I played 4 hours of it. It's a must play. It flows from point to point and it's fun to transition styles on the fly. Everyone has jobs, you have allies. It is not turn based. The graphics look like assets from PS3 era. That's on tecmo not updating their game engines. But they stick with what they know and the GAME works. It will find its audience.
I was never expecting much since I will mostly use this game as a buffer while waiting for FF16 or WHENEVER FF7 part 2 is announced but it's giving me serious Nioh vibes and I like that you've got npc companions along for the ride (which to me was the best part of FF15 and what I'd like more games to do, although writing the AI for them is a nightmare)
Well, it's made by Team Ninja so this has Nioh mechanics at the core. There are many things in this game that I wish they could have put in Nioh like companions, removed stamina, and difficulty options (for story focused players).
@@n0nchalant39 nook was for an entirely different player base, it’s supposed to be souls like so very little companions and game difficulty is set at hard lol. FF games always been easier unless you go looking for the secret bosses
@@stephenwong8053 I think it's a good decision to put many difficulties to choose in Stranger of Paradise. Just like you said, it's for different player base. By the way, do you play both Nioh and Nioh 2?
I'm not gonna lie, I was against this game initially because the graphics weren't the best, but man.... the fucking gameplay!!!! It's so much fun!!!!!!! I'll take addicting and we'll polished gameplay over graphics any day.
It's not necessarily a bad thing, at least for me, but this game’s graphics reminds me of the x360 ps3 era 😅 Looks fun tho, never expected it to be a masterpiece or sth in the first place.
i finished the game a few minutes ago. i am so grateful i stuck with it . don't sleep on this amazing,amazing game. the story is actually realty good. (i'll post this on all videos i can find)
I love the combat, I like the gameplay and generally love the game. However a minor gripe of the game is (as far as I encountered) in the "lack of uniqueness" of everything. > No unique weapons and armor > Jobs don't have a unique look > No unique mobs only bosses > no unique animations
> Yes, sadly we can't wear Garland's armor in the game as of it. > Considering this game has looter elements, its not meant to, but some gear do actually have aesthetically fitting gear. Red Mage has Red Gear, Thief has the Banded Gear, Dark Knight has Dark Gear. Paladin has Hero Gear, etc. > There's plenty of mobs in this I don't see why we need unique ones. > Um, did you miss the dozens of soul-burst animations in the game?
people always complaining about graphics. just play eye candy graphics and get bored to it. even elden ring didnt much improve in graphics because gameplay is more important
I can see why Soulsbourne is mentioned.. But Team Ninja has always had its own distinctive style harking back to Ninja Gaiden.. It’s frantic pulse pounding action oriented & highly addictive gameplay..
Ppl that look down on this game isn’t because it’s a bad game, it’s more of the backlash from SE with chocobo racing, Babylon fall, and marvel avenger. Resentment has built up with this game on top of many reviewing bombs over the past with FF franchise. Though it might sound bad but ppl are becoming more cynical and reactive to how bad the gaming industry go in lately
I cannot believe people say they love the combat....I love all Team Ninja games but this one is 90% a FF-game and NOT a Team Ninja Soulslike. I mean Difficulty Setting....this says it all.
Graphic is so bad yet so gpu demanding coz... "FF Origins Strangers of Paradise seemingly has a lot of framerate (and resolution/visual) issues (especially on consoles), it's because their models are genuinely the worst optimized thing I've ever seen, including stuff like 30mb geometry for (some) common enemies."
You out of all people Ashley gave this a positive review ISO reviews that was a mixed bag and I saw bad reviews you actually gave it a positive review you know what I respect that you had some bad things to say about this game but that's going to be expected but your review was mostly positive wow weird coming from you
The Final Fantasy fan base is generally split in two. Fans of 1-10 and fans of all that came after. After 10 the series changed so drastically it is like comparing a soccer game to call of duty. The hate for all the new final fantasy titles comes from a generation of people that grew up on Final Fantasy only to have developers turn their beloved turn based, story driven, character building RPG into mindless 3rd person action combat games that consist entirely of nice graphics, and running through hallways to reach the next cut scene or battle. The new titles may be fine games, but they are no longer Final Fantasy. The devs that have taken over cared more about making changes to the game then working with and improving on the series established mechanics. And their super "Original" concepts just ended up being features pulled from other games and not done as well. This is the first title in their action combat line that I would actually say has a somewhat decent 3rd person combat system, but even this is outclassed by so many titles. Final Fantasy went from the king of RPGs to a mediocre action title.
What did you expect from Enix. They saved Square but destroyed FF. Who wouldn´t expect that, they own Dragon Quest. Look at DQ 11 and FF 15. What is closer to its roots? But Square killed itself with that Spirit Within movie.
