From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

Its the "Ultra pro Premium pro deck binder", they really are the absolute best , the materials are top quality, they fit single sleeve and double sleeved , but they are a fan favourite so you'll have to be quick to get one when they are in stock , cannot recommend this thing enough ! Amazon usually has them but lots of other places do as well
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Amigo-Spiel-Freizeit-84722-Builders/dp/B01DA81HYQ

I store my cards in the binders, 2 opuses fit easily in to one binder, as it fits 480 cards , i use a card separator with a little note on it to distinguish which opus it is , and for all the extras and doubles i get i just sort them and put them into the booster boxes

Hope this helps !

Thanks for all the info and advice. Definitely is very helpful and reassuring!

ToyWiz was actually one of the companies that had me a bit skittish due to a bunch of negative reviews I read of them and nightmare stories of cards being delivered months late and whatnot. And Category one is probably where i'd buy my box from, but I don't think they have the starter decks anymore besides Wave 2.

I managed to snag the last FFVII starter deck from Cfl collectibles and I noticed crunchyroll has the other two for the october preorder. So I think I'm going to snag those two as well, they're a bit high in shipping but I imagine they'd be a legit enough place to order from.

So hopefully this means with any luck I can get the starters at launch and spend the month before wave 2 generating interest in the game! Everyone i've talked to about the mechanics and shown the cards too agrees that it actually sounds like a pretty legit game.

for competite/LGS? on from opus 13+

for casual? i would recommend more starters deck, for example:

https://www.amazon.com/-/es/Fantasy-Custom-Starter-cartas-coleccionables/dp/B09TGBTF7N

https://www.amazon.com/-/es/Final-Fantasy-Square-Enix-Boss/dp/B08MTPDPPQ/

Pick up the latest starter:
https://www.amazon.com/FinaL-Fantasy-VII-Remake-Avalanche/dp/B09JSXNJ6T/

You will get two decks and the rules for $17. Play through a couple hands while reading the rules and you will get it pretty quick.

I made something for me and my friends to mess around with, but it's not perfect. I've never done Python coding before, so it is potentially a little buggy but I do have a working game package for Opus 3.

I don't want to step on anyone's shoes because I know there's a guy here that usually does this stuff, and he's way more knowledgeable about this stuff than I am, but I'll upload the files here if you guys want to mess with it.

EDIT: https://files.fm/u/aabb7qmu#_
Basically, because I have no idea how to package the .exe correctly, you'll have to do the installation manually, meaning that you can't just replace files and have it work right away. It's not hard, but it is slightly annoying. Just make a backup of your OCTGN folder (should be in documents folder), then replace both GameDatabase and ImageDatabase folders with the ones in the link. You'll want to go in the OCTGN folder within the parent OCTGN folder, and find o8buildgui.exe, and run it. Keep the action as "build" and the path should be within OCTGN > GameDatabase > 285a8cdb-1d02-4edd-a9de-1ade9d5a4f43, then click OK. Click "run" and it should build your executable to correctly display the cards in the deck builder and in-game.

Keep in mind if you do this, the only people you should be playing with are people who also are using this particular game package and images. If another Opus 3 package gets released by another person, then it's possible things could get ugly, so I recommend reverting back to the backup folder and using the more "official" release once that comes out.

https://www.amazon.com/Character-Sleeves-Finish-Gathering-Pokemon/dp/B01259DA2I your LGS may have these or be able to get theese, these are what you want.

I happened to be looking for this recently too. Unfortunately you're right - Pokemon booster boxes are smaller (they package two packs wide where FF does three). I wasn't able to find anything outside of having something custom made, which is pretty pricey.

I ended up going with literature mailers believe it or not. I never realized it before but the dimensions of the FFTCG boxes are pretty similar to a book.

9" x 6-1/2" x 2-3/4 is what I went with and its pretty snug. Not as visually appealing as an acrylic case but it adds some protection.

> I'm in AUS

I'm from Chile and the best is amazon, for example

https://www.amazon.com/PRO-MATTE-Protectors-Sleeves-Standard-Colors/dp/B00HT9FGFO/ref=sr_1_10?dchild=1&keywords=600+Ultra+PRO&qid=1617133301&sr=8-10

right now (pandemic) supply is low (hence prices is expensive) i normally buy different colors 600 sleeves for less than 30 usd (+shipping)

GameStop is a failing business, so it is unlikely for them to carry anymore.

So your current best bet is buy from online. It actually cheaper if you buy a whole box as opposed to buying single packs.

Current cheapest now is on Amazon for $69.99 by a third-party seller. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07PT7Z3N5/

If you want to start with a Wind/Water starter deck, Final Fantasy 10 or 12 are both good decks

Final Fantasy 10 Starter Deck (Amazon)

Final Fantasy 12 Starter Deck (Amazon)

I use something similar to the BCW zipfolio. I use the Deck Builder Pro Binder from Ultra Pro. The material used in it is gorgeous and understated. It’s also The Professors (host of Tolarian CC on YouTube) binder of choice.

Naw, he needs a sleeve that covers regular sized sleeves. Like this specifically:

https://www.amazon.com/Barrier-Character-Guard-Sleeves-Piece/dp/B00ZBRHRSA/ref=sr_1_1?s=toys-and-games&ie=UTF8&qid=1512150206&sr=1-1&keywords=kmc+character+guard+sleeves

Basically a clear sleeve that's 69 x 94 mm

As far as I know, there's only a couple other brands that offer these type of sleeves. Like these: https://www.amazon.com/TCG-Sleeve-Guard-Hard-HOBBY/dp/B001VFYNT2/ref=sr_1_1?s=toys-and-games&ie=UTF8&qid=1512150059&sr=1-1&keywords=Hobby+base+sleeves

I actually have one coming in today that I'll check out when I get home form work today.

I just use a 4 or 3 ringed binder and use these

https://www.amazon.com/Ultra-Pro-Pocket-Page-Protectors/dp/B005HIOVOG/ref=sr_1_1?s=industrial&ie=UTF8&qid=1502458540&sr=1-1&keywords=trading+card+folder+inserts

I back to back cards, so you get essentially 6 different cards per insert. I also use the ultra pro soft sleeves when in folder.

I just have them in serial order. 1 folder for Opus 1, 1 folder for Opus 2 etc

I think they're the Dragon Shield Clear card holders:

If you are a player and less of a collector, I have a binder where I put my sleeved (KMC or UltraPro) Foil or Ultra Rare cards since they wont be used and are just for "prestige".

From my Common-normalRares I have a big deckbox with one of those Drybags which will help protecting the cards from moist air.

Here is the Deckbox I use

I mean in the end - you paid money for the cards so why not protecting them from dust and moist air. If like you said I have cards that are common but very commonly used or very good Ill sleeve a playset (3) of them.

I use only 2 Colors, Green and Orange Sleeves, green are all cards I use for decks and for playing so I can quickly build or change a deck without needing to unsleeve and resleeve cards (I mean I have my deck + like 30 other possible deck support cards in those sleeves, no every card) and the orange ones are for cards which have a high value or are for selling or trading.
