Final Fantasy Awakening
playing game (RPG),[15] with a battle system designed to emulate the cinematic battles seen in the film
Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children.[16]
Final Fantasy XIII-2, a direct sequel to XIII, was released in December 2011 in Japan, and in January and February, 2012 in North America and
Europe respectively for PS3 and 360.[17] It received downloadable content (DLC) expansions during 2012,[18][19] and a Windows port in 2014.[20] In
response to criticism the company received from critics and fans about XIII's linear structure, XIII-2 was designed to be a more traditional role-
playing game, with explorable towns, a nonlinear story structure, mini-games, and other traditional features.[8]
Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII, a sequel to XIII and XIII-2, was released in November 2013 in Japan, and February 2014 in North America
and Europe for PS3 and 360.[21] A Windows port was released in 2015.[22] It concludes both the narrative of the main character Lightning and the
Final Fantasy XIII story arc.[9] Lightning Returns blends several traditional role-playing features, such as shops, quests and an explorable open
world, with an action-oriented combat system.[23]
Final Fantasy Type-0 (originally titled Final Fantasy Agito XIII) was released in October 2011 in Japan for the PlayStation Portable.[7] A high-definition
remaster for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, Final Fantasy Type-0 HD, was released worldwide in March 2015.[24] The original game is a real-time action
RPG, featuring combat similar to Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII, and a multiplayer option where online players can take control of characters during the
majority of the game.[25][26] Type-0 HD features updated graphics and changes to the gameplay, such as lower difficulty and the removal of
multiplayer.[27][28]
Final Fantasy Agito, a companion title set in Type-0's world,[3] was released in May 2014 in Japan on Android and iOS devices. Service ended in
November 2015.[29][30] Ports for the PlayStation Vita and Microsoft Windows were also in development, but have since been canceled.[31][32] Agito
was an episodic game featuring single-player and multi-player modes, and a social system where the player's standing with non-playable
characters advances their rank in-game.[33]
Final Fantasy Awakening, a replacement for Agito, was released in December 2016 in China, and in February 2018 in North America for Android
and iOS.[34][35] The gameplay features cooperative multiplayer similar to the original multiplayer elements of Type-0, along with hack-and-slash
gameplay.[11][34] All versions have closed down as of 2020.[36][37]
Final Fantasy XV (originally known as Final Fantasy Versus XIII), the fifteenth core Final Fantasy title, was announced in the same year as XIII and
Type-0, and was released worldwide on November 29, 2016 for PS4 and Xbox One.[10][38] It was later ported to Windows and the Google Stadia
platform.[39][40] The game is an action role-playing game with a battle system similar to those from the Kingdom Hearts series and Type-0. The game
uses open world exploration using both a vehicle and chocobos, along with a camping mechanic linked to gaining experience levels.[41][42] Its
development cycle, beginning in 2006, lasted ten years.[43] The game was supported by DLC between 2016 and 2019.[44][45]

Final Fantasy XIII and its sequels have a strong connection to the mythos, making extensive use of its terminology and involving many of its deities.[46][47]
The universe of Final Fantasy Type-0 used the terminology and made minor reference to the mythos while focusing on the human side of events, although
these references were added during later story development.[46][48][49] While the mythos is still present in Final Fantasy XV, it was "disconnected" from the
core framework, with specific terminology being removed and its emphasis reduced to become a background element for the world and story.[50][51][e][52][53]
[54]

Themes [ edit ]

The universes of Final Fantasy XIII, Type-0 and Final Fantasy XV are unrelated to each other, though common elements and themes are present.[55] The
first is a common narrative theme of harmful interference by the mythos' deities in the affairs of humans, and those humans' choice of whether to accept or
challenge the predetermined fates given to them.[56][57][58][59] Tetsuya Nomura defined this theme as "a battle of the gods that lies behind each tale and
gives it inspiration in a different way".[60] Hajime Tabata later defined the theme as a tale of humans placing their lives at risk after being chosen by the
crystal.[59] The second common element is the structure of the Fabula Nova Crystallis universe, which is divided in two: the mortal world, where humans
live, and the afterlife or Unseen Realm (不可視世界, Fukashi sekai, lit. "Invisible World").[61] A recurring theme is subverting the series' traditional view of
crystals, making them objects that brought both prosperity and tragedy by their influence.[62]

