[@romiarkan450]

Thanks to this game, Garland will now be known as the man behind the armor: funny Chaos man who listens to nu-metal and skips cutscenes. And I'm cool with that.

[@t.k7five084]

Wasn't nu metal music though, also he has shown to like classic music as well. An he only skips a few cut scenes,and he doesn't really do that anymore.

[@shadowednight1600]

He's more than a one note baddie. Now he;s a person, a soul that fought against a unfair system and ensured fantasy reigns free, unbound by Lufernain whims

[@naliboi93]

Just finished the main campaign myself yesterday and started chaos difficulty today. Honestly surprised at how much character progression gets shoehorned into the final 3 missions. Jack and Astos both became rather likeable towards the end. Nice little origin story, even if it had some of its ridiculour moments and got quite convoluted. Debating whether I should pick up the season pass now.

[@oiawoo9168]

I just realized something: Jack waited for 2 thousand years to fight the WoL, and if they fail to defeat Jack he'll reset the time to wait for another 2 thousand years to fight them, again and again till the WoLs finally manage to defeat and kill Jack. It makes me feel sad and lonely for Jack, to be alone for tens of millennia basically waiting for someone to kill him.

[@edwardmakabling418]

What is the reason why Jack is resetting the event?

[@eleos-7845]

⁠@@edwardmakabling418To “balance the scales” so to speak. To create a warrior with the power of light strong enough to kill them, balance out all of the darkness of the world the game takes place in: Cornelia. Doing so would rid the world of all monsters and all traces of the Lufenians and “put the reigns of history back into the hands of man,” to quote a character from FFXII. (The history part wasn’t mentioned anywhere in the game, I just thought that quote could apply to this game as well)

[@SaiyanGamer95]

In the original game (FF1), it's basically stated that the events of the game were part of an endless loop. Basically, when the WoLs kill Jack Garland at the temple, the Fiends transport Jack 2,000 years in the past, where he survives and becomes Chaos. There, he sends to Four Fiends to the Present, where they cause havoc. It all creates an endless timeloop until the Warriors travel 2,000 years into the past to kill Chaos, breaking the timeloop. With no timeloop, they basically get sent to a new world; one where the Four Fiends never corrupted the Crystals and one where Garland never turned evil. But because there was no evil, the people never knew of the battles the Warriors fought to save the day.

[@Amainville93]

My only disappointment is that he didn’t say the iconic line at the start of the fight: “I, Garland, will knock you all down!”

[@davysamir2289]

Well at least he had his iconic Dissidia Line „ ILL CRUSH YOU“ Even more ironic, its Jack who says this to Chaos Advent which was kind of one of many foreshadowing that Jack is in fact Garland (or going to become the Garland we know)

[@santino7470]

The fact you get to throw hands again as WoL is awesome. Will forever love the rivalry these two have.

[@galaxycamerata]

I love that Astos puts a capstone on the grand thesis of this game's story. Jack Garland treats the world around him with a sense of irreverence, but he does so because the world itself feels like an old friend to him. He has taken part in this game this untold times, and he will gladly do it untold more if it means seeing this world prosper. Jack Garland is a fan of Final Fantasy.

[@Peace141308]

Honestly, I hope we get more of these "Final Fantasy Origin" style of games, they're so much fun and really shed new light to characters that seemed so simple in paper, hopefully we get more in the future.

[@badwrongfun5541]

I don't see how you can do this with any other game except for maybe III? II has a good, fleshed out story on par with the IV and VI and far above the other Famicom/NES titles, incredibly impressive for it's time. V is simple, light hearted, and comedic on purpose in order to contrast the melodrama of IV. But even with III, they basically tried to do this already with the DS remake? I don't think it succeeds, but they tried. And IV, while already a good story, got an expanded rewrite for it's remake that fleshed things out more. So it definitely doesn't need the treatment.I guess you could Final Fantasy Origins: Mystic Quest? Maybe you could do it with Dragon Quest I and II if we're going outside of Final Fantasy?

[@jxi8098]

@BadWrongFun The only issue with trying to do Stranger/Origins for DQ 1/2 is that Dragon Quest Builders 1 and 2 already do that by exploring the bad end of dq 1 and be a follow up to dq 2 respectively.

