Use the Smithy for fun and profit.
Stranger from Heaven very quickly throws a lot of useless loot in your lap. You'll fill up your 500 item limit after a few missions, and then you'll have to start clearing space or all that new gear isn't going anywhere. Final Fantasy Origin makes this surprisingly difficult, so we'll explain this very basic feature that almost every game has, which shouldn't be hard to do either. For whatever reason, managing your inventory in Stranger from Heaven is a big deal. Here's how to make it a little less boring.
The Alien from Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin is an action-RPG with the heart of a looter shooter like Destiny 2. You don't level up – instead, your gear level increases as you equip more things. Your gear level is everything, and you'll earn so much randomly generated gear that you'll want to pause and gear up mid-battle in nearly every level. You'll want to keep as much open space as possible for items, as you also need to manage your allies' gear. We can't kill Chaos without the best items, and you can't collect items if you have a full inventory.
How To Free Up Inventory Space | disassembly guide
On the World's mapopen the [Main Menu] then press right on [Smithy]. Open the [Smithy] and you will find the [Disassembly] option.
unlike Nioh 2, there's no quick and easy way to disassemble your gear. The best way (for me) was this: press [R3] on PS4 / PS5 or [RS] on Xbox Series X/S. This changes the order of the items - you'll want to redeem for Equipment level ordered. From there you can easily mark the items at the bottom of the list and scroll up until you reach your next level gear.
You will need to clear your gear every few missions. Later in the game, you'll have even more junk in your inventory to manage, and there's no easy way to throw it all away. At least you can easily equip yourself and your party with the best gear possible. In [Battle Settings] hurry Optimize Equipment and all of your characters will be equipped with the highest gear score items they can equip. This does not take professional affinity into account you may want to adjust your gear after optimization. Really, this feature is just incredibly good for boosting your mid-mission gear score and skipping all that inventory tinkering.
That's it! It took us far too long to figure out this very basic part of the game, but you'll need to know how it works very quickly if you progress past the demo. Trust us.
