New details about Stranger of Paradise - Final Fantasy Origin

Slowly but certainly the release of Stranger of Paradise — Final Fantasy Origin approaches. Now there are new details.

Last weekend, a Jubilee Livestream took place for the anniversary of the publication of the first Final Fantasy game. In the course of the broadcast, Publisher Square Enix and Developer Team Ninja also published new details about the Action-RPG Stranger of Paradise — Final Fantasy Origin.

The creators have revealed how Stranger of Paradise laws into the Final Fantasy history. Accordingly, the game includes a newly interpreted post-counting of the first Final Fantasy game and will also be closer to the dark origins of Garland. Serial Creator Yamaguchi, who has long forwarded his own studio, has also expressed itself with Kibosh Away of Square Enix and summarized the connection in more detail.

Garland, which is defeated at the beginning of the story, will be born 2,000 years in the past as chaos, where he continues to be over the darkness, but again defeated by the warriors of light... I have this endless cycle in history Create because it was the first game of the series. And although it is a pixel-art RPG, I thought we could create an authentic entertainment if we give the story several levels. That was the reason for this decision. I think the same goes for the scene, in which players cross the northern bridge and see the title as well as the opening text on the screen.

The story of FF Origin is told by the eyes of Garland. It is quite exciting to see the history of the perspective of the villain. I'm curious what kind of emotional effect the story of the game have this time on the players will.

As far as the fate of Garland is concerned... those who played the original Final Fantasy already know his fate. But I hope the fans appreciate it as he is presented in this title.

So that happened!? I'm close to tears!

These are the emotions I'm looking forward to our players.
