FF: Stranger Of Paradise Site Bizarrely Rick Rolls Fans With Trailer
Fans who were expecting to see the DLC trailer for Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin on the game's official website were met with a surprise, as the trailer link was a rickroll in disguise. The trailer was meant to be for the Trials of the Dragon DLC, which will add Bahamut to Stranger of Paradise as a new boss fight, along with the Warrior of Light from FF1.
Stranger of Paradise is an action RPG that retells the story of FF1, while also introducing elements from the later games in the series, as it's meant to be one of the games that is celebrating the 35th anniversary of the Final Fantasy series as a whole. The game follows Jack Garland, a member of the self-proclaimed Warriors of Light, whose only mission in life is to destroy Chaos. Jack's obsession with destroying Chaos in the original trailer quickly reached memetic status, to the point where the discourse surrounding the game was dominated by images of Jack shouting about Chaos. The final version of Stranger of Paradise lived up to the memes, with Jack shouting about Chaos every chance he could get.

The official Square Enix YouTube accounts released a trailer for Trials of the Dragon King, which will be the first of three planned DLC updates for Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin. The trailer worked fine on YouTube, but the page for Stranger of Paradise on the official Square Enix website had a different link. It was initially noticed by users on the ResetEraforums that the direct trailer link on the Square Enix website would actually go to «Never Gonna Give You Up» by Rick Astley, an internet prank that's been going for years.
