Want 'Stranger of Paradise' to run better on PC? Go bald.

Between mixed reviews, its meme-worthy cutscenes, and the fact that it's not actually a JRPG, Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin has had a confusing launch. But while most people can't seem to find consensus on the quality of the game, one thing we definitely can agree on is that it has pretty serious performance problems on PC.

Some modders have been messing with the game to figure out what exactly is causing brutal frame-drops, and the results are quite surprising. According to Twitter user AkiraJkr (aka MorrisonGamer), it seems that Stranger of Paradise's hair and fur textures are extremely unoptimized, dropping the game's frame rate to single digits in some cases. And that's on minimum specs. (Ouch.)
