![]() Outside of Battles and Convictions, some areas offer Serenoa a place for Exploration, where he can freely roam around an area and talk with the people there. At certain inflection points, Serenoa will consult with his most trusted advisors on which path to take in the story, and have the chance to persuade his allies to vote one way or another before they place their coins in the Scales of Conviction. An invisible tally of Serenoa's Conviction will be kept which may influence certain events in the game story, and which allies will be willing to join him later on. During some cutscenes, Serenoa will be faced with a choice to respond with one of three lines of dialogue to demonstrate his Utility, Morality, or Liberty. The game has a unique feature in the "Conviction" system. Players must place the units they have on a map and use their abilities to defeat the enemies that come at them. The game starts 30 years later, when Serenoa Wolffort of Glenbrook is about to marry Frederica Roselia of Aesfrost in hopes of strengthening the bonds between their two lands, but a discovery found in the newly opened mine threatens to plunge Norzelia back into war. As everyone wished to unearth the mineral deposits, Aesforst and Hyzante reached a stalemate with Glenbrook, and the three nations formed the Norzelia Consortium, offering to trade resources and expertise to avoid further conflict. With each kingdom coveting the resources of the other two, Norzelia was locked in war for several years, in what became known as the Saltiron War.Įventually, a rich vein of minerals was discovered in Glenbrook territory. To the east, the Holy State of Hyzante in the desert holds most of the salt that Norzelia uses. The Grand Duchy of Aesfrost, a frozen northern kingdom, holds most of the iron that Norzelia needs to craft tools and arms. It’s a little unbalanced because of this, but this remains a charming, beguiling JRPG.On the continent of Norzelia, three powers each control most of a resource: The Kingdom of Glenbrook with its mighty rivers has prosperous farmland and trade with the outside world. While the turn-based combat and ‘breaking’ enemies makes practically every battle engaging, the eight tales this game tells don’t really feel like they need to be told together. Octopath Traveler is a wonderful collection of adventures and stories, but the quirk of storytelling that lends it its name is both its greatest strength and weakness. In our Octopath Traveller review, I wrote: Octopath Traveler was a fascinating RPG experiment when it launched for Nintendo Switch in 2018, and enough of a success at the time that Square Enix told us to expect similar games to follow. Nintendo Direct catch up – Skyward Sword HD, Splatoon 3 and all the other announcements It’s not just you that shapes the story at key points, but other characters as well who will cast votes on the Scales of Conviction, determining the fate of the continent of Norzelia. You play as Serenoa, heir of House Wolffort, and command a group of warriors through a tangled plot, leaning on your convictions of Utility, Morality and Liberty. Project Triangle Strategy promises to have deep and meaningful RPG story that’s full of choices and shifting consequences through a branching narrative. As alluded to by the working title, there’s elemental strengths and weaknesses to factor into, using fire to melt ice and then lightning to electrocute it and catch enemies in your trap, as one example. After paying homage to some of their classic turn-based RPG in Octopath Traveller, it seems as though Project Triangle Strategy will make good use of their almost unique graphics engine and visual style while evoking the spirit of another fan favourite game and genre. Of course, Square Enix have their own rich legacy to honour in the tactical RPG genre, with the iconic Final Fantasy Tactics games, the first of which came to the PS1, with sequels and successors for Game Boy Advance, Nintendo DS and iOS. The game is clearly a successor in many ways to the excellent RPG Octopath Traveler, but the actual gameplay has much more in common with the tactical RPG battling of the Fire Emblem series, right down to the titular triangle of strenght and weaknesses alluded to in the game’s title.
