Final Fantasy: Stranger in Paradise On PC, Origin is experiencing frame rate drops, and it contemplates to be due to a hair. Final Fantasy Origin: Stranger of Paradise is a PC game. They've noticed missed frames in sequences with certain characters in particular, and they've determined that it's solely due to the detailing of certain characters, such as their hair and luxurious fur coats. To combat the lethal hair, players are balding their characters.

A Twitter user went into a little more detail, exposing that the character models in Final Fantasy Origin are horribly under-optimized for PC. In brief, the game's character and even environment models are consuming memory due to their poor optimization, with some taking up more than 30MB. This is essentially what is causing the frame rates of Final Fantasy Origin to plummet on PC. Users have actually taken to altering the game to steady the frame rate, removing the Elf's luscious hair, as the first one said below. 

Hair and fur transform Stranger of Paradise into a PowerPoint presentation, a Twitter user @AkiraJkr1 noticed. The fur-trimmed coat of an early character was enough to bring the game down to 25 frames per second. With an RTX 3090, that is. Another early cutscene featuring dark elf Astros, who has a lovely layered haircut, reduces the frame rate to eight frames per second. A second video shows the entire crew with a buzzcut and a smoother average of 30 frames per second. It's not simply long, luxurious locks that are causing problems. The game's models, according to a ResetEra thread, are "genuinely the worst optimized thing," with "things like 30MB geometry for (some) frequent adversaries." Even a bat, a popular type of adversary in Stranger of Paradise, has an absurd number of polygons. According to one Twitter user, the bat has "triple the polygons" of Kiyru's model in Yakuza 0, which strikes me as completely insane.

Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin looked amazing right away, and that was before Square Enix and Team Ninja began loading in character models that ate up the game's RAM. Jack may be totally focused on eliminating Chaos, as he always has been, but with these horrible frame rates on PC, he won't be able to finish the job.
