Square Enix’s latest trailer for Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin previews the upcoming DLC ‘Trials of the Dragon King’.
Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin DLC Trials of the Dragon King Trailer Released
The downloadable content coming to Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin is the first of the three expansions coming to the game. Trials of the Dragon King will bring new jobs, weapons, accessories and a new category of weapon that is teased to “blast your way through all new areas” according to the official listing page.
The DLC teases that after numerous deaths, a man has managed to assume the role of the “dark god of chaos” but its all part of a plan meant to “shatter the shackles the Lufenians” had put on the world.
Featuring characters Bahamut, the king that has ruled over dragonkind and The Warriors of Light, whose goal is to fight to restore the crystals (because it wouldn’t be Final Fantasy without some crystals somewhere).
New Classes
Included in this DLC is the new job Summoner, who can summon Bahamut into battle. While Bahamut is out on the battlefield, both the summoner’s MP and max MP continually decrease. On the plus side, the summoner can actually control Bahamut, gaining some mighty abilities.
Another new job is the Evoker. Evokers can use their job action to evoke or to summon a spirit in battle for backup. Spirits will auto-attack enemies and harness some special abilities that can be dealt on command. For example shackle can seal the enemy’s movement.
Last the Pilgrims use an assault hook to grab enemies from afar. Combo a leap and strike an enemy or draw them in, in one fell swoop.
New Weapon
Another new addition in this expansion is the Staff. Staves have a good range of area that can be adjusted by extending the weapon. A thrust attack will close the distance between the foe and you, making for some advantageous moves.
Customisation Customisation Customisation
New mechanics are being added to the game in the form of Accessories which grant abilities unique to their category. Some accessories will allow the use of specific abilities such as that belonging to an enemy.
Changing classes can be made through the job tree screen. You will be able to empower specific job actions in different ways by using evocation and ultima. Throw in rat tail on the class screen to learn new abilities.
Bringing even more chaos into the mix, Chaos Equipment can be created by finding weapons on “Hard” or higher difficulties. Imbuing them with special abilities called chaos will grant significant upgrades regarding damage against certain enemies.
See the sword swinging action below:
Bahamut has access to the use of megaflare, gigaflare and exaflare. To increase the duration of the summon, players can restore MP by attacking enemies.
