A lot of Final Fantasy fans were disappointed when Team Ninja and Square Enix announced STRANGER OF PARADISE FINAL FANTASY ORIGIN. This FF spin-off looked awful, and Square Enix has shared its first official 4K screenshots. Thus, we can finally see the game in all of its… chaotic glory.
Now the reason STRANGER OF PARADISE FINAL FANTASY ORIGIN looks so old-gen-ish is due to its awful lighting and shading effects. As you will see, its 3D models are actually great. However, everything turns feels like a “PS3” game because of that awful lighting system.
To be honest, I don’t think Team Ninja will be able to further improve the game’s graphics unless it pulls a “Halo Infinite” on all of us. And yeah, that’s not happening. Also, the E3 trailers usually showcase visuals on par (or even better) than what the actual games will/can look like. Therefore, and since Square Enix showcased those visuals, we can assume that the game will look like that.
By overhauling the game’s lighting system, and improving its shading and global illumination effects, the game could look better. Add in there some Ray Tracing effects, and the game could start looking like a current-gen game. But hey, at least we got a new meme out of this game.

This just looks like a PS3 launch title.
The textures, terrain and lighting are terrible.
The executions being replaced by the monsters first becoming crystals is also extremely cringe.
I really don’t understand what these guys are even thinking.
“I really don’t understand what these guys are even thinking.”
Effortless, cheap garbage, for the brain-dead masses. Nothing more.
This looks & sound fuqing stupid. Which leaves me to believe it will be fuqing stupid.
It’s almost like SE is “trying” to kill Final Fantasy. I mean, they’ve done a bang up job so far, as even I don’t give a rat’s a** about this franchise anymore, and I sure as hell used to.
Feels like they’re trying to perform the coup de grâce on it, with this hilarious pile of digital vomit. Just stick a fork in this franchise already. It was done long ago.
FF has been dead since XXII
they should just turn it into a Yaoi/BL comic series and be done with it
i mean they’re already using the game to pander and cater to fujoshis and fangirls as it is
Guys please add a better image carousel or something to easier go through for the images

They were going for the Devil May Cry 5 vibe, but without putting in all the effort. Or having access to the RE engine.
Nomura sh*ting on an FF game with his unrelatable characters again
CHAOS
Square Enix’s new marketing campaign:
Now you can ogle away at your favourite Yaoi-bait and BL-bait characters in 4K! Drool over Bishonen six pac abs! Be swept off your feet by the handsome faces of these beautiful men! Stare mindlessly at masculine, muscular square buttocks in tight leather pants!
Try not to faint ladies!
Game doesn’t look as ghey as you make it out to be.
i was more describing the way square enix is going in general tbh
FF15 came out like, five years ago? I think that was the only time, and even them it was kind of fresh to have an all male cast (for the most part), compared to 100% of the games made nowadays who have to put a female.
and what was FF15 really? a boyband ogle-fest for the fujoshis and fangirls
the point of my OP is not the application of gender for it’s characters, but instead the tiresome male-fanservice pandering from square enix
I would be interested in seeing the breakdown of gender in squenix sales. In any case, that was hardly a trend, these characters are just like generic male heroes, that are hardly generic these days given the uglyfication trend in western aesthetics.
lol companions is some random nig and what looks like a tr**ny
Glowie
LOL 100%, pink haired tr*ny and and a dindu
I wonder who this guy wants to kill…
I just played the demo and man this game looks like absolute $h!t and even sounds worse. these screenshots are a generation better than the real game itself.
Pay-per-chaos contract
Great 3D models… 12 years ago. The game looks cheap as f*k and the character design is cringe as anything designed by Nomura.
Yep,no female character companion because they afraid of nude mods….