[@Aqua311]

There's still a chance that Jack and co are alive after all this. In the original FF, Garland was back in Cornelia now that the time loop had been broken. But what would he do then? The world will be at peace, so there's nothing for him to fight. He might join Gilgamesh in his eternal wanderings. There'll be no shortage of battles for them, that's for sure.

[@BuffMaister]

F for Jack, he only had one purpose. After 10 months, the game has come to its end and it is now time to say goodbye to Jack. For a protagonist, Jack has grown on me and has an amazing VA. This was a good ride even if the main story DLCs were short and heavily power creeped that destroys progression for casual players (Fixed with Extra mode). I clocked in around 170~ hours over the year. When the game was first announced it started off as a CHAOS meme trailer and no one knew what to expect. Sadly, the game suffered from sales in the end. Team Ninja did good on the combat as well and you get Definitely your money worth for all the content they put in. If you enjoy Nioh / Souls games, you would enjoy this as well with all the overpowered builds you can create. Definitely a GOTY of 2022 for me. Wish they would continue dropping more DLCs of other FF series.

[@jonasfadi8213]

I am more than sure they would follow the tradition with a future ff game. Maybe origins 2

[@BuffMaister]

I'm not sure if Square swings that way with a sequel. They are in for trying and experimenting with these kinds of games, but most are a dud and end up shutting down or having bad sales.

In response to other comments here, it's also a shame that due to how shit the remaster was for Crystal Chronicles, we'll likely never see anything related to that universe again. CC's world has so much room for different stories to tell, but it's likely just easier for them to spit out a new FF, then a FF IP counterpart every couple of years. Honestly, Strangers of Paradise does deserve some love for how crazy it is.

love how they gave the light warriors jobs that were not in FF1 at the time. this was a pretty solid retelling and added a hefty chunk of backstory to the series beginning. wish they allowed more games like this for the other titles. ff4, 7(seeing the events from seph's and shinra's eyes with vincent and a few others around at that time would be awesome), 8 (definitely 8. playing as sorc. hein leading up to edea's takeover would be epic as pure mage users). 9 since it's a retelling/reboot of the series from the creators vision (and his favorite as it's told as how he would of originally wanted FF to begin).

[@Lucrecia812]

Thank you for sharing all these cutscenes from the third dlc. The whole plot and world setting have been quite interesting. I also hope we could have more stories with this cast in the future.

I really feel its a shame they put less effort into the ending itself. This is the big "come full circle" moment, so you would have expected an animated ending scene. At the least a GCI ending like the opening. Where after breaking the cycle, you see the WoL and his companions return to Cornelia, having broken the time loop they return to a peaceful Cornelia with everyone safe. As well as Garland now clad in a more "light/good" version of his armor, posing as the Princess's bodyguard, and his friends beside him. Smiling at the WoL before approaching him and giving him a bro-fist.

[@Sameruno]

i agree with the cutscene thing, but this is the point. no one remembers what they did not even the WoL since the loop is broken and nothing has happened essentially

[@dubiouslobo9190]

This game was a true 10/10 gem. I know that people don't appreciate it now, but in a few years Stranger of Paradise will be talked about in a much-loved light as a hidden gem. I'll never forget the struggle and sacrifice of Jack Garland and the Warriors of Chaos. They became the darkness that would guide the light to save everyone. A story of rebellion, of casting off the chains of those who bind you to a path that is not your own. To give hope back to the people as well as their own fates in their own hands. Easily in my top 5 games of all time. Thank you Square Enix and Ninja Theory.

Outside of the action gameplay and lack of “Party” the games is a near perfect return to form. Feels like the FFXI we should of gotten. I personally found FFVIIR a complete disappointment. I am personally hoping Rebirth fixes all the mistakes Remake did. It’s to late to salvage it as a traditional remake, so just go bat guano insane as a sequel to the compilation.

