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. Settings File Mission & Battle File Challenge File Secret 1: Story & World Study Character Profiles View them all in one post at the link above, or individually: Jack Ash Jed Neon Sophia Astos Sarah Bikke King of Cornelia Minister Lagone Queen Jayne Mia Lufenian Darkness Manifest Tiamat Marilith...
What keyword or phrase would you use to describe this game?
Inoue: I think it's "a story tied to hope for the future." When I received the first version of the plot from Kanemaki, I actually thought that in order to stir up the negative emotions in Jack and his companions, that the story would end in revenge or anger (and I had actually asked this of Kanemaki). However, Nojima, in charge of scenario writing, proposed that he'd like the story to end with Jack smiling and to ditch the tragic ending. So the ending turned into one in which companions discuss their plans for the future. Thanks to Nojima and his many years creating stories for the Final Fantasy series, rather than a tragedy with Jack and his companions repeatedly enduring tragedy, I believe the story became one of people falling to darkness for the sake of bringing hope to the future.
