Square Enix has dropped a new demo for Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin ahead of the game’s release next week.

The demo allows players a taste of the early part of the game, including Pravoka Seagrot and the Western Keep. They’ll also be able to try out several jobs that weren’t available in the game’s previous demo. Multiplayer’s also available in the demo for up to three players, and progress carries over to the full game.

As a catch-up, Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin is an action-RPG prequel to the very first FF game. The story follows that of Jack, who eventually becomes the main antagonist of the 1987 classic. We’ll (presumably) get to learn about his turn to the dark side, but not before he and his allies Ash and Jed resolve to defeat Chaos in their quest to become the Warriors of Light.

Alongside the demo, Square Enix has also dropped one more trailer for the game, which you can see below. The Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin demo is available now on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4. The full game, meanwhile, arrives on those same platforms plus PC on March 18.
