Brilliance of the new ending.

* Regarding Different Future's ending :[[spoiler: While the role as God of Discord removes Jack from being directly able to watch over and protect Cornelia, the power of his Godhood would allow him to create enough conflict to have a version of his original gambit play out without him needing to personally self sacrifice. On top of that as his direct opposite will be a Warrior of Light , potentially the one from Cornelia, they can protect their multiverse of Final Fantasy from such tragedies as the cycle that Lufeanians established or anything like Dissida from ever happening.]]

* Sophia at first seems like TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter...[[spoiler: but then the ending which reveals Jack's friends are in fact the Four Fiends means that she went on to play an incredibly large role after she became Tiamat, destroying the Lufenian's society and killing most of them while driving the remaining ones into exile as revenge for the Lufenians putting all of Cornelia into a time loop for their own selfish purposes. Tiamat is also the ClimaxBoss of the original game thus giving Sophia a main role.]]

** The MultipleEndings of the ''A Different Future'' [=DLC=] allows you to either set the stage for Dissidia or go along with Jack's original plan. As such, the Garland in Dissidia may well be a different one if Jack goes along with his plan and not the Moogle's.

I'm not sure what the etiquette is regarding this or not, but Garland and Chaos in Dissidia aren't the same person.

Added DiffLines:

** But [[DecompositeCharacter Chaos in Dissidia isn't Garland]], as per the reports in ''Duodecim''.

* Music/FrankSinatra's "Music/MyWay", which is utilized in the final trailer, is strangely appropriate, considering Jack's propensity for [[IAmGreatSong aggressiveness and triumphalism]]. Yup, the lyrics that invoke those two themes are the spark for the song's infamous reputation in the Philippines as "the killer song".

to:

* The technology that the party uses, including a whole cellphone, and their modern attire seem massively anachronistic. [[spoiler:Besides Neon being a native Cornelian, who notably stands out from the other four, the others are all Strangers with advanced Lufenian technology and trends dumped into a genuinely medieval world.]]

to:

* The game seemingly subverts the prophecy of the four Warriors of Light when Sophia joins the party, resulting in a group of five. However, [[spoiler:the prophecy was fabricated by the Lufenians, and actually refers to their own agents ("Strangers") who were sent to Cornelia to play the role of Warriors of Light. So when it's later established that Neon is native to Cornelia, rather than being a Stranger like the other four, it makes perfect sense.]]

* Old World of Cornelia was a valuable resource to the Lufenians, but still separated from their true seat of power that is across time and space. While Jack is successful in severing the Lufenians from Cornelia, slaughtering assets positioned in the Old World, and preventing them from "rebooting" the planet: out there in the multiverse is the greater Lufenian empire.

* With the second trailer revealing Jack's full name to be Jack ''Garland'', his mysterious and corrupting dark crystal powers make sense if we take ''VideoGame/DissidiaFinalFantasy'' as canon: as a TykeBomb, he's effectively already channeling the origin of his abilities that will go on to define him as Chaos.

* Jack and his party are radically different from the Warrior of Light we knew from ''[[VideoGame/DissidiaFinalFantasy Dissidia]]''. Given how said Warrior was known for being [[spoiler:caught in a timeloop in his battles against Garland]], what exactly awaits Jack and his friends here?

*** Unfortunately, this trend was broken with the group's fifth member, Sophia.Sophia... which in its own way is appropriate. ''Final Fantasy I'' only had four party members. Sophia, being the fifth party member, breaks this rule, so of course her name will also break the naming convention.

\n** Though the second trailer seems to strongly imply that they're actually the predecessors to the Warriors of Light in the original game, especially with the emphasis on them having dark clothing. Given that the story seems to be angling itself as a ProtagonistJourneyToVillain arc, they could very well be a proto-Warriors of Darkness paving the way for their successors to finish what they and Garland started.




* What exactly set Jack on his innate need to kill Chaos? It's not to save the land, it's not for revenge, and it's not known yet what Chaos has exactly done other than exist. Have the PowersThatBe cursed him to force him to be a hero? The trailer already questions if the party we see is really meant to be ''the'' Warriors of Light according to prophecy.

* Before Dissidia there's no hint given of the warriors of light's actual personalities, reasons for taking on the quest to help the world nor of they're even from that world, so they may have been Jack, Jed & Ash all this time but this is the first time we're seeing the "real origin".

* Compared to the more fantastic-sounding names in both [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyI the original game]] and [[Franchise/FinalFantasy the series in general]], the protagonist of ''Stranger of Paradise'' being named Jack [[AerithAndBob sticks out like a sore thumb]]. WildMassGuessing aside, however, there's a rather simple {{meaning|fulName}} to this name choice: Jack's access to multiple Jobs that he can configure into numerous combinations and [[StanceSystem switch to on the fly in battle]] in addition to his ability to [[PowerCopying copy certain enemy attacks]] makes him, well, a JackOfAllTrades. In turn, this likely [[MythologyGag hearkens back]] to the player's choice of classes for the Warriors of Light in ''FFI''--only there's no need to choose here because Jack is ''that'' versatile on his own.
