the ff isekai manga (which is inexplicably decent) also uses the word 'stranger' in the title. final fantasy lost stranger. its absolutely an isekai.

Apparently Famitsu has more pictures of the trio and it absolutely is

It was Plundersaurus Rex's dream to be the greatest pirate dragon ever.

I’ve legit never felt “I don’t want that to exist” about a game before. Today is full of new emotions for me.

So it's coming to everything but the demo is PS5 only, that's lame. Hope there are more demos later

But is anyone deeply invested in the warrior of light as a character? And his serious rivalry with Chaos, the most generic villain possible?

It's probably less a particular existing character relation between Eminem and Metaknight-but-with-adult-body-proportions, and more that it's a Soulslike, so it needs to have a decaying fantasy world, and those are the only two established characters in their existing decaying fantasy world to have yell at each other and imply "yes there is a plot".

I took the octopath less travelered,

And it made one-eighth the difference.
Here's some info on it.

quote:

You take the role of Jack who, along with allies Ash and Jed, sets off on a quest to defeat Chaos. Burning with resolve, and with memories of their struggle deep in their hearts, are they the foretold Warriors of Light?

Your journey will take you into a dark and challenging fantasy world, filled with iconic monsters from the FINAL FANTASY series. Fortunately, Jack isn’t exactly defenseless - he can use powerful spells and abilities from a range of jobs, including warrior, dragoon and black mage.

It's no Clive, but Jack will do.

It 100% is and I am absolutely confounded why they wouldn't put that in the trailer. Do they think isekai's are a new and exciting concept for a twist or something. Did they think it'd put people off.

That's what I love about him, he looks like the most generic guy that probably works in a factory 40 hours a week, drives a slightly-old pickup, and loves to spend time chilling with friends at his local bar. Yet his entire personality is "I REALLY loving HATE CHAOS".

I am willing to bet 1000% that Chaos somehow killed his family

Now I wish the main character was named Ashe and it echoed her revenge-driven quest in a different narrative/gameplay style to Matsuno's politics and complex motivations.

There's an article with the devs.

I’m glad we were able to announce this new FINAL FANTASY game—an action game in which Jack, a Warrior of Light(?), lays waste to monsters while being bathed in the spray of their blood. I'm a huge fan of the FINAL FANTASY series myself, so I'm going to work hard towards release so that this blood-stained Jack can become a hero!
