Prologue

 Long ago, the highly advanced civilization of Lufenia foresaw the imbalance of light and darkness in Cornelia, and ultimately, the collapse of the world. In order to prevent this destruction, they attempted t guide Cornelia force, but changed course before long. They disappeared into another dimension, and thus began their plan to control the world's light and darkness. This plan was supported y dispatched personnel called "Strangers," and the "reset" of the world by the power of the "dimensional crystal matrix."

The Lufenians meddle with Cornelia from another dimension, attempting to balance light and darkness through trial and error, and resetting the world with each failure. When the world is returned to its beginnings with a reset, the nature that had been lost, and the people who had died, are entirely restored. As though nothing had ever happened. Consequently, to the Lufenians, the lives of the Cornelians and the lives of the Strangers were of little value. If the balance of light and darkness were to be restored and the collapse of the world prevented, then nothing else would matter.

Jack Garland, a vertern Stranger dispatched from Lufenia, is enraged by this distorted injustice, and decides to fight back. Unconcerned that his memories are being taken away and he's being used, he sticks to his beliefs. For the sake of seizing the power to reset the world, and to free Cornelia from Lufenia's curse.

This is the story of a man breaking away from a merciless cycle of reincarnation, and begins the beginning of something new.

Lufenian Report Analysis

The following passages expand upon existing Lufenian Report data. The Strangers' True Identity The Lufenians are using humans gathered from other planets to manage the balance of light and darkness in Cornelia. Without knowing this truth, Jack and his companions simply assume they are Lufenian, and consider Station 19 their homeland. In addition, their clothing (their starting equipment) are from their real homeland. Mechanisms of Recreation Lufenians use the term "reset" to describe using the power of the dimensional crystal matrix to go back in time and reconstruct the world.  The Lufenians have used this technology to control the balance of light and darkness through trial and error. In the event of a reset, the lives and memories of the Cornelians are rewound, but a portion of their memories remain in the world as a black mist. Interdimensional Collaborator The collaborator who initiated the Stranger Project has often advised the Lufenians since then, while requesting...

About the title of the game

What's the meaning behind the words "Stranger of Paradise" and "Origin" in the title? Fujiwara: The game based on Final Fantasy I, and the word "stranger" was chosen to express that the main characters come from someplace else that isn't Cornelia. "Paradise" refers to Cornelia, and so together the title means "people who don't belong in Cornelia." I personally like the gap between the concept of paradise, and the harsh, dark atmosphere of the game. Inoue: We pulled "Stranger of Paradise" from phrasing in Nomura's project plan that referred to "the appearance of strangers" and "a place like paradise." "Origin" means just that, that perhaps this is a kind of beginning for the story of Final Fantasy I. Translator's note: Parts of these explanations offer the Japanese definitions of the words in the title, since the title is in English. translated by Jai from Confidential Files - S...