A common element not related to the mythos, themes or plots of the series is the use of Latin in the games' titles or worlds, often as key words to
describing themes and story points. The series' title Fabula Nova Crystallis is translated by Square Enix as "The New Tale of the Crystal",[5][d] Agito roughly
translates as "to put into motion",[63] while Versus translates as both "to turn around" and "against". All these Latin terms were described as representing
key narrative concepts.[64] The Agito term was kept in Final Fantasy Type-0 as both an in-universe concept and the title of its prequel.[46][65] Versus was
used in early trailers for Final Fantasy XV after its re-reveal in 2013, carrying the tagline A World of the Versus Epic.[66] Commenting on the extensive use
of Latin in Final Fantasy XV prior to its public name change, Nomura said he wanted a language that was no longer used on a daily basis and that people
"won't be able to understand and yet appreciate", desiring a sense of general equality.[67]

Mythology [ edit ]

In the mythology, the god Bhunivelze (ブーニベルゼ, Būniberuze) seizes control of the mortal world by killing his mother, the creator goddess Mwynn (ム
イン, Muin), who vanishes into the Unseen Realm. Believing that the mortality of the world is Mwynn's curse, Bhunivelze creates three new deities to
search for the gate to the Unseen Realm so he can control both worlds. The first deity, Pulse (パルス, Parusu), is tasked with terraforming the world; the
second deity, Etro (エトロ, Etoro), is discarded because of her resemblance to Mwynn; the third deity, Lindzei (リンゼ, Rinze), acts as his protector.
Bhunivelze then enters a deep sleep, while Lindzei and Pulse carry out their missions. Distraught at being abandoned, Etro kills herself, and humans are
born from her blood. Once in the Unseen Realm, Etro finds Mwynn being consumed by a force called chaos, which threatens to destroy reality. As Mwynn
fades, she tasks Etro with protecting the balance between the worlds. Etro gives humans pieces of chaos that become their "hearts". Because humans
held chaos within them, they maintained the balance through their death and reincarnation. Since then, humans have either worshiped or feared Pulse and
Lindzei, and refer to Etro as the goddess of death.[61] The mythos' deities hold similar roles in each game's setting, but are not the same characters in a
narrative sense.[55]

A recurring race in the games are god-like beings created by Pulse and Lindzei to act as their servants in the mortal world. In the original mythos and the
XIII games, the demigods are called fal'Cie /fælˈsiː/. They take the form of crystal-powered mechanical beings in the XIII games.[68] In the universe of Type-
0, they are both semi-sentient crystals and humanoid beings living among the people.[69] The fal'Cie have the ability to imbue chosen humans with magical
powers and assign them a task to complete either willingly or unwillingly. Final Fantasy XIII and Type-0 refer to these people as l'Cie /ləˈsiː/ and the task
given to them as a Focus. In XIII, there are two possible outcomes for l'Cie: once their Focus is fulfilled, they can go into 'crystal stasis', transforming into a
crystal statue, and gain eternal life, but if they fail they become mindless crystalline monsters called Cie'th (シ骸, Shi-gai ).[70] In Type-0, l'Cie are chosen
by the crystal of their country, and given great power to fulfill their assigned Focus, but lose their memories if emotionally unstable.[48][71] While not referred
to as such using the original terminology, humans imbued with magic and burdened with a task exist in Final Fantasy XV, one of them being the main
protagonist Noctis.[50][59][72]

Production [ edit ]

Creation [ edit ]

The concept for the Fabula Nova Crystallis series originated during late development on Final Fantasy X-2 and the original Kingdom Hearts. Discussing
what to do once Final Fantasy XII was completed, Nomura, Shinji Hashimoto and Yoshinori Kitase decided to build upon the idea of multiple games
connected by a single "central theme".[73] Scenario writer Kazushige Nojima started writing the original mythology for the Fabula Nova Crystallis series in
2003, finishing it by February 2004.[74] Nojima described his creation as the result of a wish to create something entirely new; a universe with its own
mythos and legends. When he introduced the concept to other team members, they liked it and helped it grow. As with some of his other projects, Nojima
incorporated themes of mythology due to his liking for and extensive research of Greek and Norse mythology.[75] During his work, he received creative
input from Kitase and Hashimoto, as well as Nomura, Tabata and Motomu Toriyama.[64] Nojima wrote a series bible about the mythology, explaining
concepts such as the fal'Cie and l'Cie and the feelings of the deities who created them.[1][74] This bible became the basis for a video animated by Yusuke
Naora's art team to showcase the mythos in 2011.[1] None of the deities were depicted in human form in the video, as this would have undermined the
developers' wishes for open interpretation by developers and players.[1]

