Popular Post Abby_TheLastofUs Posted May 24, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 24, 2021 (edited) Quote Square Enix has revealed Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin, coming 2022 for Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, and PS5. The game has a limited-time demo on PS5 right now. Revealed during the Square Enix Presents at E3 2021 and developed by Ninja Gaiden and Nioh studio Team Ninja, there is a PS5 exclusive demo available to play today, which you can download now. The demo will only be available until June 24, 2021 7:59 pm PT, though. The gameplay trailer showed off some souls-like action with the main characters seeking to "kill chaos". A very outlandish goal, if ever there was one. The YouTube trailer description reveals that this main character is called Jack, and his allies are Ash and Jed. The trio throw open the gates to the Chaos Shrine with the plan to defeat Chaos. A prophecy suggests that they could be the Warriors of the Light. In a press release, Final Fantasy veteran Tetsuya Nomura, the game's Creative Producer, said “While it is Final Fantasy, it feels different—but there's no doubt that the blood of Final Fantasy runs through its veins. We've undertaken the challenge of finding this difficult middle ground for this mature and stylish title. We need a little time until we're able to complete it, and while the battle system is a bloody one, it does link to the story, so I hope you'll use this opportunity to give it a try.” Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin leaked last month, with reports suggesting that the game could adopt a 'soulslike' approach in the style of Nioh. It marks the fourth new Final Fantasy game in development, alongside Final Fantasy 16, Final Fantasy Remake 7 Part 2, and Final Fantasy 14. https://www.ign.com/articles/stranger-of-paradise-a-final-fantasy-origin-revealed-e3-2021 Edited March 17, 2022 by Abby_TheLastofUs Added new trailer 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelapsukainen Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 https://www.fanbyte.com/news/rumor-square-enix-set-to-announce-a-new-action-rpg-final-fantasy-spinoff/ Quote The rumor states that Square Enix is working with Team Ninja, Koei Tecmo’s in-house development team behind games like Ninja Gaiden, Nioh, and perhaps most relevantly the latest entry in the Final Fantasy fighting game series Dissidia NT. The posted rumors go on further by assigning the game a genre, something akin to Nioh or the Souls games, and suggesting it takes place somewhere in or adjacent to the world of the first Final Fantasy game on the NES. Our sources have corroborated this rumor and suggest the name of the game is Final Fantasy Origin. The game, which appears to be exclusive to PlayStation 5 with a PC release further down the road, will be one of Square Enix’s tentpoles at their upcoming E3 show. For whatever reason, several large chunks of the undated June show have leaked out, including the Final Fantasy Origin’s logo and demo plans. Square Enix hopes to release an alpha demo this summer, not unlike Nioh’s public alphas, to solicit feedback from the audience while the game is still in a fairly early state. This demo, like several other major demos, has its own title of “Stranger in Paradise.” Expect the title to play similar to Nioh or other games in the genre, but to be more accessible for a wider audience. Fanbyte’s sources indicated that the game is largely developed by the same team behind Dissidia NT, but that Team Ninja’s nearly-200 person studio involves a lot of shifting around and that there aren’t hard borders on the different teams these days. The Nioh DNA in the game is likely the result of people core to the first two games’ development being involved in Final Fantasy Origin. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sepheroithisgod Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 It's an interesting concept, I just wonder if they are going completely original in terms of characters, or will you be seeing a ton of familiar characters? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MandA60VISE Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 Dark Souls but with Final Fantasy job classes sound fun. Shame it's based off FF1 which is medievil instead of a more sci-fi Final Fantasy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SelectiveGamer Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 I'm going to need to see this game and have some more information about it before I decide to get it or not. I'm not a fan of the 'way to god damn hard' Souls genre so if it's truly like that I probably won't get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance_87 Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 Origins... i'm still wondering why they never ported FF1 and FF2 for PC. We have all the main numbered games there (doesn't matter if 3-4/TAY-5-6 are remakes/remasters) but not the first two games. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gildo1993 Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 I just hope they dont stray too far from the franchise roots with this (as if a DS inspired FF game wasn't straying far, but well). I love FF, DS not so much, but Im always open. As long as it's cool and fun, I'm game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For what they said (the leak of course) it will be based on the original one on the NES. So I presume you select a nameless class as in Dark Souls with different attributes. It would be cool 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dantes_994 Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 Hell yeah!! A FF game styled by the souls system would be awesome! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scemopagliaccioh Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 Interesting. Demon’s Souls and Dark Souls are, thinking about it, what Final Fantasy should have been, before the series abandoned job classes and focused more on the spectacle and characters from 6 to 15, with some rare exceptions like the expert sphere grid in 10, 10-2 and the International version of 12, of course, it depends if they manage to make a good job with this, but it’s kinda depressing now that I think about it, Dark Souls having all those build varieties while FFXV playing like a Sony third person game with a weak RPG element tacked on.

peffsi Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 From what I've read about this, "akin to Nioh or Souls" might be overstating the similarities to those games. I'm guessing the majority of similarities will be being a single-character action RPG with a dark medieval atmosphere. It's supposed to have multiple difficulty options, so there's no need to be worried about forced Souls-like difficulty. The title is awful, though. Super generic and easily confused with Origins.

Rozalia1 Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 Final Fantasy Souls based off Final Fantasy 1? Huh... that can actually work. If successful following it up with 2 and 3 could be easily done too I think with some modifications here and there. I do wonder if it will actually be FF1 though... Dissidia had this lore about how there was this other FF1 world or something and how Chaos came to be due to a nation creating him to try and combat all of the warmechs and such that another nation had (like FF10 basically). We all know how Square Enix operates, wouldn't put it past them to include all that. To be fair though, a ruined world FF1 via warmechs/monsters/Omega would be Soulslike than FF1 on its own.

Morfea Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 Oh, Oh! I have totally missed this! This made my old presumed dead hype feelings to get excited. I really hope it's a Souls/Nioh version of FF, I would love that!!! Give me more ? Just as long it's not a Dissidia 2.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PraiseTheFluppi Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 Sounds nice, I really love the souls-like-games a lot, with Final Fantasy monsters and the lore and everything this could be great! I'm just curious, is this possibly a FF1 'remake' in disguise? They even name it 'origin' and say it's based on ff1... just an idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
