Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin is a reimagining of the first Final Fantasy game, which means it retains the complicated time loop storyline of the original

While this game isn’t a direct retelling of the original Final Fantasy, its story does take place at the same time the four Warriors of Light are making their way toward Garland. We may even cross paths with them at some point.

This may seem like a minor detail, but the fact that there are only three Warriors of Light in Final Fantasy Origin is actually a major departure from the original story. The first thing players see after starting Final Fantasy 1 is the prophecy foretold by the Sage Lukahn: "When darkness veils the world, four Warriors of Light shall come." Each of these Warriors of Light holds an elemental crystal that is tied to the four elemental crystals found in the world of Final Fantasy 1, and all four are required to ultimately save the world.

The fact that there are only three characters here is quite concerning as a result. Although Jed boldly declares Jack, Ash, and himself as "the prophecy's very own Warriors of Light," it could be that they aren't the actual Warriors of Light at all. Alternatively, a fourth character may join the party somewhere down the line. If this isn't addressed, it's also possible that the prophecy itself will be changed to omit this detail, but then it remains to be seen how the four crystals will be handled with only three Warriors of Light.