@@FelixS. I found the “meta narrative” to be absolutely pathetic so much that I believe it doesn’t really exist and it was just jurnos being jurnos. Specially since the Japanese script does not have any of this “meta narrative” nonsense. The whispers seem to be related to Geostigma and Jenovah. There’s also the fact they censored and butchered way too much of the story. All for the cursed “modern sensibilities”. I found it way to toned down and it was awful. I hope Rebirth is much better. Wether it gets a better translation (eng FFVIIR has a really bad script) or ends up getting an M rating (tries to be more FFXVI or SoP). I just want Rebirth to be anything other than, according to Kitase’s April famitsu interview before the games release, “FFVII Disney Remake” 🤢. I don’t have much of a problem with it being a sequel to the compilation as long as it doesn’t touch the original. At this point I prefer it to be it’s own thing than a remake. Oh and no a straight up uncensored remake would of actually broken sales records. That’s what fans and consumers wanted.

I'm under the impression that this ending seen here is from the ending where Jack doesn't take the crystal. This creates the loop seen in Final Fantasy 1, which brings it all around again. While Opera Omnia confirms that Dissidia Garland and SoP Garland are not the same person, ultimately the story ends up the same way - the WoL's break the loop and save the world. I think the second ending where Jack does take the crystal is setting up a new Dsiddia game,. It seems like Jack will become the god of chaos, and the WoL will become the god of order. That would be awesome to see as a main game, though I do wonder how that would affect Opera Omnia since Jack is in that universe now. I'm really gonna miss this game! I hope to see Jack and the Strangers again someday, even if it just in crossovers.

[@hoangaget5017]

The ending in this video is when Jack unintentionally took the Crystal, with the Emperor became Warrior of Light, the Loop now can be broken. Also, I think Jack became the same Garland in Dissidia 'cause it is now the same Future as Kupo mentioned. Honestly, without Jack taking the Crystal, I think it means the Loop will go on forever without someone strong enough to break it, and things will never be the same as they are meant to be... I love in the final showcase when the two face off and the Narrative said: "...power of light should not be used for dark...", like Jack giving the Emperor (Now WOL) a final warning!!!

Now my question is if, going forward, Jack’s voice actor will be the new English voice for Garland.

Don’t know how viable it is, but I’ve been using the 10,000 needles move (from an accessory) to get through these bosses. It has a really fast cast speed.

[@chrisdaughen5257]

@@shadbonnieakahenrymarcimof6725 That'd be cool. Since the time paradox is resolved somewhat, the FF1 remake would have you explore the world, but without all the references to future titles (which were all caused by Chaos). So it would be an authentic FF1 experience.

I played the crap out of this game on its release, though I’ve not bothered with the expansions. I enjoyed the game for the most part; I originally played it on my Xbox One S and it looked like someone smeared vasoline all over my tv screen. I’ve seen played it some on my Xbox Series X and my PS5 and it looks a lot better on those consoles! Stranger was, well, kinda strange but mostly a good kind of strange. I wouldn’t mind other Final Fantasy games getting the Stranger treatment.

[@yuki_ninam3770]

you don't really need op build if you just wanna finish the dlc,, equip runic protection and do the mission on extra mode as long as that buff is active you won't die

[@josetomascamposrobledano4618]

@@yuki_ninam3770 yeah. Thought Lufenian would disable extra mode but it didn’t. However I still need to do the 30 floors of the Rift. So if you know of any ways to become OP I’m all ears!

[@josetomascamposrobledano4618]

Update: Breaker broke the game and I went from doing 900 or less damage with charged attacks to 100000 in a matter of minutes thanks to optimizing the build. If anyone is suffering, spend materpoints of charged attack damage and use the fuse option on the Smithy to create your optimal job affinity as well as playing around with weapon armor stats. It’s like Nioh but a lot more easy to create your perfect equipment thanks to the many smithing options!

Only absolute clowns would think that. This game is a loveletter to the series and a fantastic arpg. Any self respecting FF or arpg enjoyer should give it an honest try. It's like playing FF1 and 5 combined with excellent gameplay and customisation, with modern graphics of course. I seriously have 0 clue how anyone could dislike this game unless they simply suck at videogames but that's why there's a Casual difficulty setting

Wait you can play WoL in this game? I thought it was Jack only? Also what kinda weapon are you using, and am I seeing you use a one handed sword without a shield? Is that actually viable? Also, what class is this?

[@EXL72]

Warrior of Light is a skin used for the final story mission in the last dlc. Which is shown here. After completing it, you unlock the skin completely so you can be WoL in appearance only. As for not using a shield, it could be transmogged to be showning no shield. He’s using Dark Knight and White Mage here.
