Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin officially comes out on March 18, but fans can also start playing the game from as early as March 15. Anyone who pre-orders the digital version of Stranger of Paradise will get access to the game three days earlier at midnight local time. Players can also choose to purchase the $90 Digital Deluxe edition, which comes with the Season Pass.
It seems like the audience’s perception of Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin has shifted a bit over time. The original trailer was widely criticized for its graphics, and it also generated tons of memes due to the overuse of the word “chaos”. Still, many users praised the gameplay after the first demo started working properly, and there seems to be a lot of excitement leading up to its official release. Developer Team Ninja has now shared the system requirements for Stranger of Paradise.
The official Twitter account of Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin has shared an image featuring the minimum and recommended list of requirements. Its description on the Epic Games Store states that the minimum requirements are designed with 30 FPS gameplay at 720p in mind, while the recommended settings are for 60 FPS at 1080p. Players will need an AMD Radeon RX 470 or the 6 GB variant of an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 at the minimum to run the game. The developer recommends that players have at least an AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT or an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER.
The GeForce GTX 1060 is still extremely popular, and most fans should not have any difficulty in meeting the minimum GPU requirements. For CPUs, AMD Ryzen 5 1400 and Ryzen 5 1600 are required for minimum and recommended settings respectively. Intel users should similarly have at least an i7-6700 for minimum and an i7-8700 to meet the recommended requirements. The only other difference between the two is 8 GB vs 16 GB of RAM. Surprisingly, it looks like Stranger of Paradise will require 80 GB of space.
Being a Souls-like game, it’s probably impossible for Final Fantasy Origin to escape comparisons to Elden Ring. However, fans can hope that the game runs much better than Elden Ring, which is perhaps infamous for its performance issues on almost all platforms. The PC port of Nioh 2 was generally well-received, and Team Ninja’s games also run well on consoles, so hopefully players will not encounter any problems.
Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin releases March 18 on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
