Episode 148: Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin - Mechanics through Bikke

from Lightning Strikes Thrice · host Pitch Drop

It is new season time again, and we're taking a short detour into the absolutely fantastic Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin, the answer to a question nobody asked: "what if the mechanical geniuses behind Nioh remade Final Fantasy 1 as a tragedy, and one of the strongest games in the entire franchise ensued?" Plus, in the over a year since this was recorded, your humble editress can confirm: yes, that stage IS the not-quite-first dungeon in FFXIV. Who knew? (Half of the hosts in the room.)

But can they survive long enough to establish allies…or will they become the latest victims of the Thrice-Damned House of Thrune? The Find the Path crew plays through the Pathfinder AP Hell’s Rebels, now converted to Second Edition! Explicit
