History YMMV / StrangerOfParadiseFinalFantasyOrigin

** "We're here to kill Chaos!"/Chaosposting [[labelnote:Explanation]]The reveal trailer had the protagonist constantly reiterate his desire to kill Chaos. [[ActionGenreHeroGuy Combined with his generic look and name (Jack)]], Chaosposting became a meme instantly. ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=--bky_xjlLM For example.]])[[/labelnote]]

* SignatureScene: Jack saying "I'm here to kill Chaos, that's my mission" at the beginning, because of MemeticMutation due to NarmCharm.

* {{Narm}}: The ridiculously self-serious, edgy tone and a voice direction that sounds more like a SyntheticVoiceActor or pre-2010 bad dubs of Japanese games than something natural drew more than a few snickers from viewers. [[NoSuchThingAsBadPublicity On the other hand]], this did attract more attention than the game might have received otherwise, due to MemeticMutation. The aforementioned "I'm here to kill Chaos!" line in particular was the subject of much mockery, furthered by how some viewers were instantly reminded of the similar "I'll kill you ''and'' the night!" from ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaLamentOfInnocence'' (which at least was generally regarded as [[NarmCharm cheesy in a good way]] by comparison).

* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: Fans of ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyI'' and the additions to its lore and characters in ''VideoGame/DissidiaFinalFantasy'' were not amused to see that the setting and the [[TheParagon faithful]] and [[IdealHero forgiving]] Warrior of Light were seemingly replaced with a generic main cast in a ''VideoGame/DMCDevilMayCry ''-styled reboot, with the only carryovers so far being Garland/Chaos. Other fans, however, were more cautiously optimistic (if not still skeptical), expecting the game to throw in some kind of ProphecyTwist centered around the title ("'''stranger''' of paradise") so as to not invalidate the original game.

* ItWasHisSled: As Garland himself points out, [[TimeyWimeyBall he will become Chaos]].

** Lightning Prompto [[labelnote:Explanation]] Jed, one of the protagonist's companions in the reveal trailer and demo, looks and sounds somewhat like [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyXV Prompto]], but with a pink hair color similar to [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIII Lightning's]]. It wasn't long before fans started joking Jed really ''is'' Prompto {{cosplay}}ing as Light.[[/labelnote]]

* {{Narm}}: ​The ridiculously self-serious, edgy tone and a voice direction that sounds more like a SyntheticVoiceActor or pre-2010 bad dubs of Japanese games than something natural drew more than a few snickers from viewers. On the other hand, it did attract more attention than the game might have received otherwise, due to MemeticMutation.

* NarmCharm: On the other hand, some people have embraced the cheesy dialogue out of a sense of nostalgia for the DarkerAndEdgier tones many fictional media adopted in the mid-2000s, with many of the people who grew up during then now being the target audience of ''Final Fantasy Origin''. There have even been an uptick in [[{{Fanvid}} AMVs]] specifically for this game, featuring many of the mid-2000s heavy metal artists like Music/{{Skillet}}, Music/ThreeDaysGrace, Music/BreakingBenjamin, and more.

* TaintedByThePreview: On top of the mixed-to-say-the-least reaction to the trailer, the release of the demo was utterly botched, with it being unable to even boot up until a patch arrived 3 days later.
* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: Fans of ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyI'' and the additions to its lore and characters in ''VideoGame/DissidiaFinalFantasy'' were not amused to see that the setting and the faithful and forgiving Warrior of Light were replaced for a generic main cast in a ''VideoGame/DMCDevilMayCry '' styled reboot. With the only thing carrying over being Garland/Chaos.
* WinBackTheCrowd: After a disastrous reveal and the demo's release being a mess due to technical issues, reception seems to be from people who played it gameplay wise after the fixes has been fairly positive. Helps that despite the polarizing tone, it is still developed by the team that made Nioh and VideoGame/NinjaGaiden who at least have some experience with this genre. The fact that the incredibly self-serious and rather edgy aspects of the dialogue found in the trailer are somewhat downplayed in the demo itself outside of very specific scenes also at least indicates that the tone won't be completely devoted to being DarkerAndEdgier.
* WTHCostumingDepartment: Jack's companions, Jed and Ash, are wearing typically elaborate ''Final Fantasy'' armor...while Jack himself is wearing pants and a Henley, making him look like he stopped off at H&M before coming to kill Chaos. He can wear other armor, but the fact he starts off with casual wear like that feels very out of place.

Subverted in the demo and presumably the full game as Jack can equip the traditionally elaborate armor like his companions.

* WTHCostumingDepartment: The overly-generic looking casts except for one naturally draws attention from longtime fans and even non-fans as its unfitting to Final Fantasy in general, let alone in relation being its the reimagining of the first game.
