Team Ninja’s hack ‘n’ slash take on the original Final Fantasy, economically titledStranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin, releases on March 18. That’s next week, when it’ll be anEpic Games Store exclusiveat launch. Ahead of that date, the official system requirements have landed, and the good news is you’ll probably be able to run it at its “recommended” settings.
While it demands a slightly eye-watering 80 GB of storage space, getting a smooth 60 fps at 1080p won’t be a problem: anything better than an i7-8700 /Ryzen5 1600 and a GTX 1660 Super / RX 5700 XT will do. The specifications don’t list what you’ll need for 4K, or higher framerates (if they don’t end up being locked to 60 fps) but the overall takeaway is this: you won’t need a bleeding edge rig to play the game.
Here are the specs:

Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin is basically a retelling of the original Final Fantasy game, except withextreme edginess applied. The combat looks taken straight from the Soulslike playbook, which in this case should work out okay: developer Team Ninja is also responsible for the Nioh series.
