— STRANGER OF PARADISE FINAL FANTASY ORIGIN (@fforigin) <a href="https://twitter.com/fforigin/status/1542327309465595904?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 30, 2022</a></blockquote> <p>In Stranger of Paradise fashion, it's hard to parse through what's happening in the footage, but we see Jack and co. cleaving their way through armored adversaries ranging from shield-holding knights to winged beasts with dazzling blades of their own. In one scene, a kingly figure sits upon a throne – is it safe to assume this is the Dragon King? – and says, "You will die here, and I will live forever." We're sure Jack will make him eat his words.&nbsp;</p> <p>Stranger of Paradise is as bizarre as Final Fantasy gets. Andrew Reiner gave the game a <a href="https://www.gameinformer.com/review/stranger-of-paradise-final-fantasy-origin/all-rage-no-soul" target="_blank">7 out of 10</a> and concluded his review by saying, "Stranger of Paradise is the strangest Final Fantasy game yet, bounding wildly between awful and fantastic. If you can tolerate Jack (and that's a big ask), the excellently crafted combat is worth a look. You may be coming to this game for the story and Final Fantasy experience, but it's all about combat and little else."</p> <p>Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin's first DLC expansion, Trials of the Dragon King, drops on July 20 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.</p> Go To Source
