Fabula Nova Crystallis Final Fantasy is a series of games within Square
Enix's Final Fantasy video game franchise. Each game shares a theme of
crystals tied to deities. The series was announced in 2006 and the
flagship Final Fantasy XIII was released in 2009. Developers included
Shinji Hashimoto, Motomu Toriyama (pictured) and Kazushige Nojima. The
central games – Final Fantasy XIII, XV and Type-0 – all suffered
delays. After their releases, their teams used ideas from development to
create additional games with other studios. Final Fantasy XV was
distanced from the series brand for marketing purposes. Seven titles,
the original three projects and multiple sequels or spin-offs, have been
released and complemented by works in related media. Final Fantasy XV
expanded into a multimedia project, spawning a film and a webseries.
Individual games have generally received a positive reception.
