Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin

[Wol]

Details of Pirate Captain Bikke, Cornelia royal family, Break Gauge, Instant Abilities, more.

Nice, I wonder if the town will be explorable or just another battle dungeon.

After so many years, we finally get a name for Sarah's sister.
Her name is Mia.

Interestingly, Mia Sara is the name of the actress who starred in Legend in 1985.
Where Tom Cruise played the Hero, Jack.
And the villain kinda looks like Chaos.

It's beginning to look like a proper dark fantasy game, but I think I'll never be able to unsee Jack wearing a T-shirt or vibing to Limp Bizkit.

Limp Bizkit just put out a new album fyi

This is the edgiest and most surreal reinterpretation of the first Final Fantasy, and I'm fucking here for it.

Astos not looking like a goddamn gremlin is pretty interesting.

....Sophia is very intriguing. With her, that makes five characters which means, the likelihood that the party becomes the 4 Fiends of Chaos is now even more likely.

She could represent Maliris.

This somehow looks like FF: The Bouncer. This is weird man, but it's good weird.

That’s stupid.

 

[ForceStealer]

These missions won't be available separetely.

Surrrre they won't

 

[Lulcielid]

That said you can get the three missions with the Season Pass, at the moment only bundled with the Digital Deluxe Edition, whenever it's available to purchase.

Game file size on PS5 is approximately 71.505 GB (Without Day One Patch).

Final trailer

This trailer has convinced me lmao

Idk what it convinced me of, but it convinced me of something.

 

[Wol]

If it's not an Isekai then its a big plus in my book.

Edit: ok that trailer worked for me, this feels original.

 

[Odysseus]

My soul wasn't ready for Frank Sinatra and that recreation of the hill scene from FF1. What is this stupid game and why am I excited for it?

 

[Strangelove]

'not an isekai' crying tears of joy rn

the square enix e-store won't let me buy the collector's edition with the script book and i don't know where else is selling it so i guess i will have to find an auction of that book (which is the only thing i really wanted out of the set)

 

[Torrie]

Ngl, when the VO said "chaos", it made me snort, but I'm somehow excited too.
I might even play it on my borrowed PS4 while I still have it.

 

[Ghost X]

If I had the power, I'd fire whoever made that trailer, and probably Daisuke Inoue too .

 

[Makoeyes987]

I seriously loved the fuck out of that trailer.

I'm really fucking curious how this all will come together. We know Jack Garland is...Garland.

So how does this all relate to him being forgotten and promising to "remember?"

Also LMAO at them referencing the motivation for Garland kidnapping Princess Sarah. Apparently his feelings weren't so one-sided after all.

Maybe she did unfortunately forget about him!

This game is fucking weird and stupid in the best way. I'm so on board.


My rough plot predictions (spoilers for a 35-year-old game):

Original (?) Timeline

• 2,000 years in the future, Chaos is on the verge of destroying the world.
• Jack, Jed, Ash, Neon, and Sophia use five crystals to travel back in time to the Kingdom of Cornelia.
• Together they stop the birth of Chaos and become heroes.
• Jack falls in love with Sarah, but something tragic happened that results in her death.
• Grief-stricken, Jack uses the crystals to travel 2,000 years further into the past to change history.

Stranger of Paradise

• The five Warriors of Light fight to save the world.
• In the end, Sarah still dies. They travel back in time to defeat Chaos.
• Jack regains his memories and realizes he can't save Sarah and himself. He becomes Chaos and kills his companions.

Eternal Cycle

• Jack becomes the villain "Garland" and kidnaps Sarah, with his four companions rescuing her.
• Garland returns to the past, becomes Chaos, and kills his companions when they arrive to face him, creating a loop where Sara never dies.
• Many time loops ensue with only minor variations occurring.

Final Fantasy

• The four Warriors of Light travel back 2,000 years in the past and actually overcome fate to defeat Chaos.
• They return to a present day Cornelia where nobody remembers them. Sarah is safe.

True Ending / DLC / Sequel (?)

• They reunite with Jack who is now his true heroic self, the true Warrior of Light. Crystal of Darkness purified?
• They return to their original time to defeat Chaos?
• The cycle is bigger than they realized. Who was the original Chaos?

Something like that, anyway.
