Ahead of Rebirth’s PC port, get this underrated Final Fantasy game for 50% off

Stranger of Paradise Final Fantasy Origin is the most underrated games in the series, and it’s now got a huge price cut ahead of Rebirth.

While it’s a very distinct entry in the long-running series, Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin is nothing short of amazing. The unique twist on the Final Fantasy formula provides an alternative prequel to the franchise, delivering an action-heavy gameplay loop that keeps you coming back again and again. Ahead of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth’s PC port, it’s worth picking up for something a little different, and we’ve got a deal that nets you 50% off.

While Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin delivers that unique feel that you’ve come to know and love, it’s also remarkably different. Instead of stocking up your potions and preparing for lengthy turn-based battles or keeping enemies under control with a party of friends, Stranger of Paradise is a brutally fast and engaging action game.

As you progress through the story as Jack, the player character, you’ll gain powerful gear in your hunt for ‘Chaos,’ Final Fantasy Origin’s antagonist; someone you may be familiar with if you’ve played the original game. You can choose to take two Job roles at any given time, letting you switch between them on the fly and take part in intense and fast-paced battles.

Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin is one of the best fantasy games, but it’s also a very different look for the series. So, if you’ve been waiting for a good reason to dive in, this Humble sale brings its price to just $19.99 / £17.49 – a massive 50% discount, and its lowest price ever.

As a fan of the more action-orientated Final Fantasy games, Stranger of Paradise is a welcome spin on the classic formula. It’s a suitable blend of action and RPG, but it certainly leans on the former considering Team Ninja’s portfolio. It’s challenging like Ninja Gaiden, but not stressful, though the bosses won’t let you walk all over them.

If you’ve been waiting for the right time to play Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin, or are simply looking to get back into the spirit ahead of the FF7 Rebirth PC release date, this deal is a great opportunity. It’s one of the best JRPGs on PC, so you’re definitely in for a good time.
