Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin is a game with a mixed reputation among Square Enix fans. It's an over-the-top violent soulslike and a dark re-imagining of the first Final Fantasy with some strange narrative choices throughout. That said, Jack himself has been embraced by the fan base as one of the Final Fantasy franchise's more unique protagonists, with the story itself still managing to elicit some somber reactions by the end of it.

This mixed reception hasn't stopped any future plans for the game, as Stranger of Paradise is getting a seasonal set of DLC. The first expansion set is known as «Trials of the Dragon King,» which take place after the main game's story. There are a set of brand-new missions for players to tackle in it, along with a storyline involving the titular Dragon King, Bahamut.

In a recent interview with Destructoid, Stranger of Paradise director Daisuke Inoue discuss some plans for the future with the game, as well as addressing fan requests.