The central concept for Fabula Nova Crystallis came from the Compilation of Final Fantasy VII, a multimedia subseries featuring the world and characters
of Final Fantasy VII. Whereas the common link in the Compilation was Final Fantasy VII, the team chose to use "the tale of new crystals" for the new
series, with the mythos connecting the games rather than an overarching narrative.[73] Another key idea behind the mythos was to ease the production of
future Final Fantasy games by providing an established universe.[76] The individual directors are allowed to freely interpret the base mythology when they
create their games.[12][76] When referring to this freedom, Tabata has compared the mythos and the concept behind it to Greek mythology; a mythos with
common themes and deities, but featuring many unrelated stories.[46][76]

Toriyama based the story of Final Fantasy XIII around the mythos' deities and their direct relations to the world.[46][74] Tabata and Nomura both focused on
the human side of the story.[46][60][77] Tabata chose to portray the divine elements from a historical standpoint in Type-0.[46][78] Nomura created a modern-
day setting similar to contemporary Earth in Final Fantasy XV, referring far less to the mythos' terminology.[64][79] Nomura was also appointed as the main
character designer for all entries in the subseries.[60] In a 2007 interview, Hashimoto compared the planning of the Fabula Nova Crystallis series to film
franchises such as Star Wars and The Lord of the Rings: an expansive brand on which to build multiple Final Fantasy titles planned in advance.[80] The
development of all games connected to the mythos was handled by Square Enix 1st Production Department.[81] A trademark for Final Fantasy Haeresis
XIII hinted at another entry, but the trademark expired in 2011 and the company did not renew.[82]

Development [ edit ]

Final Fantasy XIII began development in February 2004.[74] It began as a title for the PlayStation 2 under the codename "Colors World",[83] but was moved
onto PlayStation 3 after the positively received Crystal Tools engine demo in 2005 and the delayed release of Final Fantasy XII.[84][85][86] The original titles
in the series were Final Fantasy XIII and Versus XIII. Agito XIII was created later, when Tabata was looking for a new project after finishing Before Crisis:
Final Fantasy VII.[64] Originally titled Fabula Nova Crystallis Final Fantasy XIII, the project and original three titles were announced at E3 2006.[87] Final
Fantasy XIII and Versus XIII were intended to form the core of the series, with future games being a "facet" of XIII.[5] Agito XIII and Versus XIII both began
production in 2006.[87] The subseries' title changed in 2011 when the "XIII" numeral was dropped as it "would have been an issue" following the rebranding
of Agito XIII to Type-0.[1]

XIII was developed by team members who had worked on Final Fantasy VII, VIII, X and X-2.[88][89] It was first announced as a PS3 exclusive.[87] Late in its
development, Final Fantasy XIII changed from being a console exclusive when an Xbox 360 version was announced, significantly delaying its release.[90]
After the release of Final Fantasy XIII, the creators wanted to expand on the game's setting and tell more stories about the characters, so XIII-2 and
Lightning Returns were developed.[91] For these games, Japanese developer tri-Ace was brought in to help with the games' design and graphics.[2][92] The
three games and their respective tie-in media were referred to as the "Lightning Saga" by Square Enix staff after the games' central character.[93][94] A port
for Microsoft Windows was considered, but not followed up due to platform-specific concerns and the company's view of the video game market.[95] Later,
Final Fantasy XIII and its sequels would receive PC ports through Steam.[14] While there was speculation that Fabula Nova Crystallis would end with
Lightning Returns, Kitase repeatedly said there was still room for further titles beyond the XIII universe.[91][96]

Agito XIII was handled by staff from Before Crisis.[97] The game was originally being developed as an episodic mobile game.[87] By 2008, Agito XIII had
been moved onto the PlayStation Portable, then later renamed Final Fantasy Type-0. The stated reason for the change of title was that Final Fantasy XIII
and Type-0 shared little besides the core mythos.[1][98][99] Type-0's western release was delayed due to the flagging PSP market in western territories. A
high-definition port to the same platforms as Final Fantasy XV was co-developed by Square Enix and HexaDrive, and was eventually announced for a
western release.[28][100] Tabata created Agito around his original ideas for Type-0 as a mobile title. Agito acted both as a prequel to Type-0 and as an
alternate story set within its world.[46][101] The game was co-developed by mobile game developer Tayutau K. K.[3] Later, Chinese developer Perfect World
were brought in to develop Awakening; it was the first Final Fantasy title licensed by Square Enix to an external company.[34][102] The English version of
Awakening closed in 2019 due to server changes,[36] while the game as a whole was shut down in 2020 with the expiry of the licensing deal.[37][103]

