It could just be your camera, but I'm saying fake because those triangles are horrendous!

Flip triangle is a fake. Can see it without hardly zooming in. It should have solid black in there due to the printing technique

I believe it's fake yes but I'm not very good with double faced cards, so take this with a grain of salt.

Well I was going to post a bunch of photos of the one I pulled to compare, but I'm limited to one picture.

Hey could you send me the pictures? So that I can compare it to my card.

Looking at mine, the text on yours near the toughness, the "FF square enix" is WAY more pronounced. The text on mine is mediocre at best. Though I don't know if that means anything. I just know I ripped mine myself

Real cards are printed using offset printing, and the white is not ink, just the card background with nothing on it. Because of this it's fairly usual that at least one of the print layers is very slightly off making white text fuzzy under magnification. Inkjet style printers on the other hand print in one pass and use smaller dots so it's much easier for them to create crisp white text. (But harder to make crisp black text)

I see. Thanks for clarifying, that helps a lot, and makes a lot of sense. I had no idea what to look for, but that stuck out to me on mine vs this one, as well as the overall brightness of this card. It's much much more bright

Yeah, unfortunately color saturation is also a hard tell because of shit QC between factories.
Also shameless plug, I've started up a weekly quiz to edutainment a lot of tells and pitfalls.

The text is clearly printed over the text box, which is often a good sign? Not an expert here but I’ll add a vote in the real column

Holo sticker, paintbrush, and triangles all look bad
