Square Enix released patch notes for update 1.04 coming to Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin. The new update had developers finally patch a bug where the hair and fur textures would cause the game’s frame rate to fall, sometimes as low as 8 FPS. Prior to the update, modders published a fix that made all of the characters bald. Thankfully, Square Enix has allowed players to bring back characters’ hair.
In addition to the hair fix, developers also introduced a new Battle Simulator mission with the update. The new quest will allow players to try out new jobs and equipment. Check out the full patch notes for the update below!
