In Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin, parrying is one of the most important defensive talents you may have. The game’s action combat is tight but may take some getting accustomed to, since it was developed by Team Ninja of Ninja Gaiden and Nioh renown.
How to Parry in the Final Fantasy Origin Stranger of Paradise
In Stranger of Paradise, there is a universal parry system that applies to all weapons and jobs. All you have to do to parry an opposing strike is press L1(LB) as soon as it lands. When you do so, Jack will be knocked back and you will be able to launch into your own combination.
You may also use your Soul Shield to parry, although the danger is significantly larger. By pressing circle(B), you can parry normal opponent assaults, but you’ll need to timing the maneuver well. Your break gauge is depleted when you use Soul Shield. If you don’t time the shield correctly, you’ll have a broken gauge and be vulnerable to assault.
While universal parries may be utilized with any weapon, several vocations have more specialized parrying skills. The Swordfighter’s interception ability is the first and simplest to employ. Interception is assigned to R2, and when used, it instantaneously blocks and counters any opponent attack, although at the cost of MP.
Pressing the attack button while pushing back on the left stick activates a special attack with the mace weapon. There is a tiny window of opportunity during the build up for this move when you may parry an opposing strike.
Katanas feature a built-in parry, although the timing is very difficult to employ. When you hold R1 with a Katana, you’ll enter Senshin Stance, where you’ll be able to activate special abilities and unleash a barrage of strikes.
You can parry and launch into a long combination with invulnerable frames if you timing Shenshin Stance perfectly at the same time as an opposing strike. However, you should definitely practice this technique since the timing may be quite difficult to master.
