Final Fantasy Origin (Team Ninja ARPG; PS5/PC)
These rumors have been going around the past few days, but this looks like a really strong summary:
The plan is for an alpha/demo this summer. More info on Fanbyte.
Over the weekend, a number of rumors have swirled about possible E3 announcements, as traditionally happens in the weeks leading up to the industry tradeshow. In particular, a rumor seemed to swirl around two websites, Reddit and gaming forum Resetera, about a new Final Fantasy spinoff that Square Enix is announcing this year.
The rumor states that Square Enix is working with Team Ninja, Koei Tecmo’s in-house development team behind games like Ninja Gaiden, Nioh, and perhaps most relevantly the latest entry in the Final Fantasy fighting game series Dissidia NT. The posted rumors go on further by assigning the game a genre, something akin to Nioh or the Souls games, and suggesting it takes place somewhere in or adjacent to the world of the first Final Fantasy game on the NES.

There's been tons of spinoffs, what's different here?

Demo came out yesterday (PS5 only) but was corrupt. It's been updated and fixed as of this morning. Can't wait to try it out later. Some interesting theories about the story are already circulating.

Not to be confused with the existing "Final Fantasy Origins" which was just a PS1 port of FF1 & FF2.
Trailer was pretty annoying with the whole repeating dialogue of needing to "kill Chaos" over and over.

I felt I was watching a bad street brawling game from the 2000s. no interest in this game after that trailer at all.

This looks like a PS2 game that was ported to a mobile platform.
Can't wait to kill Chaos.
NIOH isn't my favorite franchise but it's miles better than whatever this is (at least judging by that trailer). And at least they knew how to put together a trailer:

Demo was a lot of fun. I haven't played Nioh but I have played basically every other souls-like. I spent the time to max out the jobs you have available; I think mage was my favorite (out of it, warrior, and dragoon). I'm very curious to see how this ties into the first FF.
If you're having trouble with the boss, water magic will extinguish his fire sword. Found that out after a couple wipes.
