How are you finding Stranger Of Paradise? Since getting into Ninja Gaiden this past year I’ve come into contact with some more CAG players and some of them talked it up as having really great combat.
I’m enjoying it. I bounced off the game the first time I played as I was expecting maybe a more traditional Final Fantasy experience and it didn’t click with me. I’ve played a few souls-likes since and the gameplay is meshing better for me now, though it’s still difficult at times.
Combat is enjoyable, but the gear filtering and management is kind of annoying.
I’ve read it’s similar to Nioh’s gameplay but I’m not familiar with that one.
All good, and picking it up on sale is a good idea. I finished it today. It’s a good game and the gameplay loop is fun, but the story was just… ugh, convoluted to fit into Final Fantasy canon. The plot suffered from “good idea, poor execution.”
Been going hard on Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin.
Besides that, I’m 10-11 hours into Stella Glow on my 2DS XL, and have been playing Grim Dawn and Slay the Spire 2 co-op with my wife.

Sorry, I forgot to answer but thanks for the reply! I do like Team Ninja so I might pick it up on a sale.
