New details are here for Strange of Paradise Final Fantasy Origin

There is less than two months to go, until Strange of Paradise Final Fantasy Origin is released for players, which will not only let them revisit locations from the very first game in the series, but also experience combat unseen in the series.

With the countdown on, the team have released a new story trailer, which is below, but they have also released a wealth of new information, which is below the first trailer.

Some of the new details released, are around the job system, a core aspect of the original games in the series, because the job you pick can enhance your playstyle, or make it much more challenging.

The game’s job system allows users to switch up their fighting style, seamlessly jumping from hand-to-hand combat to spell or sword swinging, and much more. Levelling up these jobs will allow users to unlock more advanced jobs with even more distinctive combat styles, and even the ability to dual-wield. We have further details on three of the advanced jobs: the Red Mage, Berserker, and Samurai.

Check out the combat and jobs system in the below video.

On top of the jobs, we got a few details on some of the monsters that players will have to deal with. First up is the Fiend of Water, the Kraken, it attacks ferociously with long tentacles and rush attacks. It uses abilities that steal buffs, and water-element attacks that make use of the surrounding environment.

The second monster is the Fiend of Earth, the Lich, it can sling spells and attacks that inflict status ailments. It’s a tricky opponent that can inflict Curse, which saps the upper limit of the Break Gauge, or summon forth skeletons.

To wrap the news deluge up, we have some new screens from the game, some are character focused, some look at locations, so enjoy.

The game will release on March 18 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC via Epic Game Store.