Versus XIII's development was headed by the team behind the console Kingdom Hearts games.[104] Like XIII, the game was a PS3 exclusive.[87] As early
as 2007, Square Enix considered re-branding Versus XIII as a numbered entry in the main series due to the rapidly growing scale of the project.[105] The
game was eventually re-branded in 2011 as Final Fantasy XV.[106][107][108] As part of its later marketing, XV was deliberately distanced from the Fabula
Nova Crystallis brand to remove the consequent limitation on their target audience, although lore and design elements were retained.[50][52][54] The game
was also moved fully onto eighth generation consoles and developed using the company's new Luminous Studio engine. The PS3 version was abandoned
due to concerns about the console's continued viability.[42][108] Final Fantasy XV eventually had help from multiple developers, including HexaDrive, XPEC
Entertainment and Umbra.[4][51][109] In contrast to Final Fantasy XIII, Tabata decided against creating any sequels to XV, instead expanding the base game
through DLC.[110][111] The first season of DLC was well received, so a second season was commissioned.[44] All but one of these later DLC episodes were
canceled in 2018 following the decision by the team to focus on a new intellectual property.[112]

Related media [ edit ]

The games have been complemented and expanded upon through other media. For Final Fantasy XIII, a small book of short stories titled Final Fantasy
XIII – Episode Zero was released, first through the game's website and then as a print release in December 2009. It shows events prior to the game's
opening.[113][114] A second novella, Episode i, was published via XIII-2's official website, bridging the narrative gap between XIII and XIII-2.[115] Alongside
XIII-2's Japanese release, a book detailing events not shown or described in the game titled Fragments Before was released in December 2011 including
Episode i;[116] this would be followed up by Fragments After, released in June 2012.[117] Only Episode i has received an official English release.[118]
Lightning Returns was also set to receive a prequel novel by Benny Matsuyama alongside the game's Japanese release in November 2013,[119] but was
later canceled due to the author falling ill.[120] A three-part novella exclusive to Famitsu Weekly magazine titled Final Fantasy XIII Reminiscence: tracer of
memories was released across June and July 2014. It was written by Daisuke Watanabe, who handled the scripts for the XIII games, and takes place
immediately after the ending of Lightning Returns.[121] Reminiscence was later released online.[122]

Final Fantasy Type-0 received a manga adaptation illustrated by Takatoshi Shiozawa. It began publication in the November 2011 of Young Gangan and
was collected into a single volume and released in April 2012.[123][124] The manga was translated into English and released as part of the western
collector's edition for Type-0 HD, available exclusively through Square Enix's online store.[125] A second manga following one of the game's secondary
characters, Final Fantasy Type-0 Side Story: Reaper of the Icy Blade,[f] began serialization in May 2012. The latter manga was created by Shiozawa under
Nomura's supervision.[126] The manga ended in January 2014, with a bonus chapter released in February of the same year.[127][128] It was released in the
west in July 2015, licensed by Yen Press.[129] Two novels detailing an alternate version of Type-0, titled Final Fantasy Type-0: Change the World,[g] were
released in April and June 2012.[130][131] Agito received another Change the World novel adaptation focusing on two of the game's supporting characters.
[132]
Ultimania guides and companion books have been released for the majority of released games.[133]

Final Fantasy XV similarly had additional media released around it, forming a dedicated multimedia expansion dubbed the "Final Fantasy XV Universe".
The majority of its content fleshed out the background for Final Fantasy XV's plot, which would have required multiple video games under normal
circumstances.[110][134] While comparing the XV Universe to the overall structure of Fabula Nova Crystallis, the game's director defined it as an attempt to
make the narrative of XV work in current times rather than attempting to "reinvent" the original concept.[135] An anime produced by Square Enix and A-1
Pictures, Brotherhood: Final Fantasy XV, details the backstories of the main cast and how they came to be journeying together. It was distributed online in
the months leading up to the game's release.[136][137] A CGI feature film produced by the same team as Advent Children, Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV,
was released in July 2016 in Japan and in August in America; it focuses on the main character's father Regis Lucis Caelum, alongside original characters.
[137][138][139]
The canceled DLC was turned into the novel Final Fantasy XV: The Dawn of the Future.[140][141]

