For the rest, if you want to know more read our Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin trial, in which we wrote:

Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin is a game with so much potential which, in addition to a technical finish, also needs the ideal space to express oneself to the fullest. We know what Team Ninja is capable of, we have seen it with Nioh that this project is strongly inspired by, and the job-based combat system shows that it can give a lot if, above all, you realize the road that still has to go to perfect. The improvements to artificial intelligence, both in terms of reactivity and with the newly introduced Resonance, demonstrate the will to improve more and more. The story is a big question mark, especially given its unclear relationship to the original chapter (is it a rewrite? A spin off? Something totally unrelated?) And the fact that Nojima is capable of both great storylines and very good scripts. questionable, while from a technical point of view the uncertainties are still evident. However, the margins for improvement are there to be seen: the hope is that they will be seized, to arrive at the creation of a game perhaps out of time but still capable of giving hours of fun.

Stranger of Paradise Release Date: When is Stranger of Paradise out?

SQUARE ENIX recently released some interesting new story details about Stranger of Paradise, including information on the game’s main characters. We’ve got new details on Sophia, Astos, Tiamat, and some of the game’s locations, which brings us back to the original Final Fantasy game from 1987. These new details are starting to pick the hype up for fans. So, if you’re one of the fans who is looking forward to this game’s release, here is when Strangers of Paradise‘s release date is going to be.


Strangers of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin is set to release on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and the Xbox Series X on March 18, 2022.


Strangers of Paradise was first revealed back in E3 2021, with a demo released on the same day of its reveal. Back then, critic reception was mixed, especially thanks to the game’s main character being named Jack in a fantasy world, and him saying “I’m here to kill Chaos” over and over again. But further reveals made people more interested in the Final Fantasy I spin-off game. With Team Ninja (Nioh, Dead or Alive, Ninja Gaiden) at the helm, we all know that the game is in good hands. Further demos have also revealed that Strangers of Paradise does have a nice gameplay loop, which we hope would lead to a really great game once it releases next year.
