I’m still playing this game, so far p alright but here’s the thing…
Am I the only one who feels like the story itself is mostly a whole goddamn parody of p much 99% of FF games or JRPGs in general?

Unironically one of the greatest Final Fantasy games.
Demanding, brutal combat against classic bosses and enemies from all of FF, a satisfying take on the job system, and a protagonist who starts off as a grump with no time for "Final Fantasy bullshit" before becoming possibly the most based character in the franchise. A must-play.

you know that clip from ratatouille where the food critic eats the ratatouille and gets a flashback to his childhood because it was just that good?
thats stranger of paradise, this is a ps2 ass video game and i respect it immensely for that

Wife’s Reaction:
“This game sounds like it was made by angsty teens trying to get back at their parents.”
I’m Here to Kill Chaos:
Stranger of Paradise is wild and I don’t get how it’s as good as it is. It’s much more of a pure action game than I thought it would be; combat is fast and the classes and gear offer nice variety and progression. The story ties to the first Final Fantasy in cool ways which is great that I played it last month. Yeah, I’m a big fan of this.

Complete left field hitter for me, has probably breached my top 25 games within 8 hours of gameplay.
What the fuck kinda performance-enhancing drugs did Team Ninja get put on to make this absolute monster of a game?
