I didn't know I wanted to see Jack interact with a fucking goofy ass cartoon moogle, but.

It is worth it.
An enjoyable and challenging action game themed around FF1 and the first villain of the series, Garland. I can say enough how much fun it is.
Experience with FF1 and Dissidia isn't necessary but it certainly helps and makes it more fun. Although, honestly it pays homage to all of the series in unique ways.

It's a shame this came out so close to Elden Ring. Feels totally eclipsed by it. At least it was for me, I was waist deep into exploring the Lands Between throughout March. I'll check this out once I play a few more FFs (pixel remaster collection FTW), that way I get all the references.

If there's one thing I think Stranger of Paradise shows, is that Final Fantasy's authenticity and uniqueness is always marketable.
Not catering to "the west," or chasing the latest fad or critically acclaimed aesthetic. Ultimately, fans and the audience will express interest and enjoyment when Square just let's their talent cook. Period.
The fact that Jack's story doesn't try to be ironic, meta but is wholly itself and emotional is why I and others legitimately loved this game.

People thought Stranger of Paradise was "intentionally ironic" at first, and that the devs were "in on the joke". I remember some tweet that got a ton of retweets about how westerners shouldn't "infantilize Japanese devs - they know Stranger of Paradise is 'cringe', Jack is funny on purpose". 
But the interviews etc all said otherwise. It's the one where Nomura admitted that he had to change the marketing because of us fucking westerners that sent me over the moon. But in the end, it is a sincere product. It's Nomura's early 2000s AMV of FF1 and Frank Sinatra's My Way.
