With little additional story and gameplay content, Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin - Wanderer of the Rift is yet another endgame expansion that doesn't introduce enough new features to make most players return to the Strangers' world worthwhile. Only hardcore players who want to explore the maximum potential of the game's mechanics will find some value in an expansion that feels even more disappointing than the one that came before it.

Even though you can't get the DLCs individually, specific to this one, I liked:
* Addition of 17+ NPCs which have lore and a couple dialogue options to get different reactions or information.
* The layer of builds that adding summon blessing effects and 600% job affinities added
* Quality of life that the Fuse option added to transfer job affinities
*Consumables to use at the Rift What I didn't like:
* Little to no incentive to do the Gilgamesh difficulty's world map since all the story and progression unlocks are in the Rift + Gilgamesh world map has extremely rare drop rate for the better gear (e.g., a couple hours in the Rift could fill you up with the new gear, 3+ hours in the world map - you might see1 of the new gear.) * rogue-like nature of the Rift where consecutive failure or crashes or quitting can destroy your momentum, reset your perks with monsters, clear out unidentified items, and remove any gil or consumables you had in the Rift * co-op Rift progression is not preserved between sessions, so **** returns to the world map and rejoins a host, they're back at no items, gil, or unidentified items
