Because the content I've translated / scanned from this book is scattered across this blog on multiple pages, I've decided to put together a directory of the content in the book so readers can more easily find what they're looking for. Please note that as I haven't translated the entire book and god knows I probably never will, the unlinked sections below are not (yet?) included on this blog. If anyone's still reading this long-neglected blog, this would be the place to request specific translations in the comments, though! Prologue Q&A For Strangers in Paradise This section primarily teaches how to play the game so it's likely I won't be translating it.

Are there any aspects of the game that you considered differentiating from Dissidia?
Inoue: While Dissidia is a character all-star Final Fantasy, I think Stranger of Paradise is a location all-star Final Fantasy. In Dissidia, each character adapted to the Dissidia worldview while sticking with their own concept from their original game. This game is the same; the landmarks from each game have been reconstructed to fit the worldview of this game, while maintaining the concepts behind their original appearances. So in that way, there's a distinction in whether it's characters or landmarks, but the fundamental idea is the same. Also, I thought about distinctions such as the speed of the action and grounding the characters. In Dissidia, the characters are airborne a lot of the time and the action is fast-paced, but for this game, I remember talking with Mr. Kumabe and Mr. Usuda about going a different direction and grounding more of the action.
Kumabe: The action in this game and Dissidia -- a competitive game -- is completely different, so I didn't really think about differentiating them. Rather, we thought about incorporating the flashiness and stylishness of Final Fantasy that we cultivated in Dissidia into the framework of an action game.
