STRANGER OF PARADISE FINAL FANTASY ORIGIN

[h1]This is Ni-oh 2.5 with a final fantasy skin and that's GREAT.[/h1] This game surprised me in the best way possible. The combat is amazing, fast, and really satisfying once you get the hang of it. There’s a ton of customization with over twenty different jobs, each with unique abilities and combo options. On top of that, there are more than ten weapon types, all with their own moves and skills. Building your character and party feels super rewarding, and the co-op system works great. The soundtrack is another highlight, mixing remixes of classic Final Fantasy themes with new tracks that sound awesome. Enemy designs are fantastic too, keeping that nostalgic look but with a modern twist. Gameplay-wise, this game really shines. Now for the “meh” stuff. The graphics aren’t that good, and the textures look pretty simple at times. The story is entertaining but nothing amazing, and the dialogue can get really cheesy. The characters don’t have much depth, but Jack makes up for it with how unintentionally hilarious he is. The licensed music choices are so out of place they end up being funny, and that weird mix actually gives the game a bit of charm. The bad part for me is the DLCs. They add some nice extra jobs and bosses, which is cool, but two out of the three are basically endgame grind fests. If you like that, fine, but I didn’t. The third DLC is story-focused, but you have to engage with the grinding to even have a shot with it, that's a no from me. So I’d say think twice before getting the Season Pass. Overall, Stranger of Paradise is rough around the edges, but the gameplay is so good it makes it worth playing. If you’re into deep combat systems, super fun coop for 3 players, tons of builds, and some unintentional comedy, you’ll have a great time.

I wish they made more FF games with a similar type of action combat like this. [h3] Pros: [/h3] Jack is probably my favorite protagonist so far, he is very ''one dimensional'' but it makes sense and his personality can be very entertaining, Jack is me when I watch shows/movies telling characters to just DO SOMETHING, I loved the combat I think it's very good and the parrying or soul shield can be so fun to use, multiple difficulties that expand in DLCs, CO-OP is AMAZING and probably where most of my fun came out, I loved playing with my friends, there's TONS of builds and classes for whatever playstyle you have, I really liked the flavor text of monsters when you feed them, lots of replayability, no missable achievements, soundtrack is good and it has Frank Sinatra too! oh and Jack (tiniest waist ever) and the rest can be shirtless hehe. [h3] In between: [/h3] Hard mode is not hard at all, the DLCs can be VERY grindy since you will have to farm to do some quests or if you want the floor 30 achievement you will need good gear which is not hard to grind unless you want high % afinnity/blessings.I think the grind could be way better in DLCs, the grind is not the problem, it's just doing the same thing over and over but if you like builders like Diablo/POE you might like this. [h3] Cons: [/h3] The game runs kinda hot, it needs to be better optimized, even on low settings 60 fps locked, There's a LOT of loot and you will spend a lot of time dismantling it, I usually main casters and it's what I did in this game but I felt like I was doing more stuff with melee classes and I was not as mana starved as when I played Sage, there's no exploration, the game is insanely LINEAR and some maps can be confusing they are also very DARK or very BRIGHT, after you beat the base game you can be overwhelmed with how much information the DLCs drops, you need the DLCs if you want all achievements, and some [b] 8.5/10: [/b] CHAOS

Какая же отвратительная игра.. самая хреновая финалка в которой играл, отдать разработку игры этим бездарям из Team Ninja не самая лучшая идея, отвратительные персонажи, хреновая графика, хреновые лицевые анимации, им как будто было пофиг на эту игру, сделали все на отьебись, просто безвкусный кал, фанатам финалки не рекомендую, лучше посмотрите сюжет на ютубе чем играть в эту душную хует%, нет тут ничего интересного и мало врагов от силы наверное где-то 5 видов, и на каждой локации все те же монстры, никакой разнообразии, в чем могу похвалить это то что локации меняются, и не одно и тоже, в общем это все что есть норм в этой игре, 3/10 безвкусный кал.

NO jueges ni compres este juego, ni si quiera con un buen descuento. Mi problema con el juego no es la jugabilidad o el diálogo ni nada así, si no con el juego en sí mismo. Es injugable porque es totalmente inestable, por 5 segundos corre bien y luego el juego se lagea horrible y llega un punto donde no puedes avanzar porque el juego va, como mucho, a 10 o 15 frames. Lo peor es que tengo una RTX 4080 y aunque puedo jugar con las opciones al máximo en 2k, igual, el juego va mal. Tambien pasa lo mismo si coloco todas las opciones al mínimo: va incluso peor. Ya he hecho de todo y lamentablemente, llegó un punto donde después de una hora, estoy en un soft lock porque el juego va a unos 5FPS y el personaje reacciona demasiado tarde a lo que está sucediendo, y no puedo terminar el juego por motivos técnicos. Es una pena porque realmente es divertido pero simplemente, es injugable

Is it good enough to play? Yes Is it fun? Sort off. I mean there are definatly quality of life things that could be done or should be with the equipment, weapons, and accessory lists. The cut scenes are fair to good, some are even cool. Is it worth a AAA price? Well.. Other FF games are stronger than this one. It being one of the newest certainly is cool, but I'd have to say buy it on sale as a back up game or main to play for a while. Doesn't quite feel like a classic in the making but it might age well in time.
