The Tapis Absolute Virtue Final Fantasy by Ultra Pro places one of the most feared creatures in the saga beneath your cards: Absolute Virtue, the legendary superboss of Final Fantasy XI. An official playmat-format playing surface, it gives you a wide, comfortable and stable battlefield for your games while turning your table into a genuine showcase dedicated to one of the franchise's myths.
🎴 An official Ultra Pro playmat
Made by Ultra Pro, the world reference for licensed gaming accessories, this playmat extends the collaboration between Wizards of the Coast and Square Enix at the heart of the Magic: The Gathering — Final Fantasy set. You get the brand's signature build here: a smooth fabric top that lets cards glide and makes them easy to read, set on a non-slip rubber base that keeps the mat perfectly in place for the entire length of a game. The generous format of roughly 61 × 34 cm (24 × 13.5 inches) easily holds your library, graveyard, exile and combat zone.
⚔️ Absolute Virtue, the boss that marked players
The artwork is dominated by Absolute Virtue, the Aern-family Notorious Monster fought in the depths of Al'Taieu during the Chains of Promathia expansion. Presented as a superboss at the top of the hierarchy of seven creatures inspired by the deadly sins, it became famous for holding off the most seasoned linkshells through dozens of hours of combat. Toni Infante delivers a striking vision of it: a dark, imposing silhouette, a menacing Dragoon posture and an almost cosmic energy that recalls the weight of this opponent, now part of the MMORPG's legend. A scene that speaks instantly to the veterans of Vana'diel.
🛡️ Comfort and protection in every game
For the player, this playmat changes daily life at the table. The soft fabric protects the edges and backs of your cards from micro-scratches and friction against a hard surface, which matters all the more when you handle valuable sleeved cards. The non-slip base prevents the battlefield from shifting at the slightest movement, so you can draw, attack and organise your zones without anything moving. The woven surface is also easier on the eye under table lighting than wood or plastic, and slightly cushions the contact when you set down your cards. Perfect for your Commander nights, your in-store games or your tournaments, it unrolls and packs away in seconds, and effortlessly accompanies your longest Magic sessions.
🐉 A Final Fantasy collector's piece
Beyond gameplay, this playmat is a full decorative piece for Final Fantasy fans. Placed on a desk, it also doubles as a large mouse pad and dresses up the space with exclusive artwork you cannot find on a simple card. Collectors will see it as an object that fits perfectly with their Magic: The Gathering — Final Fantasy set, to display alongside their finest finds or to protect rolled up in a tube. As Absolute Virtue is not the most expected character, its playmat becomes a sought-after nod for those who truly know the series' history, a detail that sets an ordinary battlefield apart from a real statement of fandom.
✨ Who is this playmat for?
This playmat is aimed both at players who want a comfortable, protective battlefield for their decks, and at collectors and Final Fantasy fans looking for an exceptional object. It is the ideal companion as you explore the set: open your boosters with the Final Fantasy display, launch your multiplayer games with the Counter Blitz Commander deck, and browse all the cards in the Final Fantasy expansion. For all the technical specifications, see the official Ultra Pro page.
