Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin

Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin is an upcoming third person action game developed by Team Ninja. It is a loose reimagining of the original Final Fantasy, with a dark fantasy setting and fast-paced action gameplay inspired by Team Ninja's previous title Nioh.

Development
Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin was co-directed by Daisuke Inoue (Square Enix), Hiroya Usuda and Nobumichi Kumabe (Team Ninja), and co-produced by Jin Fujiwara (Square Enix) and Fumihiko Yasuda (Team Ninja).

The concept for Stranger of Paradise was merged from two separate game concepts by Tetsuya Nomura: an action game about conquering locations, created after the release of Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy; and one for a sub-series centered on an older, embittered version of Final Fantasy villain Garland. Stranger of Paradise was developed with a darker tone and aesthetic to reflect Garland's villainous character. Nomura initially pitched his concept as an original game due to its tone, but it was turned into a Final Fantasy spin-off at the request of Daisuke Inoue and Jin Fujiwara.
