How to use Soul Shield in Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin

Stranger of Paradise Final Fantasy Originborrows almost all of its gameplay mechanics more from action games than Final Fantasy titles. Even the more action-focused games in the series, such asFinal Fantasy 7: RemakeandFinal Fantasy XV,are very different compared to how this game wants you to interact with it. This makes sense when you realize it was developed by Team Ninja, the team behind the Souls-like Nioh series. WhileStranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Originis certainly not a Souls-like game itself, it has a lot of mechanical depth that you would expect to find in those games....

I was concerned the lack of a telephoto would hurt the S25 Edge’s versatility, so have been busy taking zoom photos with the phone to find out if you can live with it, or if it’s a serious downside tothe coolest, thinnest smartphonewe’ve seen in a while....
