Nods slowly… well… okay. That was certainly something. Will Stranger of Paradise end up being a memorable spectacle or epic disaster? At this point, I really couldn’t tell you. Thankfully, the developers of the game have made the rounds, answering a few questions about the game. Producer Fumihiko Yasuda admits the game is inspired by super-hard action RPGs like Nioh and Dark Souls… …that said, the game will have difficulty options, including a “Story” mode for folks who just want to soak up the hammy dialogue without worrying about the action too much. Speaking of the story, while it seems to take significant liberties with Final Fantasy lore, it’s not an “Isekai” – that is to say, it isn’t a story about jumping between multiple worlds and realities. The story’s going to be weird, but apparently, not in a super meta way. Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin makes its debut on PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, and PS5 on March 18.
