Final Fantasy isn't just a game—it's a gateway to deep conversations about philosophy, religion, grief, and identity. At the University of Alabama, I've built entire classes around titles like Final Fantasy XV, XVI, and VII Rebirth, and I'm sharing how games can transform the college classroom.In this panel from PAX East 2025, we'll explore how story-driven games can boost memory retention, promote empathy, and give students new tools for learning. From teaching through trauma with The Last of Us to exploring theology with Clive Rosfield, this is for educators, gamers, and lifelong learners alike.Topics include: -The science behind "Gamification of the Classroom" -Using modern Final Fantasy games (XV XVI and 7 Remake/Rebirth) to explore history religion and philosophy -Using The Last of Us to examine morality and human behavior Discover how gaming blends storytelling with education to create dynamic learning experiences-- perfect for educators gamers and anyone curious about the intersection of gaming and academia.
The Last of Us Season 2 just ended… and Mama Noctis summed it up best: “Are they all dead?” In this final recap of the season, Prof Noctis and Evan reflect on the biggest risks and missed opportunities of Episode 7—and whether this season finale truly delivered.We talk about: • Why the game's most powerful moment doesn't work on screen (yet) • What the split-season structure sacrifices in narrative tension • Jesse, Dina, and the passing of legacy… or lack thereof • Whether new viewers will ever care about Abby's story • The critical leadership themes hidden beneath the gunfireThis isn't just another recap—it's a serious reflection on the art of storytelling, gaming memory, and what we owe each other as creators and fans.Let us know: Did Season 2 stick the landing for you—or did it leave you frustrated?Subscribe for more deep-dive gaming and story analysis, including our upcoming Final Fantasy X Lecture Play series and content exploring the Final Fantasy x Magic: The Gathering crossover!#TheLastOfUs #Season2Finale #ProfNoctis #Ellie #Abby #HBO -------------------------------------------------New episodes of the ProfNoctis Weekly Show release every Monday! / @profnoctis Check out my Livestream! / profnoctis / profnoctis / profnoctis / profnoctis Join Prof's Classroom discussions: / discord Also connect with us on BlueSky now!Wade/Prof - https://bsky.app/profile/profnoctis.b...Evan - https://bsky.app/profile/whiskerss.bs...______________________________CLASS SUPPLIES and EXTRA CREDITAs an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.Playstation 5 Console: https://amzn.to/46GNBb6The Last of Us: Part 1 for PS5: https://amzn.to/4hf5YIKThe Last of Us: Part 2 for PS5: https://amzn.to/40IJjxjThe Last of Us and Philosophy by Charles Joshua Horn: https://amzn.to/4hDKvsFPsychology and The Last of Us by Anthony Bean: https://amzn.to/4hDOm9i-------------------------------------------------Want to listen to the ProfNoctis Show on-the-go?
