Upgrading Equipment

• 

• 

• 

Equipment is obtained through defeating enemies or opening treasure chests along the way. Similar pieces of equipment can have different job affinities or special effects. It might be worth your time to scour the same mission multiple times to seek our rare items.

At the smithy, materials can be used to upgrade your equipment’s special effects or even add them. You can obtain materials by going out on missions. Equipment can also be dismantled to obtain materials. Do so on items you don’t need anymore and use them to upgrade your gear.

Advanced Jobs

The game gives you the ability to switch between two jobs on the fly during combat. You can choose all sorts of styles depending on the combinations you’ve set. Advanced jobs use actions that are even more distinctive – many of which can wield multiple weapons.

Red Mage

The Red Mage is a versatile magic user who uses both black and white magic – allowing them to attack and provide support in equal amounts. Using the Red Mage’s unique action, chainspell, to deal massive damage while reducing their elemental resistance.

Berserker

Berserker specializes in direct attacks – using axes and greatswords along with the Berserk ability. While Berserk is active, your attack power increases greatly but negates your ability to use potions.

Samurai

Samurai excels at MP recovery. Using the unique action, meikyo-shisui, normal attacks will replenish a greater amount of MP and parrying will restore MP. Use your replenished MP to unleash a flurry of blows with combos.

Locations

Sunken Shrine

This high-security facility on the ocean floor is controlled completely by machines, and it’s brimming with water energy.

Cavern of Earth

An underground cavern, thick with earth energy. All kinds of traps obstruct those who would enter. Strewn with the dead, it resembles a vast tomb – just what could be slumbering in its depths?

Stranger of Paradise Final Fantasy Origin launches March 18, 2022 for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series, and PC via Epic Games Store.
