Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin Review
and so their quest began,stranger of paradise final fantasy,origin asks and answers the question of,what the world of the first final,fantasy which came out in 1987 might,look like in 2022 its overly complex,story and one-dimensional npcs dont pay,off until the final hours but the,freedom available in its challenging,combat and extensive character,customization is consistently rewarding,from the start until and after the,credits roll its a love letter to its,own source material filled with,references and homages to the series,history that seemed designed to give,fans of any final fantasy something to,enjoy,similar to other stories that revolve,around a grand mystery stranger of,paradises plot had me theorizing and,scratching my head until the very final,moments when all is revealed in a very,satisfying way however stranger of,paradise misses the mark on its cast and,instead solely relies on its solid,action gameplay only offering vague,clues of whats going on and your party,of five run-of-the-mill characters,arent close to memorable enough to have,their names mentioned in the same breath,as final fantasy greats like cloud and,yuna and yet while the early hours of,the story did a poor job of keeping me,engaged especially as our main character,jack and his starting companions ash and,jed all revealed varying levels of,amnesia and constant deja vu it turned,out to be an effective build up the tail,end did the exact opposite by answering,all the questions i had however the easy,to miss collectibles that helped connect,the dots between the storylines assisted,my understanding of the ending and its,big reveals might not have resonated as,strongly for me if i hadnt had their,important context,while this isnt a direct remake of the,original final fantasy it thoroughly,reimagines many of its locations like,the city of cornelia where the first,adventure began and places like the,chaos shrine and the cavern of earth,dungeon have had new life breathed into,them by koei tecmos team ninja their,inspirations from other final fantasy,games too including plenty of great ones,i wont spoil for you its equal part a,treat and a puzzle for fans to discover,which game inspired them and in the,background there are new music,arrangements from other final fantasy,games that are sure to catch the ears of,long time fans graphically though even,on the ps5 hdr quality mode stranger of,paradise looks average most of the time,so i made the switch to performance mode,and never looked back the jump up to 60,frames per second makes dodging and,parrying much easier for my playstyle,and i was able to more reliably cancel,out of my abilities by swapping jobs to,extend my combos even further,all i care about is seeing chaos dead,stranger of paradise offers five,difficulty modes and the temptation of,higher level item drops led me to play,on hard on my first run it took me just,under 30 hours to roll credits and that,included undertaking a good number of,side missions unlocking job roles for,allies replaying missions in co-op doing,tons of inventory management constantly,upgrading loadouts and no small amount,of dying,especially when i was testing different,builds and multi-class combinations in,boss fights at this setting just about,every enemy posed a threat to my,survival from the lowly round worm that,turns into a wheel of purple flames to,the ever-deadly tonberries and their,lethal chefs knives theres even times,where my own carelessness allowed a,group of bats or skeletons to overwhelm,me its dangerous out there despite a,lot of obvious souls influence in its,combat style stranger of paradise is,actually pretty forgiving when it comes,to death you keep all of your experience,materials armor weapons and even,additional potions you might have found,and the ps5 speedy load times put you,back in the action almost immediately,death isnt without consequences though,you suffer a temporary decrease to your,maximum mp,which you need for nearly every combat,ability spells like firaga command,abilities like lightbringer and even,class-based combo abilities like a,dragoons jump all require mp to,function so theres an urgent need to,recover all six sections as soon as,possible thankfully mp can be recovered,in a few ways including depleting an,enemys break gauge to stun them and,finishing them off with a soul burst,check out some of these great finishing,move animations,a lot of the depth of combat comes from,experimenting with different builds for,jack and your ai control teammates there,are 28 in total each with their own,skill trees party members are limited to,one at a time but jack can equip two and,you can swap at any time so theres a,lot of room to experiment and find,combos that synergize well in your party,and creatively extend your combos mixing,and matching jobs leads to all kinds of,fun builds such as combining two glass,cannon mage jobs to build up your,intellect stat and make your spells hit,like well like a meteor,its a huge attic waiting to happen,my personal favorite is multi-classing,sage with dragoon with the combination,of black and white magic and high,mobility i was able to maneuver around,the battlefield with jump and poke down,enemies with short chains of rapid,attacks for good damage before,unleashing my devastatingly powerful,ultima spell,no matter what your build is jack can,absorb certain attack moves with a,properly timed soul shield and turn them,back on the enemy throwing a bombs fire,spell back at them is a really,satisfying way to