every chance I get, pretty awesome. Loved Triple Triad back in the day as well.

QB is really so much fun and each game doesn’t take forever.

I loved Gwent so much I bought a physical version, and would absolutely do the same for Queen’s Blood.

I’m only on Chapter 7 of Rebirth, so perhaps I’m jumping the gun here… but how exactly is this card game acclaimed?

I thought it was executed really badly for the following reasons:

You win a specific card when you beat a player.
you lose nothing if you lose.
you can replay the player an infinite number of times until you win.

Sorry… if someone could tell me a good card game where you ALWAYS win? And this is “acclaimed”? Do me a favour.

The game itself is good. It’s the implementation that fails on every single level.

you buy cards from shops… but hardly ever.
you can’t find rare cards in the wild.
you can’t play anyone you like! It’s literally predefined opponents with predefined rewards.

Acclaimed?! Am I missing something here?!

They built all these huge locations to explore and NOT a single person at SE stopped for a second and thought…

Hrmmm we could hide a rare card here!

Or… we could make this random hiker NPC on Mount Corel give them a game?!

Acclaimed. What a joke. They had something good and they well and truly botched it.

What about adding an item acquisition mechanic?! So I’m not having to go around Morphing enemies for things I need (and my team killing stuff before I get the chance).

Literally anything would make this better!!
