To explore this concept, Square Enix invited game developers and fans to share how the franchise affected their lives using the hashtag, #FFLegacies. The Final Fantasy XV: New Legacycampaign culminated into a video that showcased these memories and ideas, while allowing a chosen few to preview the game for themselves and showing their reactions to the camera. This wildly-imaginative (and often confusing) video game franchise has inspired full-length animated films, a concert series and has even been the face of Louis Vuitton-but despite some very clever marketing, nostalgia plays a major role in why fans return again and again. If you have any Final Fantasy fans on your payroll, don’t be too surprised if they call in “sick” this week as they return to the world of Eos for about a million hours of gameplay. But the star of the week, aside from turkey leftovers, is a not-so-little title by Square Enix that has a lot of gamers “fantasizing” about November 29.


Darksiders: Warmastered Edition is also now available, harnessing the power of both a Horseman of the Apocalypse and how nostalgia fuels remastered video games. This week, Ubisoft’s Watch Dogs 2 launches on PC and The Crew gets a Calling All Units expansion.