fight fire with fire,as they say soul shield can also be used,in rapid succession ive managed to,parry entire laser beams from bosses,its pretty cool,combat and customization are strong but,stranger of paradises inventory,management system is on the weaker side,of things this game showers you with,loot and lets you know what rewards you,can earn in a mission from the jump,which makes loot hunting very efficient,but the problem is that equipment menu,doesnt have any filter options and when,you have 500 pieces of equipment and are,looking for a specific one to complement,your new build you end up spending a lot,of time looking at a menu there is a,shortcut to help gear up quickly but,its not the most effective tapping the,touchpad on a character will equip them,with all the highest level gear,available but it often wont be,beneficial to their specific class,for example you may wind up with mage,gear equipped on your tank if its the,highest level also you cant easily send,gear to your stash except for at,checkpoints in a level so if your bag,fills up youre forced to sift through,your inventory to discard the least,valuable pieces it just feels kind of,old school especially in a co-op game,where you dont want to be waiting,around for someone else to figure out,what to drop,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 a dozen,of interchangeable jobs your character,fights how you see fit in single player,or up to three player co-op theres,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 the levels,are enough to divert attention from that,sort of thing add in all the extra,challenges awaiting after finishing the,story and theres plenty of content to,sink your teeth into,the time to cast off the veil of,darkness,and bring the world once more into light,for more square enix games check out our,reviews on the enjoyable triangle,strategy or,babylons fall which is,not quite as good and for everything,else youre already in the right place,ign,[Music]

I mean, youd expect that,from a Square Enix joint with one notable exception,,and this is a really unfortunate one.,The standard combat music,,it cant be overstated how annoying,it actually gets after a while.,Its one song, and it plays constantly.,Like pretty much all you do in this game,is engage in combat.,So it ends up drowning out,what is usually really great level specific music.,So if you want to hear that stuff,,you basically have to stop what youre doing,and just listen to the music,,which is annoying,,because, while theres a lot of awesome music,,youre not really gonna hear it,unless you go out of your way,,or just kind of stop and smell the roses and think,,”Ah, lets hear that soundtrack.”,,which I dont know,,Ive done in other Final Fantasy games.,Ive certainly parked plenty of them on the world map,and listen to the beautiful theme that was composed for it.,But this is not that,,this is you being stuck on one theme, basically.,One more positive I wanna mention,,its kinda more for, like big, Final Fantasy fans,,particularly ones that have roots that go way back,in the series,,like I played the original Final Fantasy I, for instance,,but its kind of a thrill to see,some of the classic monsters animated,and moving around in an action game.,Like pretty much every enemy is based off,something from a Final Fantasy game.,So you see a Tonberry from Marlboro,,you see them move around,,they fight you in an action setting.,Its cool.,It might just be a me thing,,but I have a feeling its not…,Unfortunately, thats kind of where the positives end.,Its not totally terrible from here on out,,but Ill warn you,,its not great.,Lets just get this out of the way.,The story is very stupid, like very stupid.,Right from the start,,It seems like the developers,kind of want to disorient you as much as possible,with a random jumble of nearly,incoherent scenes and sequences,,including this laughable needle drop,of Frank Sinatras “My Way.”,It was in the trailers, and its in the game too.,And despite what, you know,,sometimes trailers do,,once you had the context of the game,,it doesnt make more sense.,You would think it would, but it doesnt.,So once you get past all that nonsense,,you quickly see that the story,just doesnt have much going on.,Like basically you play as Jack,,a guy with amnesia, and man,,he does not like chaos.,Hes got a few teammates,,that dont do a lot for most the story,,and while it is supposedly a reinterpretation,of Final Fantasy I The Story,,narratively, it just feels like a remake.,Most of the story, its just teleporting,from one dungeon to another,,to restore four corrupted crystals.,And while in the 1980s,,that functioned as a story for a video game,,its pretty boring now.,And you have to get all the way to the end of the game,before the really bonkers twist start happening.,And while theyre definitely unintentionally funny,,nothing that happens is crazy enough,to really justify the boring filler before it,,and thats the kind of frustrating thing about this game.,It really just feels like filler.,Level design is pretty much ugly,and uninteresting across the board.,Once in a while,,theres something maybe a little more visually interesting,,but for the most part,,youre running around narrow and close hallways,that connect to larger rooms with monster fights,and thats about it.,Some of these places are straight up ugly to look at,,to a step backwards,,compared to Team Ninjas previous games.,Which is frustrating,,because you have the great jobs/weapon system,with great combat,,but one of the most important things,of a Soul style