This weekend was the birthday of the first Final fantasy, so Square Enix held an anniversary livestream where they revealed new details of Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin. Just as many suspected, this new Ninja Theory game is a reimagining of the story of the first game with the 4 warriors of light.
The first Final Fantasy introduced us to the story of the 4 warriors of light, who possessed the crystals of light and were tasked with ending Garland to save the world. From the first announcement of Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin It was suspected that we were facing a reimagining of the series, not only because of the name, but because of the constant mention of “Chaos”, the true form of Garland.

Although in the comments some fans are dissatisfied with the treatment of this kind of reboot, others say that it is their most anticipated game for 2022.
According to Square enix, Stranger of Paradise is an alternative version of the classic that tells us about Garland’s dark origins with the journey of Jack and his companions. While Jack’s design still looks generic, we hope the story lives up to the best of Final Fantasy.
