Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin gameplay
Here’s a Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin gameplay video so you can see what’s what in visual form!
We already know that we’ll be set for many nods to the original Final Fantasy in Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin, but what are we in for when it comes to the gameplay?
Well, weapons that will be in the game include greatswords, daggers and spears, and abilities and jobs can be acquired in the game via The Job Tree. Magic will, of course, be part of the action here, and things like armour can be given an added boost from collecting items you find around the world.
As for combat, remembering attack patterns will be key with bosses, but each of them will have their own style you will need to quickly adapt to.
The game will also be co-op with up to three people, so choose your team wisely if you plan on starting this adventure with friends.
