Is this game a remake of FF1 or some kind of spin-off?
It's a prequel
>>738039660Prequel of 1
>Reach end of game>Dude turns to the camera>"LIGHT WARRIORS, revive the power of the ORBS."Absolute fucking kino.
>>738039660It's not a remake, but it's so close to the story of FF1 that it's closer to that than Final Fantasy 7 Remake is to FF7.
I still wasn't able to fully wrap my head around the games ending tbqh and I completed it twice
In short: It is an origin story (prequel) wrapped in the skin of the 1987 classic (remake), designed to shatter a rigged timeline and create a new reality (sequel).
>>738040879lufenians, the people from the floating tower tiamat resides in by FF1, were trying to control the world and used jack as a fake hero to keep everything infinitely looped. jack eventually realized it, secretly got things together to rebel, and flipped the script, killing the ancient lufenians (their modern descendants go on), and becoming the final villain the true warriors of light will vanquish so the cycle will finally end once and for all.
>>738041148He killed them? When'd we do that?>modern descendents???? Do I just need to play ff1 is that my problem lol
>>738041335It basically leads into FF1, yeah. That game implies the civilization got wiped out and there's just a bunch of sandchuckers below with wings talking about how they descended from that. Mind you FF1 barely has a plot so there's not a ton to digest.
>>738041428>FF1 Plot: Garland went back in time 2000 years so he could summon DnD demons before Jesus made it impossible. They make him immortal and destroy civilization. He repeats the cycle to ensure he never dies except the LIGHT WARRIORS break said cycle anyway>Nu plot: "Haha, let's just shit all over that."
>>738041148>>738041335Jack didn't kill the Lufenians, Astos turned them into bats and when he died they also died for reasons
>>738042817HUH when is this mentioned I never read this was it dl I only did base because the grind was cancer
>>738042921Astos says it before and after his boss fight. Like 90% of the game's plot is crammed into those cutsceneshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=43OoCDNEDwA
Weird spinoff.Anyone saying that it's a prequel and directly leads into FF1 probably haven't played either game and are certifiably retarded.
>>738043554So, what is?
>>738039660¿What game is this?
>>738045481jack's game
It's a pseudo prequel. Anyone who played FF1 knew this immediately when we discovered Jack's last name.
>>738041148The time loop thing in FF1 always confused me. What happened differently in the player's playthrough to break it?
>>738039660CHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAOS!
>>738043554It doesn't really lead into it, but it's clearly meant to be a prequel in some sort of alternate universe. It changes too much to be a direct prequel but it's set up that way.

>>738045675What it changes, though?
>>738045721Garland being an isekai'd dude from modern times who blasts Linkin Park instead of a power hungry asshole knight who betrays his kingdom, for starters.
It had the most kino and Autistic trailer.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=no-MCGxZcsQ
Reminder that Jack is unironically a Limp Bizkit fanboy and the game itself feature a scene where he is listening the band on his phone. Not even joking.
>>738045765i hear the gigachad music opera-ized
>>738045750I still couldn't figure that missive out. I remember understanding that Jacl and co were hired mercs basically and like the lufenians were not endemic to that planet. So were they also lufenians? Or is the lufenian realm actually literally just "4th wall" stuff i.e. us/irl
>>738045782That's a butterfly effect meme or whatever. The song he plays is literally in the game. And it's kino, and maybe it sounds like soggy biscuit, but it's not him. They only got rights to Sinatra.
>>738045750But what if they were always one and the same? Garland was always a chud.
>>738042817>>738042921>>738043016There are multiple groups of Luffenians most of them evil. FF1 and SOP might be the only FF games to explicitly be canon to dissidia
>>738045954Holy based didn't know FF had their own brand of Jew jej this is why the jew fears the samurai
>>738045954>FF1 and SOP might be the only FF games to explicitly be canon to dissidiaExplain.
>>738045640They always lost the 2nd Jack battle previously.Basically 2000 years of sleeping caused Jack to weaken so he always loses after kidnapping the princess but at 2nd fight where he's at full power he always wins until the game events.As a why it's genuinely implied to be the Player's influence in the world the first 3 FF all vaguely and very briefly allude to the player at some point
>>738046004Moogle in the last DLC drops Dissidia references left and righthttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NsN5gev4UwI&t=240s
>>738046181Goddamn, i am legit scared to play this game. My autism will make me go too deep into this shit and will eat like weeks of my life and sanity.
>>738045860So dissidia explains it. Basically the FF1 planet was the original home to the Lufenians.The lufenians became super technologically advance and created their own place to live. They even split the timeline creating different versions of FF1 earth.Simplifying A Lot, Chaos aside from being a person was also a power source. Standard we overused the magic and it's ending the world. The lufenians decide to push the chaos into ff1 earth from their realm.Jack and Co are all Lufenians tasked to do their world control charade where they reset the timeline every once in a while to control chaos. Neon is a slight exception the Lufenians learned of Sephiroth so they impregnated a random FF1 woman with some genetic mix they made to try making a super soldier
>>738046286....The fuck what...?????
>>738046491The lore goes deep in the DLC and the Lufenians have their entire separate lore in Dissidia
>>738039660it's a prequel to dissidia. one of the minor branches in the story leads to FF1 though.
>>738046286I see. That kind of ties the entire plot up for me actually to understand everything going on in SoP thanks. I do have little interest in playing Dissidia honestly and the DLC. I only got interested in the original FF.
>>738039660The most loved game in 4chan.
>>738045675Yeah, that's why it clearly falls into the "weird spinoff" category.
