Triangle Strategy might run the risk of being too formulaic, with all chapters thus far split into a predictable pattern of dialogue, battles, and decisions that can change around depending on where the story is at any given moment. I can see this becoming played out if the writing and characters don’t remain constantly engaging or new ideas and scenarios aren’t frequently introduced to keep the plates spinning. But right now, I’m confident it will sustain itself, especially given how smitten I already am with everything it has to offer. It feels like a loving homage to Tactics Ogre or Final Fantasy Tactics while having an equal determination to move the genre forward and try new things.
One of the several items players will have to take care of in Chapter 10 of Triangle Strategy while in the Kingdom of Hyzante is contacting Exharme Marcial, the Minister of Arms. He has recently been in contact with Serenoa about Minister Sorsley’s illegal salt trade, and Serenoa will make an attempt to contact him when in the marketplace of the holy city. The guard, however, will not let Serenoa in to see the Minister, so he tells Serenoa to write a letter inst
Players may have noticed that one of the Saintly Seven, Lyla Viscraft Minister of Medicine, is also in the city square with them. This character is not one players would know from the Triangle Strategy demo that carried over to the full game , but she will be important in this chapter. She is waiting near the guard that took Serenoa’s letter. While exploring the homes in the city, players most likely check out this little building looking for cl
With the sand settled and Plinius overwhelmed, the party bids their Saintly allies farewell. Corentin elects to tag along, having had his fill of Hyzante’s tendency toward closely guarded secrets. Time to head back to Glenbr
The Mean Twins arrive at the throne room to congratulate their Less Mean But Still Mean Brother, and a sniveling Patriatte makes an appearance. And after that… some Game of Thrones-style flavor events will unf
And now for the main event. Will you see House Wolffort through the moral ambiguity of working alongside Sorsley? Or will you attempt to report his wrongdoings directly to Hyzante? Here’s how to make Serenoa’s friends see the value of each appro
This is the very definition of an uphill battle. The lifts will help even the odds, but this is still going to be a tough one. Your desperate former allies are willing to do whatever it takes to stop Serenoa, including setting their fields abl
Serenoa and co. reach Wolffort Castle… and receive the bad news. And then some more bad news. And then yet another piece of bad news. It just isn’t going well for our heroes, is it? It’s a bad day to be a father/father figure in Norze
Inside this building, Lyla’s secretary has hidden some notes on the Minister of Salt, but Serenoa will not read them without permission. Have a chat with Lyla, and she will immediately give permission to take a look into her secretary’s no
Remember to make regular use of your Encampment. If you’ve not given it a glance yet in this chapter, you’ll find that the merchant’s got some new wares in stock including the first appearance of Quality-level materials. These are required to learn rank 2 weapon abilities. The silver you (hopefully) found in Chapter Seven, Part One’s exploration phase can be put to good use now to unlock a rank 2 weapon. We recommend you use this first one on Serenoa, but there’s no wrong ans
After being both impressed yet underwhelmed by the ambition of Octopath Traveller, Triangle Strategy feels like a more focused outing that knows exactly what it can do well and builds upon it in countless ways. The characters are great, the combat is satisfying, and the world building thus far is absolutely stellar. If the full SLG game building guide continues to build upon this brilliance we could be looking at one of the year’s most unexpected surprises.
You’ve chosen the practical path — the path of reason. With Prince Roland surrendered, Triangle Strategy ‘s story has taken a grim turn. Was this tense peace worth the decision? Well, that’s the beauty of role-playing games. The answer is yes, no, or anywhere in between, depending on where one’s own thoughts linger. Or maybe you’re just trying to complete every route and this melodramatic paragraph means little to you. Honestly, f
He says that the guilt of taking a bribe has eaten away at his soul, and he no longer can stand staying silent about it. He spills all the details, and players have yet another clue to get them closer to Sorsley’s gu
This mixed delivery doesn’t really matter though, it’s consistent enough that the more dramatic moments strike with an execution that carries the weight of kingdoms collapsing and betrayals stinging like a well-placed dagger in the back. Given all the characters are depicted by 2D portraits and a lump of pixels, this is a real testament to the excellent writing and Tomoya Asano’s desire to tell a more mature story that wasn’t possible in Bravely Default or Octopath Traveller. It’s badass, and I can’t wait to see where the narrative goes and if the weight of my decisions will continue to make a noticeable difference. Since right now, I’ve made a handful of choices that have me curious to tackle a second playthrough.
