So, this is technically an origin story/prequel to FF1 where Garlan who went into timeloops wanting to fix the problem of corrupted people wanting to play gods by himself, but he is in a disadvantage in the current era even if he loops more times cuz the ones in power will just send more sacrifices for chaos to "eat", so this time, he along with his friends went thousands of years back in time when the ones in control don't even exists to mold the world into a proper solution with an actual hero of light who will end the loop once and for all...i hope there is a sequel/dlc and see how this goes and give it a proper ending.

[@GilgameshofBabylon]

Interesting. This means Tiamat in the original FF1 managed to succeed in some capacity in bringing the original Lufenians down. Their descendants mentioned they sent Five Warriors to look for the cause of that attack but never returned. (When you translate their language) Given a few millenia of storytelling changes, it might be possible to fit those five warriors as Jack and company. The Lufenians after losing their civilization.... just forgot about the real events.

[@kidhavii]

There’s a flaw in your logic though. Those 5 warriors are confirmed to be that bats flying around the dark crystal. They even regain the ability to speak once you open the portal to travel back in time. Don’t take this story as canon. What it does do is take Final Fantasy story elements and makes a story that could be linked with contrivances. What I’m really interested in is who was the benefactor and he Lufenians referred to in their report? Was it Shinryu?

[@UndyingWladeslaus]

@@kidhavii As a being so invested in keeping the cycle going, that's not a bad theory. I wonder if Cid was the one that created Astos. He had to have known that a memory/record retainer with a will like that would eventually lead to Lufenia losing it's grip on the world of FF1. But there's plenty of dlc coming apparently so maybe more answers will come. Just to throw in here as well, Matoya and Bahamut are mysteriously uninvolved in this origin story so far...

[@kidhavii]

@@UndyingWladeslaus We know that Bahamut will have his own DLC, Trials of the Dragon King. Matoya is a more interesting topic, since she is linked to Astos in the original game. Then again, she is also of little importance.

[@UndyingWladeslaus]

@@kidhavii True, Matoya was a very minor character. But so was Astos. And the way the adventure flows so well for the Warriors of Light in FF1, and following Jack's epiphany, it only makes sense she'd be a major piece of his scheme to free the world from the Lufaine. I hope she shows up in time. Astos may star his own DLC and she could be a major character for an arc of his in a DLC. There's still plenty of character and arc to explore with him.

So, Jack 10 years ago planned with Astos and his four friends to break free of their bosses, the Lufenians, who had been using Cornelia as a dumping ground for their darkness, which seems like a physically objective measurable thing that causes bad thigns to happen. This is however at the cost of everyone's lives in Cornelia and their world . Lufenians were doing this to become a prefect society in their world which is a seperate universe from the one that houses Cornelia. Jack and his team decided to do this by pushing Jack to become a conduit of darkness who'd absorb their power and become chaos itself, in order to destory them. Jack had his memories of what happened in the previous 10 years erased but after becoming chaos (by defeating the boss darkness manifest) is told "you will never beat us" by the Lufenians and one makes reference to the "Warriors of Light" who are actually fictional before this point. However Jack realizes at that moment, he now has the power to make them real and thus resets the universe whole cutting off the Lufenians from that world. Finally once he's reset the universe he discovers this was his plan from 10 years ago and that his allies were pushing him toward this the whole time because that was always the plan. we then discover he thought up this plan while talking to Sarah playfully about running away together, finally at 15:10 Jack puts forth that they use their power to make the Warriors of light a reality

[@18wolfspirit]

Questions Why did the sixth dark crystal held by Sarah draw all the darkness towards her? Where do the Lufenians get the humans in every iteration? Why did the Lufenians not notice Jack giving one of his dark crystals away so that his memories could be restored later? How did Jack’s friends pull him 2000 years into the past when Jack already killed them?

How do you get regen and cure on the mage build? I am stuck on this boss and don't have those.

So is this hinting at the start of a compilation of FF1 games and stories in the future similar FF7 compilation, Ivalice Alliance, Fabulous Crysalis Nova, FF15 Universe? Gotta hand it to the dev team and Nomura this is pure genius in itself to create a game to reexplore FF1

[@KaiserRika]

Jack: to defeat Chaos, I must become Chaos *BIG BRAIN MOMENT*

[@internetexplorerchan2697]

Jack be like: Sorry future manikins, we had no choice. We can't capable to beat them alone. We manifest the darkness for the temporary good. We fell bad from all of the victims from our "misguided" threats. We are just playing our role to train them which it is hard for us to disobey morality. In the end, when Chaos end in demise, the world will reset without bothering its existence and we live in peaceful and prosperous world.

[@shadbonnieakahenrymarcimof6725]

[@alexGraham37]

Stranger of Paradise is actually the "backstory" of how Garland becomes the knight lauded by Cornelia. But, as per the words of Tetsuya Nomura, it's not a "direct" sequel or prequel to FF1. Because it's is not the exact same world of FF1. In FF1, the Warriors of Light broke the time loop when they defeated Garland

[@imthemetalguy1]

I'm a newb when it comes to FF lore. The first one I've played was X, then the ones after that. I played VIIR and was told they changed a lot of things in that. So all of this feels new to me. And damn was the story impressive

[@zetamangads]

The original game is from the NES era it was very ambitious, story in short is very simple basically four warriors of Light are in a journey to defeat Garland his four fiends and chaos and it involves time traveling. This game is basically an alternate take on the Garland, because in the original he was just a knight who served Cornelia. This game is basically Nomura wet dream because unlike the original creator of Final Fantasy Hironobu Sakaguchi who like to make his story simple and a little deep, Nomura makes his story too complex which can be confusing, edgy and directionless just look how Kingdom Hearts has become it has so many retcons. Luckily this game was written by someone else and Nomura was the producer and concepts of this game story.

[@Darksaviour]

HA my theory came true! My theory was this entire game was an origin story for Garland!

[@ciarandoherty6180]

...HE...they are there...to challenge Garland...the lord...of Chaos...the four Warriors of Light.

[@chrisdaughen5257]

It would have been better if the scene of Garland taking Princess Sarah was first, and the one where the Warriors of Light face Garland was shown after the credits.

[@Darealpokgai]

then can we get garland's armor set in the game?

Yes, it's either called FF1 1987 and it's later port, or FF1 Remake in 5 years. Or hope they give us the DLC with base game size
