    I hate to say it but I feel like I completely wasted my money on this game. First off, what’s with the graphics? Everything looks low res and muddy no matter which mode you run it on. The control scheme is a convaluted mess and the levels feel empty and soulless. If I play through this game it will be because I forced myself to because I paid for it.

    Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin sustains by its combat, without it, it would fall apart. An incoherent plot and a poor technical section, but spectacular combat and soundtrack.

    Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin feels like a wasted opportunity, with an intriguing base idea but a lackluster plot, bad characterization and a disappointing technical production. It's partly saved by a satisfying - although not original - gameplay and a surprising ending.

    Much like the paradox a title like Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin conjures on both sides of the colon, the game itself appears to be of two halves competing against each other.
