Jack Garland Does It His Way In The Final Stranger Of Paradise Trailer

Jack Garland, and his quest to eliminate Chaos have been the talk of our lives since June. We’re less than two months from release, and after two betas and multiple trailers, I still don’t know what is going on in Stranger of Paradise Final Fantasy Origin.

There’s plenty of action shown off in the latest and apparently last trailer for the game, with Jack and Co. using various classes in battle to destroy hordes of enemies, including the multi-headed Tiamat, which apparently gets crystallized and shattered in the footage. Lich, Kraken, and Marilith the boss of Final Fantasy 1 are also shown. 

We catch glimpses at Jack dressed in regal garb, speaking with Sarah, and gifting her a pitch-black egg-like object, while promising not to forget. Memory is brought up a few times, with one early mention from Jack expressing the opinion that “it’s a mercy to forget.” The trailer clocks in at almost five minutes and goes all over the place. The camera moves from dark castles to virtual rooms in brightly lit spaces, while Frank Sinatra’s “My Way” is played on the background. I never thought I’d be hearing Ol’ Blue Eyes on a Final Fantasy soundtrack alongside Limp Bizkit, but here we are. 

Stranger of Paradise Final Fantasy Origin, regardless of your opinion, will be available on March 18, for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S.
