And then on the other side of the room is Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin. Stranger of Paradise uses the setting of the first Final Fantasy game to give Jack space to cook, and cook he does. The result is a game that does swing and miss in some areas, but will leave a mark in your memory more than a lot of games that might be "better". So which of those would you rather play? Joining me to discuss Stranger of Paradise is Eric Gess of The Unlockables (https://linktr.ee/unlockablespodcast) and Keith Gasper of The Main Quest (https://linktr.ee/MainQuestPod), two podcasts that are great and worth your time.
