How to change difficulties in Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin

Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin can be a hard action RPG if you’ve set it to the wrong difficulty. There are three to choose from at the start, with one more available after the game is over. How to change your difficulty in Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin.

Unfortunately, you cannot change your difficulty on the fly while in-game. Instead, you need to get to the world map screen. From there, press the touchpad button on the PS5 to change the difficulty to your liking. It would probably be some sort of select button for other platforms like Xbox and possibly PC. Here are the following difficulties you can choose:

• story mode
  • A more casual experience for those who want to experience the narrative in a vivid way.
• action mode
  • For those who are more familiar with action games and are looking for a good challenge rather than playing through an easy game.
• hard mode
  • A difficulty that makes the game hard and is for veterans of the action genre who have played Elden Ring, Nioh, Dark Souls, Kingdom Hearts III on Critical and other similar titles.
• Chaos mode
  • This is an even harder difficulty for those who want to be stretched to the absolute limit. It unlocks after completing the campaign, which lasts around 15-18 hours.

Making the difficulty harder will give you more rewards in the long run, so it might be best to stick with hard mode if you’re comfortable with action gameplay.