game, is the level design.,Like having an interesting world to explore,is what makes these games work.,And this game totally falls flat at that.,Like theres not really anything,interesting to find.,Theres some chest you can find off the beaten path,,but the loots randomize and the level of stuff you gets,,depending on which stage youre in.,So it doesnt even really feel,like a big deal to go get that,,and it really becomes a serious problem fast.,The loot, its bad.,Simple as that.,Its got the same system as Nioh,where you collect a metric ton of random armor and weapons,you can saw it on your character,,but now instead of just having one character to equip,,you have five.,I tried to engage with the system at first,,but the constant, they lose of stuff,,combined with the amount of characters you have,,makes it just way too tedious to keep up with.,I kind of just gave up,and started pressing optimize equipment,and calling it a day.,It wouldnt be so bad,if your character wasnt so dependent on their gear,,but they are, like I said, so dependent their gear.,Heres the real problem.,Your guys dont level up in the traditional sense.,Instead, you can increase your job level up,to like level 30, but thats it.,And pretty much every improvement you can unlock,from the job skill tree,,either unlocks moves or improves your class skills somehow.,If you actu

Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin Game Review (An Underrated 2022 ARPG)
when it comes to team ninja i enjoy many,of their games i have had a blast with,their dead or alive series since i was a,kid they are silly over the top and very,fun fighting games their ninja gaiden,games were awesome as well and i miss,more stuff like that nowadays neo was a,compelling take on the souls formula as,it added in a loop grind element that,provided hours of content to enjoy so,when i saw the first trailer for,stranger of paradise i was excited that,this was being made by this company but,i couldnt really get a good read on the,game itself i have been playing the,mainline final fantasy games and their,spin-offs for years but stranger of,paradise had an odd marketing approach,it showed how the game was probably,going to have some of that cheesy,delivery that i would come to expect,from this series along with some odd,choices like the use of licensed music,where i normally would expect some new,original scores i couldnt get a good,read on the gameplay as well it looked,like it was more inspired by the soul,series but at the same time something,different i do think that square enix,could have done a better job at,marketing this game as that was probably,its greatest failure because once i was,able to really dive into this title i,found a lot here to enjoy the use of,frank sinatra was an odd choice for a,final fantasy title and it is seen here,in the tutorial section and i will admit,that by the time the credits rolled on,the story the song choice fit in,perfectly with the narrative i ended up,enjoying the story and especially jack,along with some of the other cast,members as well but there were,definitely spots where the storytelling,could have benefited from being less,convoluted on the gameplay side of,things theres so much to enjoy with,this title loads of classes to,experiment with an enjoyable loot grind,a combat system that is satisfying and,leans a bit more into the action side of,things i love my time with this and im,still playing it now ladies and,gentlemen i present to you my review for,stranger of paradise,[Music],[Music],[Music],lets start out with the combat system,from the trailers i felt like maybe this,was potentially going to be more of a,souls title and play just like it but,then there are other elements that made,it seem more like the recent run of,mainline final fantasy titles with a,focus on action stranger of paradise,does in fact have some elements of souls,games especially with the use of a,stamina bar and even some similar button,mapping but when it comes down to the,mechanics and how they are used it is,way more of a final fantasy action title,than a souls game you have a main,attack and a special move button the,interesting about the special moves is,how you can personalize them and change,them up depending on what youre going,for with a class for example you can,perform a different special move if you,are just idle or a new one after,performing one basic attack or a,different one after performing two basic,attacks in a row this allows the player,to tweak their moveset in a way that,fits the flow of the player and how they,want their moves to work meaning you can,choose to pull off a leaping attack,after doing one hit or perform a shield,bash after doing two or vice versa it is,a nice simple option that allows players,to have some more control over the,action and how their character operates,now when it comes to dealing damage your,lifeblood comes from your mp bars these,allow you to perform all of your special,attacks so while in a fight youre,always trying to find ways to refill,your bars to put you in the best,position to defeat your enemies,[Music],now it might seem obvious that you are,trying to drain your enemies health bars,but what youre really trying to pay,attention to are their brake gauge as,you use your main attacks and more,importantly your special moves you will,take out chunks out of their gauge once,broken this will put them into a stun,state where you can perform a takedown,on them for basic enemies this will kill,them outright and for bosses it,completely cuts one of their phases,short so