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.
