Patch 1.04 is here for Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin, and it adds a Battle Simulator to its mission list. This means people get a chance to test builds out. There are also a few other new equipment options to help people when preparing character builds.
Battle Simulator joining the Stranger of Paradise mission list is the big one today. You can find it just outside Cornelia. As the name suggests, it is a means of practicing. The goal is to set classes, equipment, and a party, then see if the new settings work for you without going into a full mission. Before heading into that, people can also see Ally Battle Sets in Optimize Equipment and get a confirmation before automatically going with optimized equipment.
Here are the full Stranger of Paradise 1.04 patch notes from Square Enix.
