[Warning — Spoilers for Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin ahead!]
The upcoming DLC for Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin will feature a boss fight against the original heroes from FF1, including the Warrior of Light. The original Stranger of Paradise demo and trailer confirmed that the game is a retelling of FF1 and that its heroes claimed themselves to be the Warriors of Light, but the later trailer established that the protagonist, Jack, is actually Garland, the main villain of FF1.
It's revealed over the course of Stranger of Paradise that the game isn't a clear-cut retelling of FF1. The Lufenians (a technologically advanced race from FF1) were manipulating the world and resetting time, in order to maintain the balance between darkness and light. Jack and his friends are pawns in this plan, as they are the «Strangers,» whose role it is to enter the world to fix the balance, and they have their memories wiped whenever the world is reset. At the end of Stranger of Paradise, Jack uses the power of Chaos to escape from the Lufenians and create a world where the true Warriors of Light can exist. Stranger of Paradise's final cutscene shows Jack wearing the classic Garland gear, as the four Warriors of Light open the doors to the Chaos Shrine for the first boss battle of FF1.