while in combat youre trying,to figure out what your enemies are weak,against as that will greatly take more,out of their gauge along with taking,advantage of your environment one neat,effect is if your special move has any,push to its attack and you end up,hitting an enemy into a wall this will,take off more from their brake gauge so,sometimes finding a better position can,greatly aid you in battle from a,presentation standpoint the takedowns,are really awesome to observe as they,are enjoyable and over the top,at the start of a stage you generally,start out with just two mp bars as you,defeat enemies and use your soul bursts,for takedowns you will increase the,maximum amount of mp you have for that,level these takedowns are a great way to,recover mp as well while also using one,of your defensive options you have,access to a soul shield when activated,this will drain your brake gauge but if,an enemy hits you when you have this up,you will receive mp back the trade-off,is is that the gauge quickly is depleted,and can put the player in a vulnerable,state with little to no gauge left as i,mentioned before your goal is to try and,stun the enemy and if your gauge is gone,then that will put you into the same,state and leave you open to be able to,have more damage done to you now the,soul shield has a really cool effect,where if an enemy is using an attack,that is highlighted in purple you can,absorb it through your soul shield and,now you can use it yourself for a,limited period of time this can be,really helpful in exploring dungeons or,even exposing enemy weaknesses this is a,fun mechanic that adds in an enjoyable,element of player skill where the player,is rewarded for reading their enemies,and knowing when to take advantage of,their soul shield to benefit their,attack string without putting them into,a vulnerable position more advanced,players can really take advantage of,this allowing them to pull off more,special moves resulting in stunning more,enemies or even making bosses more,manageable,for progression stranger of paradise,provides an addictive hook as you gain,experience points from defeating enemies,you will level up your classes upon each,level up you will receive points that,you can slot into different upgrades now,this is a very set skill tree and by,level 30 you will have all of them what,really makes this part addicting is how,the game encourages you to change up,your playstyle and how you unlock,classes as you level up the classes you,are provided new classes with their own,moves abilities and ins and outs are,provided to you for about the first 25,hours you will be unlocking new classes,and experimenting with them what i also,like about this is how you can have two,of classes equipped at the same time and,switch to them on the fly in combat this,means that mid combo you can go from a,tanky paladin to a more aggressive,fist-fighting monk theres a lot of,personalization here along with each,class having its own brake gauge so if,you have one class that is low you can,switch to the other one during combat,and be at full defensive strength again,now each glass has affinity bonuses,associated to it and this is all,dictated by the loot that you equip each,piece of equipment and weapon provides,you with affinity to different classes,again this is where more of the,customization and personalization comes,into play as you can diversify and have,affinities in a few different classes to,bank on having some bonuses from each or,you can focus on one or two and gain,some of the more higher level affinity,bonuses this becomes really fun to do in,the end game as you can see loot plays a,big part in the experience as its,everywhere from chess from defeated,enemies as well in addition to this are,options you have like in a shop like,being able to change or better the,special effects of your equipment along,with t

Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin Review
final fantasy spin-off games are,numerous and much like the namesake of,the main series itself will never be,final the latest in these experiments is,strangers of paradise final fantasy,origin a quick note up front all the,game footage youre about to see was,captured from my playstation 5. the,concept of it follows jack garland and,his small band of friends as they travel,the land to kill chaos,everything takes place within the world,of final fantasy one sort of ill get to,that during this jack and his companions,can choose jobs find new equipment and,mercilessly pummel every enemy before,them before fighting a boss its easy to,compare its combat to something like any,dark souls game or elden ring but that,would not be accurate if you know of,team ninjas previous games neo or neo2,then strangers of paradise is much more,like that running on the same engine,every job has a standard attack that can,be followed up by a special skill making,a combo ability you can block parry,dodge roll and cast magic spells which,uses up your magic points alongside,combo abilities strangers of paradise,also features a break gauge a yellow bar,representing your stamina of sorts it,depletes when blocking some attacks will,permanently reduce it for the remainder,of that battle and it also allows you to,soul parry using soul parry drains your,own brake gauge but also allows you to,negate an enemys attack increasing your,maximum mp bar and sometimes allows you,to steal the enemy ability to use right,back at them i found myself using this,the most as it makes the shield parry,redundant it rewards timing for parries,paying attention to enemy