futuristic nostalgia

Futuristic nostalgia is the feeling of nostalgia experienced before an event occurs, when a person anticipates a meaningful moment or life phase ending and feels sadness or longing in advance.

Example: Sitting in class before graduation, she was overcome with futuristic nostalgia, already missing the school she had not yet left.

Blinded by Nostalgia

Blinded by nostalgia is typically a term referring to a player in a video game who knows that they enjoyed a certain newer update of a game, but act as if an older update of the game was better, because it was more "nostalgic", even though the update didn't bring really good stuff.

"Season 3 was better than Chapter 2 Season 2"
"You are blinded by nostalgia"
