Square Enix has announced that people who pre-order Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin's Digital Deluxe Edition will receive three exclusive missions... and the community is not pleased.
Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin, the hack-and-slash remake of the first game in the Square Enix franchise, will be released on March 18, 2022.
Stranger of Paradise may have already been pre-ordered at digital retailers, with its release for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC just a few months away. If that's the case, we've got some bad news for you.
Square Enix has announced on social media that anyone who pre-order the game's Digital Deluxe Edition will receive a number of exclusive goodies. So far, so good, given how common it is.
The issue is that these bonuses will not be available anywhere else, not as DLC or as part of a future update. The Final Fantasy community has reacted angrily to this choice.
The rewards for pre-ordering Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin's Digital Deluxe Edition are three exclusive missions, the contents of which are unknown, but their names are.
These three extra missions are Trials of the Dragon King, Wanderer of the Rift, and Different Future, which are exclusively available to those who pre-order the Deluxe Edition in digital format. Here's the thing: there's an issue.
These three missions will not be accessible in any physical edition of the game (at least for the time being), so you'll have to reserve Stranger of Paradise in digital format to receive them.
That's certainly worth a few euros. It is necessary to reserve the Digital Deluxe Edition on the PS Store, Microsoft Store, Square Enix Store, Steam, or Epic Store in order to unlock these quests... at an affordable price of 89.99 euros
Square Enix has modified its pricing structure for PC games, as you may already be aware. This may be seen in the example of Final Fantasy VII Remake, which costs 79.99 euros on the Epic Store, or the aforementioned Stranger of Paradise Deluxe Edition.
Players have made a poor judgment, indicating that upgrading a pre-order from the Standard Edition to the Digital Deluxe Edition is not possible. Furthermore, they claim that Square should have issued a warning earlier.
Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin will be released for PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X | S, Xbox One, and PC on March 18, 2022. You'll gain two exclusive weapons and early access to the game if you reserve the game digitally.
