TCG Chapter III

This is a list of all Chapter III cards in the Final Fantasy Trading Card Game, released on September 2011. The chapter includes 106 regular cards - 4 in Dark and Light, 17 in Fire and Ice and 16 in each of the other elements - and 106 premium cards.

Each booster pack of Chapter III includes 8 cards. Released with the same time with the series were also two entry packs of 50 cards each, the Fire and Ice ones. Each of these included a card not available otherwise, those of 3-007 Zack and 3-028 Sephiroth regular versions. Note that the premium versions can be found in booster packs.

Note that in the lists below, translated names have been used for the cards and their jobs. This is not a reliable indication of which cards bear the same name (and thus can't be on the field in the same time and other such rule-related limitations), as many English-name jobs come from two or more different Japanese-name jobs and vice versa. Be sure to check the original Japanese name of the card for that.
The footnotes are from the card FAQs at the official site.

Footnotes

1. Any Forwards you play after Bard will not receive the effect.

2. Zack's power is not dependent on the number of SOLDIERs on the field at the time he's played to the field, but at the current number of SOLDIERs.

3. If you're already in control of a Cloud, you cannot play another Cloud to the field through this ability.

4. If your opponent has no Forwards you must choose one of your own. If Zack is the only Forward Zack must be chosen. Whether you choose to deal the damage or not is up to you.

5. You can choose up to two, meaning you can also choose one Forward instead.

6. Discarding cards from your hands is the basis of this ability, but it is not a CP cost. You must discard cards for this ability to activate.

7. This applies to all Forwards.

8. You can choose up to two, meaning you can also choose one Forward instead.

9. If your opponent doesn't have any Forwards you must choose one of your own. If there is no other Forwards than Imitation Liegeman, you must choose Imitation Liegeman.

10. When another ability affects the damage dealt as well, you can choose freely in which order these are calculated. For example if 3-012 Palom attacks Rosso, you can either first add 1,000 to the damage dealt and then halve it, or first halve the damage and then add the 1,000.

11. This applies to your own Forwards as well.

12. If your opponent doesn't have any Forwards, you must choose one of your own.

13. You can choose up to two, meaning you can also choose one Forward instead.

14. The chosen Forward cannot become Active on its controller's next Active Phase even if Genesis is removed from the field.

15. The ability is treated as one action, you cannot interrupt only the act of returning the Forward to the field, interruption must be made at the start of the ability if it is done at all. The Forward that is returned to the field is treated as a new card, not the same one that left the field.

16. The chosen Forward cannot become Active on its controller's next Active Phase even if Nero is removed from the field.

22. If the Forward isn't moved to the Break Zone due to an ability (such as of 1-145 Yuna), your opponent cannot play a Forward to the field due to this ability.

23. As long as Yang was present when the ability's CP cost was paid for, the ability will activate even if Yang is removed from the field due to interruption.

26. Galuf becomes broken directly after entering the next Main Phase. It cannot be interrupted in any way.

27. You can choose up to two, meaning you can also choose one Forward instead.

28. This ability can be used even if your Break Zone has no suitable Forwards.

29. Should you choose Light or Dark element and you have more than one Forward all of your Forwards get Broken due to the field not being able to support that many Forwards of those elements. This cannot be prevented or interrupted in any way other than having the likes of 1-154 Cosmos or 1-158 Chaos already on your field.

30. If Berserker is capable of attacking but hasn't done so yet, your Attack Phase cannot end.

31. This ability requires you to have only Sky Pirates and Pirates under your control. Even if, for example, one is a Pirate and the rest Sky Pirates, this ability activates.

32. This auto-ability activates after the damage has been dealt. If Azul receives damage more than his own power he gets Broken and the ability doesn't activate.

33. If you already have 5 Backups on the field, this ability doesn't allow you to play an extra one.

34. Your opponent can choose the same number as you did. Between you choosing your number and your opponent doing so, nothing can interrupt the ability.

35. If due to some ability you play a Kain and Mysterious Man to the field at the same, time, you must Break one of them immediately. Nothing can interrupt this process.

36. If the Forward's power becomes less than 0, move it immediately to the Break Zone. This doesn't count as Breaking it.

37. If your opponent has no Forwards you must choose one of your own. If Mystic Knight is the only Forward he must be chosen. Whether you choose to deal the damage or not is up to you.

38. No matter how many Sky Pirates you control, you can only draw one card.

43. If due to some ability you play a Golbez and Man in Black to the field at the same, time, you must Break one of them immediately. Nothing can interrupt this process.

44. It is not only due to Ceodore's Link, but any Link activates this ability.

45. If a Chaos is on the field Desperado Chaos cannot be played. If Desperado Chaos is on the field Chaos cannot be played. If due to some ability you play a Desperado Chaos and Chaos to the field at the same, time, you must Break one of them immediately. Nothing can interrupt this process.
