Team Ninja and Square Enix just released their new action-RPG game, Stranger of Paradise Final Fantasy Origin. This Square Enix published title is out for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via the Epic Games Store.
Stranger of Paradise Final Fantasy Origin is said to be a "bold, new vision to the Final Fantasy series." It is essentially an alternative take on some of the events in the first Final Fantasy game. You play as Jack Garland as he is on the search for Chaos. So, yeah... If you know, you know.
One weird but related thing I'll also mention here: If you decide to stream Stranger of Paradise Final Fantasy Origin, or make YouTube videos of your playthrough, you can't show the ending. This is according to the "Gameplay Video & Live Streaming Guidelines" that Square Enix put up.
Do not livestream, post videos, or post anything from the ending of the Game – including, without limitation, the content following the final battle up until “The Endâ€, “To be Continuedâ€, “Fin†or similar messaging is displayed.
In STRANGER OF PARADISE FINAL FANTASY ORIGIN, players can experience an alternate retelling of the classic FINAL FANTASY story, with a blend of challenging and strategic action-packed gameplay set in the world and lore of the beloved series. Players can join Jack and his allies, Ash, Jed, Neon and Sophia, as they throw open the gates of the Chaos Shrine and step into a world of dark fantasy and take on exhilarating battles to discover if they are truly the Warriors of Light the prophecy foretold.