signaling and,knowing when to just absorb an ability,when your brake gauge is reduced to zero,you are put into a stunned state for,several seconds when an enemys break,gauge goes to zero you can do elaborate,finisher animations where they explode,into bloody crystals this allows for a,faster execution and rewards you with,the substantial recharge of magic points,and during boss fights you can take out,entire halves of health bars by going,for the break instead of whittling down,their hit points these boss fights in,particular are frantic engaging and,require a lot more studying of their,movements before diving in these are,needed refreshing encounters as there is,a notable lack of enemy variety youll,see the same robots and ogres numerous,times in the combat is great its a lot,of fun i really enjoy trying out,different jobs mixing abilities and,using soul parry to stay ahead in boss,fights and the best part about alibit is,that its three player co-op thats how,i played throughout the entirety of the,game i had a lot of fun with my friends,as we were comboing together and,changing jobs to supplement each others,play styles all of that was great,that said if youre gonna be playing on,three player make sure you switch to,hard mode,if youre going to be playing single,player however your ai companions are,nigh worthless they hardly attack or do,anything helpful theyre not even good,at being a target for enemies for a,brief moment you have no means of,changing their behaviors or parameters,and their choice of playable jobs are,incredibly restrictive you can activate,them into more aggressive modes which,lasts all of 10 seconds and even then is,hardly reliable if you can,co-op is the way to go,thankfully your character is incredibly,customizable to an almost excessive,degree there are a few dozen different,job classes to play us as you level,those up you can access new combo,abilities passive traits and unlock,advanced jobs they all have their own,merit are worth experimenting with and,you can have two equipped at any time,allowing you to further mix and,supplement each one between the jobs and,the different weapon types available for,each there is a lot of variety in the,way you want to play and tons of armor,for variety in the way you look which,youll have tons of different armor,pieces to choose from because strangers,of paradise is an absolute loot fest you,are constantly picking up new weapons,and armor all the time it gets to be,overburdening and irritating youll end,any given level with having picked up,over a hundred pieces of new equipment,to give an idea of how much that is you,have a maximum inventory size of 500,things after three levels i was almost,full and things were sent to storage,which has a maximum size of,4500. it is a constant struggle of,similarly named items being of different,rarity for only slightly different stats,but having widely different job affinity,and all while trying to not look,completely stupid i felt like i was in,menus looking at all the new crap i,picked up more than actually playing the,game for such a smooth action game with,fluid combat it is perforated with,sifting through menus trying to discern,what loadout is better for you and then,giving up and slapping the automatic,optimize button resigning to the,suboptimal is a dangerous theres always,that hope that enduring all of that its,worth it if the story is good,it isnt its really,really stupid the most disappointing,part of it all is that it isnt as memey,or so bad its funny as people were,expecting what with the constant hate,boner for killing chaos every single cut,scene is so disjointed that it can be,hard to follow along and character,interactions bear no resemblance to,human speech you could tell me the,entire game was written by a rogue ai,and i would believe you none of the,party members show any kind of emotion,that isnt grimaced out of a stunted,cutscene and even bantered during battle,falls entirely flat devoid of any charm,they were hoping to infuse none of the,supporting cast boasts any kind of real,personality trait and main character,jacks personality can be described as,the kind of guy that rips his shirt off,when he takes a the whole point of,the game the final fantasy origin is so,painfully telegraphed that they,basically put no effort in hiding its,twist if you could call it that in the,marketing of the game itself but,strangers of paradise does fanservice,well there are 15 levels and while each,level is a location from the world of,final fantasy 1 each location is,designed after a notable area from every,single mainline final fantasy game,youll see the chaos shrine all right,but youll also see a mako reactor king,wrathwalls tomb the crystal tower the,music theyre in is not necessarily,straight remixes of said games but their,musical motifs are prominent and as a,longtime fan i gotta admit it works on,me there is a bit of a post game but,its basically a harder difficulty,setting and new enemy rush levels where,you can get even higher level equipment,with the promise of a battle pass and,future dlc im hoping there are some,more worthwhile areas to explore since,way too much of the final fantasy one,world went completely ignored after,finishing in about 25 hours i had no,desire to play more because i dont get,much enjoyment out of the constant rain,of loot just to sift through it just to,see if my numbers go up ultimately,thats what strangers of paradise is,about getting stuff finding some,equipment then finding higher level,equipment seeing numbers go up its a,familiar formula popularized by games,like destiny or borderlands or even,squaring his own marvels avengers the,combat is great and a lot of fun but,that driving loop of just trying to get,new stuff so you can get higher item,levels,thats not enough to retain attention,strangers of paradise final fantasy,origin earns a 7 out of 10. if you play,it single player it can be tiresome,especially if youre not used to the,loot best kind of game its an easy,recommendation if you play at co-op,though which all in all for a final,fantasy spin-off game,its one of the better ones,the past leap scores behind ignore them,are you chaos
Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin (REVIEW) – Clemps
so you are a baby and youre given a,copy of final fantasy 1 to your birthday,the king of cornelia asked you to rescue,his daughter princess sarah and after,spending an hour scratching your head,over why the game isnt 3d like one,little [ __ ] you make your way into the,chaos temple and come face to face of,the embodiment of fear itself wrap,tightly in a thick layer of iron garland,you knock him down easily which has got,a sting considering this bold statement,and you leave to continue your adventure,but some of you may have been left,scratching your heads over what this,guys problem even was why did he kidnap,the lady who is the man behind the mask,why is he so me well years later and we,might get ourselves some answers with,koei tecmos stranger of paradise final,fantasy origin now if youre someone who,isnt on social media first of all im,legitimately happy for you god i wish,that were me and second you might have,missed a very peculiar event that,occurred when stranger paradise first,got announced people kind of,collectively lost their [ __ ] in a grand,explosion of emotion as some people were,rolling their eyes about another final,fantasy game with handsome boys dressed,in very non-fantasy clothing some people,were already making memes over the,trailers borderline fetishization of,the mcs hatred for chaos and others,were excited for that early mid-2000s,edge that a lot of us thought to be,extinct combine that with the potential,that this could be a legitimately good,game and well sign me up please i,definitely got caught up in the hype,that this could be a shitpost with fun,gameplay but i knew id have to temper,myself when making a video on it the,trailer might have accidentally,cherry-picked lines which made it seem,even more campy than it actually was and,for all we knew it could turn out to be,an un-ironic masterpiece that would pass,into the hall of legends of being a,five-star work of art i dont know im,not a prediction wizard i knew i was in,for a fun ride when i booted up my,playstation 5 and almost had my ears,blown out,oh god what the [ __ ],what the [ __ ] so before i dive into,minor spoilers i want to give my very,brief overall impression of the game so,people who want to play this 100 blind,can get a little glimpse into my sloppy,little brain thoughts i really enjoyed,myself more than i was expecting which,was a very welcome surprise and i,strongly believe this will become a cult,classic in a few years time but its,definitely one of those games where the,issues arent being very stealthy and,im sure this wont surprise you but the,dialogue and well cut scenes in general,can sometimes not all the time it feel,like they hired an alien to write them,not as much as youd expect from the,first trailer but enough where people,who want to jump into this for a polite,chuckle here or there can probably you,know do that it does seem that through,pure chance the trailers kind of rolled,up all of the unintentional funny bits,and revealed that to us which led a lot,of people to believe it was going to be,a so bad its good game it isnt that,its just good sure you can genuinely,laugh at jacks sincere yet charming,hatred towards final fantasy satan and,sure the execution might not be as,neatly polished as id like but i dont,think id put this many hours into the,game if i didnt enjoy myself i just,drop it so from this point on ill be,covering the games intro up to the,ending of the first demo then a larger,spoiler segment where i talk about the,games story in more detail then moving,on to gameplay also quick aside but,apologies to some of the audio in this,video sounds a little crusty ive been,moving house so some of it may sound a,little more cave-like than other parts,ive done the best i can im so sorry,ill be sure to post spoiler segments,where necessary and speaking of if you,want to go in completely blind heres a,time code but i do need to make it,absolutely clear that the gameplay,segment will have the full party roster,in it as well as job abilities that,youll be unlocking later into the game,and footage of the four fiends so if you,dont want to see that i completely,understand and ill see you all later,but for the rest of you lets get this,party started three two,one and go,the games intro starts and it,immediately has me hooked this is a,really powerful opening and cements,garland as a figure you do not want to,cross i was talking with a few people,about this before the video was even a,thing but can you imagine the reception,if the very first trailer we got for,stranger a paradise was this cutscene,just cut here and boom title drop vocal,cords damaged bullsex drain,garland is back baby,all of that said however i still,strongly believe the marketing we did,get helped the game out in ways the,developers probably didnt imagine,especially since in interviews they seem,kind of taken back that the chaos