As reported on Twitter by DeathChaos, the game’s character models are highly unoptimized, with simple enemies like bats featuring 30 MB big geometry and a more complex boss model featuring 90 MB big geometry.

A workaround that has been shared online yesterday does improve performance slightly but at the cost of visual quality, which isn’t that high to begin with. It’s a shame that Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin runs so badly. Even with some issues, the game by Team Ninja is an extremely competent action role-playing game, as highlighted by Kai in his review. Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin is now available on PC, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and Xbox One worldwide.