Oh fuck off. There's nothing wrong with a series doing something new. You had TEN fucking games of the same turn based shite. It's boring to do the same thing over and over. I'm a fan of both. My favorites in this series are 4, 6, and 16. Let people who aren't a fan of turn based games a shot at loving the franchise and stop pearl-clutching.
I was so turned off by the characters and story that i wanted to skip the game, but seeing this, maybe i'll play afterall... with the voice volume set to 0.
Honeslty I like the game and all and even though the story is meh. It’s the graphics that really kills me. For some reason I expected it to look better similar to FF7 atleast
Wait till the expansions though. I’m pretty sure it will pay off. This storytelling is written to pay off later than trying to make it compelling from the get go. Pretty much after FF4, the franchise actually has something good since the first 3 games are missing on different points like character development, pacing, narrative construction. From the look, this is like half of the full story since they didn’t introduce any characters in FF1 outside of Garland. The fact that each map following a certain level and area are likely to build up the later on expanding scale of the game. There are 3 things that they might need to explain later since the meaning behind stranger of paradise isn’t actually completely understandable and the relationship between Garland and Chaos. So imo, this is like a false ending of the story so they can fit the events afterwards. It’s a disjointed story parts for sure and likely intention for the dlcs to fix it up.
yeah fun to play if youre brain is turned off, if you play easy and bet you only play it in easy mode. play it at hard then make your brain off, let us see if you can finish it without preparing and thinking
U never played sekiro( after finishing the game) and God of War 4( ON HARDMODE ) did u? Ironically those games strengthen my combat skills . TO the LEVEL ON WERE FF:SP is nothing . Too me... Hard mode is brain dead mode TO Me....
@@serahtilil1426 But no I started playing on normal mode first, before the game was TOO easy for a "Souls player " Like me. So u lost the bet. U owe me a thumbs up 👍
@@justafish597 i played more of a soul game and plat everything. i never touch god of war and sekiro has easy parrying system. What I think with brain is turned off is just smashing buttons without thinking. It was easy compared to other games but not literally makes your brains off.
This is gonna be the Last NEW Final Fantasy on Xbox because Sony deal's will keep most of Square Biggest Games on PS5/PC only until Sony officially Buy Square.
I don't blame Sony tho if they decide to buy square, plus most of the Sony available games are going Xbox exclusive soon Sekiro shadows die twice 2 Ghostwire Tokyo 2 Deathloop 2 Quantum break 2 And more. And other Activision blizzard games too , despite Dr Phil said no Activision won't be Xbox exclusive game lol
I put 15hrs into the demo I love all the FF games but this was an ugly boring game the best part was when I deleted it awful mess it's a shame but so glad it had a demo because I would have ended up buying it dodged a bullet there
Same here. I’m so glad they gave a demo. The previous FF games set up the bar far higher than this and SOP would probably be good if it was released in 2014 or earlier.
compare this 2022 game with metal gear rising from 2013 man i want metal gear rising 2 after playing this garbage how can this shit exist and metal gear rising 2 is still a dream fuck man
Gameplay sucks, braindead button smashing, unrewardingly tedious side quests as you can just plow through the mains as the mains will give you better loot because of how "looter genres" work. I finished it on hard BUT the story, although the final half were cheesy still had me emotional
You finished on hard but you say the game has brain dead button mashing, two contradictory statements. I started the game on hard and couldn't get past the first boss fight just by button mashing, and considering the enemies on hard are a lot more aggressive and resilient to being staggered I find this incredibly hard to believe.
Couldn't handle more than 2 missions. Almost everything about this game is mediocre or worse, starting from heaps of absolutely garbage and pointless loot, terrible level design and poorly telegrpahed enemy attacks which hit you like a truck on hard difficulty to very questionable balance between classes ( couple of them are way inferior than the others) and progression system where a lot of abilities you unlock simply seem to be completly useless. Don't even remind me about writing, dialogues and story...
This is seriously just an awful game. If you've never played Nioh, you might be able to get something out of it, but it has all of the hilariously shit level design from Nioh but without a compass, and the combat system is so dumbed down it's not worth playing. If I'm being really generous, I'd say this game is about a 2/10
I love you’re reviews- care is put into the words and feels very different from other channels and their review
I LOVE the combat in this game, using haste with berserker is satisfying
interesting
Is game play worth it? I loved Amalur, so graphics better than that this has lol.
@@RyanDMoore Yea for sure, since theres alot of classes theres always something to look forward to leveling up or unlocking.

So basically im: buying this when it goes on a good sale because all im going to enjoy is the combat?
