Square Enix Members can play exclusive Final Fantasy IV card games

It is associated with the new Whytkin character.

Mistwalker apparently likes to blend game types; one style just isn't enough for them when it comes to their DS offerings. We'll keep an eye out for more information on this one, because Mistwalker might just surprise us and turn out the best damned card game ever.