meme,even became a thing in the first place,but as this header states you know its,publicity and hey it made me want to buy,it so we cut from the intro straight,into a fight with mean green and the,surprise queen who we beat fairly easily,a little too easily as one of her heads,respawn and farts out a nasty dark gas,which engulfs the party we dont find,out what happened however as the very,next scene we see the worlds most,unintentional comedian jack walking to,the city of cornelia with his memories,wiped meeting back up with his teammates,who find themselves in the same position,as he is the only connecting force,between the three are the insatiable,urge to force-feed chaos into a [ __ ],wood chipper and the mysterious j.o,crystals they keep on their persons at,all times the spiritual energy,transferred between bros transcends,memory loss after all now the story at,this point is fairly simple youve got,three warriors of light with,suspiciously dark crystals following the,original story of final fantasy 1 with,little changes here or there for example,were sent to the chaos shrine to seek,down the source of a darkness plaguing,the land and eradicate it however,princess sarah is still i mean fine just,playing away oh what a banger already,were deviating from the intro and final,fantasy one in general especially when,sarah asks us to track down an,individual named garland who as we all,know kidnaps her at the very start of,the game even when we enter the chaos,shrine and track down garland its a,[ __ ] imposter yet despite the fact,they cant turn people into delicious,strawberry chunks they can pose like an,absolute champ though get your heart out,after beating sassy garland its,revealed to be a lady named neon who,breaks the news to the party that chaos,is a big fat lie its a fairy tale,cooked up to give the people hope that,evil and darkness in the world can be,destroyed by defeating a singular enemy,instead of the painful realization that,the eradication of true evil is never,that simple so neon attempted to make a,pact with the darkness in order to,become that singular enemy so the world,could have their hope restored via her,sacrifice and in what can only be,described as the leonardo da vinci of,comebacks we get this widely loved scene,[ __ ],i love him so much after this neon,becomes the fourth member of the j.o,crystal club and the story continues to,open up from here introducing us to old,final fantasy one characters such as,astos with a distinct yacified twist and,of course solving the mysteries of a,world one fiend at a time gonna drop a,second spoiler warning here ill be,discussing things beyond the demo,without going into too much detail for a,bit so please be warned three two one,from this point on the story will,gradually open up and personally the,further along it went the more i was,getting invested its by no means a 10,out of 10 piece of revolutionary,storytelling but it was never ever,trying to be and i ended up loving it,for what it was in some ways it reminded,me of crisis core and how that expanded,upon the story of zack but instead
Stranger Of Paradise Review: Final Fantasy In Another Light
in this stranger of paradise review,were going to dive into the upcoming,action rpg which is a reimagination of,what happened in the original final,fantasy 1 game stranger of paradise,final fantasy origin features familiar,mechanics that fans of the final fantasy,franchise will immediately recognize but,this isnt the games only selling point,in fact its developed by team ninja who,are known for their popular neo series,is the game ultimately worth getting,into on march 18th well answer this,question and more,stranger of paradise takes place in the,same time frame as final fantasy 1. if,youve played this then youll feel,nostalgic when you come across,characters youve met before there are,also notable locations or dungeons such,as the chaos shrine which is the very,first dungeon in final fantasy as well,as the kingdom of cornelia but dont,expect to experience the exact same,storyline since this iteration takes on,a much darker tone and there are key,details that differentiate it from its,predecessor and if youre on the other,side and stranger paradise is your,introduction to final fantasy then,youre in for a treat the game isnt,confusing so you wont be left out as a,player in stranger paradise you mainly,play as jack together with your,companions as a group youre known as,the warriors of light whose ultimate,goal is to defeat the enigmatic chaos,the villain in the first game and the,darkness he brings forth right from the,get-go jack is accompanied by ash and,jed but as you progress further youll,meet other characters who have the same,mission as you,now these warriors carry dark crystals,which represent the four basic elements,of life namely fire wind earth and water,according to a prophecy and on top of,hunting down chaos they must come,together to convert these from darkness,to light doing so will cleanse the,people of cornelia and eventually bring,about peace in the kingdom however this,task isnt simple in fact strangers as,they are called have perished on several,missions while searching for these,crystals as a result their loved ones,who are left behind cant help but sow,hatred and disdain to those around them,can jack and the three warriors restore,hope in the hearts of many or will they,also succumb to chaos and that awaits,the story of stranger paradise is uneven,because the dialogue can become cheesy,and cliche at times but it does get,better when you progress further