Warning red.pngREAD BEFORE EDITING:
  • Red-linked phrases should not be de-linked or pipe-linked if the phrase is from an official publication. Instead, please start an article or redirect at the link's target.
  • Technical info must be written in accordance with the consensus formats. Adding technical info without using these formats creates extra work for other editors and wastes everyone's time.
  • Trivia will be removed if it fails to meet the notability guidelines.
  • Do not source news to fansite translations of official publications or journals. Instead, source the publication or journal itself.
  • Based on the spelling used by the games, "Grey" is preferred over "Gray".
  • Entelechy is used here per its English definition, and is not meant to imply that it is an official term within the Kingdom Hearts franchise.
  • Do NOT add voice actors to a character's article UNLESS YOU HAVE A CLEAR SOURCE TO SUPPORT IT.

The '''Finest Fantasy 13''' is a joke deck of [[Cards]] available to [[Luxord]] in ''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]''.  
{{nihongo|'''Finest Fantasy 13'''|究極幻想13|Kyūkyoku Gensō 13|lit. "Ultimate Illusion 13"}} is [[Luxord]]'s joke weapon from ''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]''. They are gigantic CDs, depicting the [[Nobody]] insignia and the Roman numeral for thirteen (XIII), a reference to [[Organization XIII]].

A "card" from the Finest Fantasy 13 deck looks like an enormous {{w|Compact Disc|compact disc}}, presumably a game disc. It is predominantly silver and has a white border. The upper half of a black Nobody sigil is present on the right half of the disc, and there is a small, white diamond on the tip on the left spike. There is a black Roman numeral 13 (XIII) on the upper left side.

Finest Fantasy 13 is one of only four of Luxord's weapons whose name is not drawn from one of twenty-two cards that make up a {{w|Tarot}} deck's {{w|Major Arcana}}, the others being [[The Joker]], [[Fair Game]], and [[High Roller's Secret]]. Instead, fitting the "cards'" resemblance to video game discs, its English and Japanese names are plays on the ''{{ff|Final Fantasy}}'' franchise; "Ultimate Illusion" as a play on ''Final Fantasy'' has also been used in ''{{ff|Final Fantasy XII}}'' as a move used by {{ff|Gilgamesh (Final Fantasy XII)|Gilgamesh}}. "Finest Fantasy XIII" and "Ultimate Illusion XIII" are clear references to ''{{ff|Final Fantasy XIII}}'', a ''Final Fantasy'' game released for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 within the same year as ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days''. The name may also be a reference to the compilation, ''{{ff|Finest Fantasy for Advance}}''.

According to Tetsuya Nomura in the ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days Ultimania'', this weapon was originally intended to be named {{nihongo|"Ultimate Delusion 13"|究極妄想13|Kyūkyoku Mōsō 13}}, but the idea was scrapped due to the complaints of the overseas translators.<ref>'''''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days Ultimania]]''''', '''Interviewer''': "By the way, I heard that it was your decision to name Luxord's weapon, 'Ultimate Delusion 13'...?" / '''Tetsuya Nomura''': "Well, the planning staff always send us many different ideas for names, and this time they sent us something like Ultimate Delusion or XIII Delusion, so we just put those together. Since the weapon was just for fun, we figured why not? But then the localization team said, 'If we do a literal translation, it will become Final Fantasy XIII. Is that okay?' I seem to remember saying that might be a bad idea." [https://www.khinsider.com/358-2-days/interviews/kingdom-hearts-358-2-days-ultimania  Translation via Krexia and Lissar].</ref>

==Gameplay==
Finest Fantasy 13's normal ground combo starts with a narrow spray of "cards" forwards and ends with an upward spiral of "cards". The {{button|dsy}} combo can be activated after the first attack, and consists of Luxord performing a spinning leap, surrounded in an upward spiral of "cards", followed by riding a larger version of one the "cards" like a surfboard while performing a forward 360° spinning attack with larger versions of the "cards" held in each hand.
