Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin announced - Coming 2022 to PC, PS4/PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S
- Thread starter --R
- Start date
This game seems like it was designed specifically to piss off people who go on here and I love it. I unironically love early/mid 2000's edge so this is right up my alley.
Nobody mentioning, bland designs aside, how none of them look like any of the characters from FF1...
Sqenix, what the hell!

because Garland is a fallen knight and becomes Chaos. It's pretty simple right
Looking at the screens like legit got me wondering if this was an early previous gen game that got brought back from the morgue and thawed out and then slapped FF branding on .
Holy shit at the Sims one xD

Yeah, she was popular (and lets ignore all the hate she got that was full of thinly veiled misogyny), and since then.... we've had Final Fantasy XV, the first game in the series that had set characters that has an all male party and did not have playable a single female character, and was very "bro"-y in its depiction ofwomen, to the point where Tabata during an Active Time Report said somethign to the effect of "if people want female characters why are they upset at Cidny Aurum the incredibly sexualised mechanic that's there literally for eye candy and for prompto to creep on". And XIV, that features a character creator, but focuses its CG trailers on the everyone's favourite male Hyur Midlander. And XVI which from what we can tell features a single playable character, a really angry dude on a revenge quest. And then we have Stranger of Paradise FFO, which features a single playable character, a really angry dude on a quest to murder CHAOS, and all male party.
Nioh and Nioh 2 were both well-received games, I get that the voice actor is not great, and his grunt sounds are really strange to hear (which could probably be fixed) - I'm not sure why people would expect this to be terrible, if their last game was Nioh 2. Seems like it might be a pretty solid game once all the hate fest blows over.
Hey. We at Square hear you, you don't like our women character designs. In the past, we've been criticized for the women in our games being little more than plot devices wearing bikini armor. Due to this feedback, we have decided to now put zero women in our newest game, Stranger's Paradise. Nomura-san has taken great care to make the men in our game look as masculine as possible, except for the comic relief of course!
What's that? Hire women to draw and design our characters or even write our stories? That's ridic-
We will not be taking any further feedback at this time. Thank you.

So watching this trailer finally, strikes me as everything wrong with video games 10 years ago in tone lol. Like I thought we were past this kind of try-hard edginess, but alas.
So I can't play the FF Origin demo because it crashes on launch lmaooooo
Square pls come to your senses and just cancel this trash.

Sus. Amogus.
FF1 is pretty light on other possible characters, real warriors got switched with the bois and are having a crazy adventure in the modern world like trying to get a glowing sword past the TSA.
Remember, this is the game gamers apparently want and deserve.
i mean, id have picked it too lmao
the trailer was awful but im still intrigued by it, and i like the nioh combat system
lis true colors was nice too, but tbh it was already shown a couple of months ago
so? lightning proved that female protagonists work and SE could make more games with female protagonists.
My biggest issue with this game is that the way people were describing this game before it was announced was a Souls-like game. Beyond that, I was anticipating a character creation system with classic FF classes, but perhaps more grim dark in tone. I was also hoping there would be an open world, but I wasn't counting on it. What this basically amounts to is a Ninja Gaiden game, with all the angst and difficulty that the series has traditionally been about.
I'm gonna be pissed if they pull an isekai twist on this when they already have the isekai game Forspoken.
That trailer was atrocious. A friend and I were chatting online while we watched the show and we just kept spamming CHAOS to each other halfway through. Such juvenile writing...
It seems like their internal teams have been doing okay. But their collaborations and publishing efforts have mostly shit the bed.
First reaction of everyone is big WTF. May be SE was going for meme PR, LOL!
FfXIV is Alisae and Alphinaud's game. Our warriors of light are just lucky to tag along.
According to one of the official descriptions out there, it does seem like FF Jobs feature in this somehow.
