Square Enix showed off some more of Stranger of Paradise Final Fantasy Origin earlier today during the Tokyo Game Show. If you thought that the first trailer was something, you're going to be in for an absolute treat with what we have to show today.
First up, Square Enix announced that Stranger of Paradise Final Fantasy Origin is going to launch on March 18, 2022 on the PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC exclusively on the Epic Games Store (you shouldn't be surprised at this). The game is still in development from Team Ninja and Koei Tecmo, in collaboration with Tetsuya Nomura.
STRANGER OF PARADISE FINAL FANTASY ORIGIN blends challenging and strategic action gameplay with the world and lore of the FINAL FANTASY series to create a unique action RPG experience. Join Jack and his allies as they throw open the gates to the Chaos Shrine and step into a world of dark fantasy and exhilarating battles to discover if they are truly the Warriors of Light the prophecy foretold.
Stranger of Paradise Final Fantasy Origin Trial Version 2 is available only through October 11 at 7:59AM (PT).
Now, on to the good stuff. If you are unable to play the demo for yourself, I want you to watch the following clip. No, I need you to watch this clip. Just trust me on this. It's only a minute long. Keep in mind while watching it that it has not been edited in any way.
This game is either going to be the best Final Fantasy game ever released, or it will be the worst one ever released. There will be no in-between.
Oh, and here's the new trailer that Square Enix put out.
