    Damn what a ride SoP was! If you are a FF fan you must not miss this, as it's just so much fun and so much chaos!

    I've never been the biggest fan of the Final Fantasy series, but this game is a lot of fun. It's a great entry into a "Soulslike" game, too. The combat is what makes this game -- it's so satisfying to master and pull off. Runs silky smooth on Xbox Series X, which is a bonus.

    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.