Reception [ edit ]

The Fabula Nova Crystallis mythos has received mixed reactions from gaming sites. Hardcore Gamer's Brady Hale called the series "anything but
ordinary" in the variety of games it featured.[142] In an article concerning the 25th Anniversary event for the Final Fantasy series, Joystiq's Ben Gilbert
called the Fabula Nova Crystallis mythos "occasionally bizarre and often beautiful".[143] In 2014, Jeremy Parish of USGamer said the series was "much ado
about nothing", stating that since the games shared a large amount of themes and plot points with the main series, there seemed little reason for a
distinction.[86] TechnoBuffalo's Ron Duwell, in an article concerning a documentary video on Final Fantasy XV, called the series "overly ambitious", but felt
that it was worth Fabula Nova Crystallis "[imploding] upon itself" if Final Fantasy XV fulfilled its promises.[144] Kat Bailey, writing for USGamer as part of her
review for Final Fantasy XV, said that series fans were ready for the subseries to come to an end with the game's release.[145] RPG Site's Chelsi Laire
called the subseries "a series of successes and failures, but mostly the latter" due to its troubled development, but hoped that the company would revisit
the brand in the future.[62]

Speaking about the XIII games in particular, Parish suggested that their mixed reactions influenced the title changes of other games in the original series,
giving the teams a chance to give those games more of their own identity. He also felt that the decision to expand the XIII storyline into multiple games
"probably worked out just as well".[86] The presentation of the mythos and its terms received mixed reactions in XIII, resulting in the production team toning
down their use for XIII-2.[146] Siliconera writer Spencer Yip, in his review of Lightning Returns, commented that the story and pace of the game was
"muddled" by the mythos.[147] In 2016, RPGFan writer Mike Salbato wrote a retrospective of the Final Fantasy XIII games and their version of Fabula Nova
Crystallis: he felt that the lack of specific references to the mythos in XIII had harmed general comprehension, and that a reliance on foreknowledge made
its sequels difficult to play as standalone titles.[148] In contrast, the portrayal of the mythos in Type-0 was praised by RPG Site's Erren Van Duine in an
import review of the title, with him saying that "elements such as l'Cie and fal'Cie are handled in much more interesting ways".[149] When commenting on
the lore of Final Fantasy XV, Andrew Reiner of Game Informer praised the story for sticking to basics and avoiding "[overwhelming] the player with lore or
branching threads, something Final Fantasy XIII struggled with".[150]

Individual titles [ edit ]

Final Fantasy XIII was positively received in Japanese magazines, garnering exceptionally high Aggregate review scores
scores from both Famitsu and Dengeki PlayStation.[166][167] In the west, the game was praised Game Metacritic
for its graphics, battle system, and music,[168][169][170] but opinions were mixed about its story (PS3) 83/100[151]
and it was criticized for its highly linear structure.[171][172] XIII also won an award for best graphics Final Fantasy XIII (X360) 82/100[152]
in GamesRadar's 2012 Platinum Trophy Awards.[173] XIII-2 received a positive reception overall, (PC) 65/100[153]
gaining perfect scores from Famitsu and Dengeki PlayStation,[174][175] and high scores from most (PS4) 72/100[154]
western sites. Common points of praise were its non-linear nature, improved battle system and Final Fantasy Type-0 (XONE) 72/100[155]
graphics,[176][177][178] while the main points of criticism were its story and characters, which were (PC) 69/100[156]
often called weak, confusing or both.[179][180] Lightning Returns received mixed reviews, with its (PS3) 79/100[157]
combat being highly praised,[181][182][183] its graphics and time limit mechanic drawing mixed Final Fantasy XIII-2 (X360) 79/100[158]
responses,[184] and the story and characters being cited as poorly developed.[185][186] (PC) 75/100[159]
Type-0 had a highly positive reception in Japan, with it garnering near-perfect scores in Famitsu (PS3) 66/100[160]
and Dengeki PlayStation.[187][188] Import reviews were also fairly positive, sharing many points of Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII (X360) 69/100[161]
praise with the Japanese reviews.[149][189] Type-0 HD also received a positive reception in the (PC) 66/100[162]
west, with main praise going to the story, characters and action-based gameplay. Other aspects Final Fantasy Agito N/A
came in for criticism, such as elements of the graphics upgrade, the real-time strategy segments, (PS4) 81/100[163]
and the localization.[190][191][192][193][194] Western previews of Agito have also been positive, with Final Fantasy XV (XONE) 83/100[164]
critics agreeing that it looked good on the platform and worked well from a gameplay (PC) 85/100[165]
standpoint.[33][195] Final Fantasy XV was positively received by many journalists; praise went to Final Fantasy Awakening N/A
aspects of the story, the main characters, battle system and graphics, while the overarching plot,
supporting cast and other technical elements such as the camera and late-game changes in gameplay were criticized.[150][196][197][198][199][200][201][202]

