#TouchingXV [Final Fantasy XV Trend...?]

Trends can be seen everywhere. Whether it be clothing attires or the newest slangs that makes most people cringe, we can admit that they impact society as a whole.

Today, I have finally participated in the ritual thanks to the persuasion of two friends: Hastag. TouchingXV.

You've got to have all four of them in the picture!

Yes, that is my left hand, folks. I must admit, it's rather difficult to take a picture with the iPhone 6+ using only one hand. My hands are in no shape or form big enough to snap a photo with my thumb without struggling.

Its origin? I honestly have no clue. Why is this even running? What is the main purpose? Who was the first person to set the trend into action? Why is this even a thing?

I... do not know the answer to those questions either. However, I could hypothesis that this is to increase the hype of the upcoming installment in the numbered series of Final Fantasy. Observations will be made and data will be collected in hopes of formulating a solid conclusion to quench my curiosity.

To join the fun (which consist of a mediocre batch of participants), simply hashtag "TouchingXV" on any social media (preferably Twitter or Instagram) with a picture or two of any hand gently (or roughly, but why would you do that to your device's screen, you silly person) on any picture from Final Fantasy XV!
