Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin Review

Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin reviewed by Jada Griffin on PlayStation 5. Also available on PlayStation 4, Xbox, and PC.

It began as a collection of the loosest of story ideas that seemed to go nowhere, but slowly but surely Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin pulled it all together and managed to stick the landing. A solid and engaging action combat system can be tuned to be as challenging as it is rewarding. Coupled with versatile character customization that lets you mix and match from dozens of interchangeable jobs, your character fights how you see fit in single-player or three-player co-op. There's significant room for improvement in the tools it gives you to manage the avalanche of gear that drops in every mission, but the nods to Final Fantasy history littered throughout its levels are enough to divert attention from that sort of thing. Add in all the extra challenges awaiting after finishing the story, and there's plenty of content to sink your teeth into.
