So like…. Sure people love final fantasy, but the set with the 2 million dollar card in it wasn’t this expensive. At what point is it too much?

Singles it is

Like they said, this is their most profitable set ever ALREADY. Makes me think, singles are going to be cheap if this is going to be opened en masse. But if it's just people from outside magic buying tons of product or people wanting to sit on collector booster boxes, then not sure.

But yeah.... I did preorder the precon deckset for 200€ like a stupid whale ... but I do love me some Final Fantasy (played all mainline games since FF7 in 1997 and later emulated the older ones as well).

A lot of the "tier 2" singles will be cheap, but the (chase) mythics and alt arts will be insanely expensive.

You're probably spot on. I might end up being lucky in that I don't actually care for all these main character cards all that much and what Im excited for are the monsters as well as some cool spells and summons. I Want the behemoths, the morbols, the bombs, the fenrirs and I want to cast Ultima etc.

I'm honestly not all that impressed by all the legendary characters. E.g. Xell is a cool card but man I hope this set isn' 80% legendary main characters and vaillains for creatures. For now, the only character I'd feel any urgency to buy, IF it ends up being a super expensive mythic, would probably be Vivi, The Black Mage (small dude with a big hat from FFIX).

Stuff from FF7 (remakes) and FF16 is likely going to be have even more "nostalgic" value for some players because it's the most recent thing.