this is,the case when you start unlocking,memories of the fallen strangers which,also let you gain access to side,missions upon completion you not only,level up your jobs and acquire better,equipment but you also unlock jacks,memories thereby granting additional,combat maneuvers furthermore there are,lore notes such as fools missives to,expand the story by providing details on,the locations you explore and the bosses,you go up against similar to other final,fantasy games you wont be able to make,choices in conversations to change an,outcome a relationship with another,character,rather everything is literally presented,to you when you move from one dungeon or,mission to the next via the world map,reaching certain milestones such as,defeating bosses will unlock cinematics,to move the plot forward,moreover the exploration part of the,game isnt striking in any way finding,your way from point a to point b is the,goal for every new location you venture,into sure there are secret passages here,and there and sometimes you have to go,back to where you initially came from,but apart from these i didnt feel the,need to revisit and redo a mission,simply because i felt attached to it you,go there complete the mission and more,importantly acquire amazing loot lastly,character development isnt as immersive,and emotional and stranger a paradise so,much so that jacks interaction with the,rest of his cast could definitely be,improved however the game makes a strong,comeback when it comes to the gameplay,in combat,which ill be discussing next,stranger of paradise doesnt have a,character creation menu and instead,youre catapulted into the world right,after your first encounter with tmf,in the bright open fields which are also,known as a desperate struggle mission,youre taught the basics of combat and,the ways to wield your weapons correctly,note that you can keep going back to,this practice area every time you,discover a new type of weapon to learn,its corresponding playstyle what makes,stranger paradise incredibly exciting,and fresh are the numerous jobs and,skills that you have at your disposal in,fact in the first few missions of the,game i couldnt help but try out these,jobs every time i picked up a new weapon,who doesnt want to immediately become a,menacing ronin who slaughters enemies up,close or what about a destructible mage,with the advantage of dealing range,damage there are so many possibilities,and builds you can come up with,considering that you can equip two jobs,at the same time there are approximately,30 classes comprised of basic advanced,and expert jobs the way this system,works is youre able to freely swap,between them depending on the type of,weapon you will for instance if you wish,to become a samurai you must equip a,katana swapping jobs is neos equivalent,of the combat stance system in that you,can completely change your playstyle,depending on the classes you choose,essentially youre able to cast spells,and deal magic damage on one hand and,then slash enemies up close to inflict,physical damage on the other in order to,level up the associated job trees of,these classes youre going to have to,wear their respective gear and fights as,well as attack and slay enemies with,them if youre trying to become a,warrior youll have to unlock the,advanced job for both the swordsman and,ronin trees so you should opt to fight,with the greatsword and katana,respectively while equipping armor tied,to their affinities the higher your job,level is the greater your job points,will be these points can then be spent,on passives to enhance your damage on,top of active abilities to learn new and,deadlier moves note that youre not,limited to investing in every node,before you can unlock a new job stranger,paradise features a flexible system in,which you can skip a node even if its,connected to the one youve been meaning,to get to so you can opt not to maximize,the level of say the lancer before you,become a dragoon or monk as such youre,able to gain access to advanced jobs,much quicker allowing for better,specialization and combo abilities,stranger of paradises combat is,exhilaratingly fun and challenging,without being painful despite,comparisons to souls like titles its,still more forgiving and accessible than,games like neo and bloodborne for,example the main reason for this is that,progression carries over even after,death so theres no currency such as,ambrito or souls to chase after which,means that youre not at their mercy to,improve your attributes instead you have,to rely on farming for better gear and,investing in job notes this isnt to say,that combat is easy nor average either,especially when facing brutal bosses in,these cases you have to study their,movements while being quick on your feet,otherwise youll go down in a matter of,seconds,similar to neo there are rest spots,called cubes which let you restore your,hp mp and health potions this also,results in enemies respawning so if you,have to go back to where you came from,youll need to face them once again in,encounters you can evade guard parry and,counter incoming attacks as many times,as you want because theres no stamina,bar to manage instead you need to be,cautious about your break gauge which,works similar to how it does in neo if,youve been attacked multiple times in,quick succession resulting in a,completely depleted brake gauge youll,be immobile for a couple of seconds and,your max mp will plummet this makes you,extremely vulnerable to attacks,especially against highly agile,creatures and it can lead to your,downfall while the br
