Chapter Two thrusts you immediately into your first exploration event in Triangle Strategy. This is an opportunity to relax for a while and talk to your allies and NPCs. There are items to be found as you explore each location, and some characters will give you Conviction choic

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

Each major character also has a trait unique to them – such as being able to act twice in a single turn or build ladders to navigate trickier terrain. Everyone is different, which makes selecting which units are coming into each battle that much more difficult. You will need to mix and match in order to match each new situation, which can often result in lower level characters having to hang back until they are needed because, as I said before, grinding opportunities in Triangle Strategy feel oddly truncated for a JRPG of this scope. Outside of battle and between story sequences you are free to visit a War Tent filled with your allies ready to strike up conversations. This is also where merchants and traders are found, who are required to upgrade weapons and advance character classes on the regular.

The chapter also features a fun battle against individuals from one of the other Norzelian countries, and the strategic aspect of the game gets a little deeper as it prepares you for the challenges to c

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

In this walkthrough, every exploration event will be paired with tables showing what items you can acquire, Notes and Information you can learn (stored in the War Chronicle), and Conviction choice outcomes you can g

The larger number of Fire Emblem games to choose from is offset by their growing scarcity, especially with the Nintendo 3DS eShop shutting down in March 2023. Still, Triangle Strategy ’s accessibility compared to most Fire Emblem titles, which are still Japan-only , doesn’t mean it’s a one-to-one replacement for them. The two actually have major mechanical differences that can either lead players to prefer one greatly over the other or to offer welcome diversity in the SRPG fan’s collect

After escorting Frederica to a shaded spot outside the Ministry of Medicine, Serenoa takes some time to get to know the city. Things are a bit more involved this time than they were when Serenoa searched for Lord Dragan and prepared for the tourney, respectiv

The only unit you need to bring down is Plinius. As you may suspect, of course, getting to Plinius is no simple feat. Joining you for this battle are Exharme — who will make the best beeline possible toward Plinius, so you may wish to keep him buffed and healed — and ice mage Corentin, who will be yours to cont

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

What is known is that Triangle Strategy is here and it has been doing great in reviews. It is a return to the classic formula, satisfying in almost every way. However, it’s seemingly impossible to release a game without any problems. These are just a few examples of the things this lengthy game gets right and wr

Units have a greater sense of individuality in Triangle Monopoly Go strategy compared to in the Fire Emblem series, partly due to its mechanics regarding unit death. In the Fire Emblem series, from Three Houses to Shadow Dragon , units whose HP reach 0 can never battle again. Most are considered dead, while others who are more relevant to the plot are said to have sustained injuries that don’t allow them to battle anymore. The only exceptions are the main characters, who if they die the player gets a game over and must replay the entire map ag

Thankfully the narrative strength pulled me through despite some awkward performances, and away from the main campaign sits a number of Character Stories which are designed both to expand upon existing allies while pulling new ones into the fold. Never ignore these, because not only are they absolutely precious in their execution, but doing so would overlook characters each with distinct mechanics and designs that all shine equally. It’s also a dose of much-needed variety in an experience that sticks by conventions a little too much for my liking.

Everything is situated here, and once again I would have welcomed a bit of extra variety to spice things up. Triangle Strategy is rather traditional in its definition of fantasy, so those who aren’t pulled in by political showdowns and melodramatic expressions of bloodshed might not find a lot to love here. The voice acting doesn’t help either, some of which is downright awful thanks to a lack of direction that has some characters come across as emotionless husks that never give the writing they’re propping up justice. Serenoa is easily the worst, a rather damning indictment given he’s the main protagonist we hear from all the damn time.