Sales [ edit ]

Final Fantasy XIII broke sales records for the Final Fantasy franchise,[203] selling 1.5 million units in Japan on its release day,[204] and a further million a
month after its North American release.[205] XIII-2 was the most purchased title of 2011 in Japan upon release, and reached second and first place in sales
charts in the United States and United Kingdom respectively.[206][207][208] Lightning Returns had lower first-week sales than its predecessors, but still
topped the sales charts in Japan, selling over 277,000 units in its first week and over 404,000 copies by the end of 2013.[209][210] It ranked as third and
eighth in the UK and US February sales charts respectively.[211][212] Approximately 800,000 copies were sold by as of November 2014.[86] The three XIII
games have collectively sold 11 million units worldwide.[213] Speaking of the decreasing success of the XIII games and their effect on the Fabula Nova
Crystallis series on USGamer, Parish felt that the initial backlash received by XIII had turned the "XIII" moniker into "box office poison".[86]

Type-0 sold over 472,000 units in its first week,[214] and went on to sell over 740,000 units in Japan.[215] The title was also added to the company's list of
Ultimate Hits, re-releases of lucrative titles.[216] Type-0 HD reached the top of the sales charts in its debut week, selling 93,000 units, though it ultimately
performed poorly in Japan.[217][218] It was among the ten top-selling games in March for the UK and US.[219][220] By April, Type-0 HD had shipped over one
million copies worldwide.[221] Agito was highly successful in Japan, achieving 500,000 registered users within a week of release. By November of the year
of release, the game had received one million downloads.[222][223] Awakening met with commercial success in China, achieving two million downloads
within its month of release.[224] Upon its release, Final Fantasy XV sold five million copies worldwide through retail shipments and digital sales, breaking
sales records for the Final Fantasy franchise.[225] By May 2022, Final Fantasy XV had sold ten million units worldwide across all versions, making it one of
the bestselling Final Fantasy games of all time.[226]

Official response [ edit ]

Speaking in a 2014 feature on the series, Kitase and Toriyama commented that the initial structure and goals of the project had worked against it, causing
the mythos narrative to become unfocused and difficult for players to follow within a single game. In the aftermath, Square Enix decided to move away from
the complex narrative style that had accompanied the mythos, instead focusing on telling more understandable standalone stories.[86] Tabata described the
decision to distance Final Fantasy XV from the mythos brand as a complicated but necessary one.[54]

Notes [ edit ]

a. ^ In the interview, Yoshinori Kitase does not say which deity the logo depicts, instead suggesting people speculate on its identity.[1]
b. ^ Additional developers were brought on for some entries, such as Lightning Returns, Final Fantasy Agito and Final Fantasy XV.[2][3][4]
c. ^ Fabura Nova Kurisutarisu Fainaru Fantajī (Japanese: ファブラ ノヴァ クリスタリス ファイナルファンタジー ), translated by Square Enix as "The New
Tale of the Crystal".[5]
d. ^ a b Fabula Nova Crystallis is dog Latin which literally translates to "A New Story for the Crystals": correct Latin would be Fabula Nova Crystalli.
e. ^ Quote from Famitsu:
――ではもうひとつ。神話や神についての設定は、『FFヴェルサスXIII』から『FFXV』への移⾏により変更があるのでしょうか。
⽥畑:『FFXV』にする段階で、そこまでに固まっていた設定については、神話とは強く絡めず『FFXV』の設定として取り込んでいます。ファブラの神話とし
て出てくるものではありませんが、ベースとして活きています。
f. ^ Fainaru Fantajī Reishiki Gaiden Hyouken no Shinigami (ファイナルファンタジー零式外伝 氷剣の死神 )
g. ^ (ファイナルファンタジー零式 Change the World )
