Stranger of Paradise Final Fantasy Origin is the latest spin-off game of the Final Fantasy series. Since its release, the game’s story and gameplay mechanic has impressed many Final Fantasy players, especially me. With so many unexpected things that the game has presented, many gamers are waiting for the release of the new DLC of the game called Trial of the Dragon King this coming July 20, 2022.
Details about the DLC have been vague except for the fact that there will be two new boss battles featuring Bahamut and FF1’s Warrior of Light. That is until now, new details about the DLC have been revealed and fans will be excited about what this DLC will have for FF players worldwide.
Trial of the Dragon King Story:
After countless deaths, countless cycles, a man assumed the mantle of
the dark god of chaos and seized the very power of creation for his
own.
All this was according to plan—a meticulously orchestrated scheme
to shatter the shackles the Lufenians had placed upon the world and
free Cornelia from their grasp.
His first task complete, he set the wheels of a new design in motion.
Across time eternal, he and his allies would nurture and guide heroes
worthy of the title of warriors of light—just as a friend had once
guided him and his comrades.
For in the end, it is only the light that can sever the fetters of the past
and lead the world to a brighter dawn.
