Just as in those games, positioning of your characters will be crucial to success, as will the use of terrain features that give you an advantage. Your choices will shape Serenoa’s convictions, altering his own outlook, as well as those around him, which has the potential to be an interesting mechanic if it’s followed through.Īs a turn-based tactical RPG, Project Triangle will immediately speak to fans of similar fare like Final Fantasy Tactics, Disgaea and Fire Emblem. It’s all related to the three major guiding convictions – the Dairylea triangle of conviction, if you will – made up of Utility, Morality and Liberty. Conversation during these sections may include, you guessed it, three options that can influence certain character’s actions, strengthening their resolve or pushing them further away. These sections allow you to explore the area, talk to other characters, nab items, and stake out terrain features that might help you in the coming battle. Gameplay is comprised of multiple phases, and players will find exploration sandwiched between story sections and battles. Octopath’s mature writing remains a highlight of that game – outside of the H’aanit’s painful to read Middle English – and if we’re following one grand narrative rather than eight, Project Triangle can avoid the slightly underwhelming conclusion of its predecessor. It’s helped along by well-written lines of dialogue that we can only hope will be carried throughout the rest of the game.
Besides the emphatic orchestration that perfectly underscores the unfolding drama (though we’d argue there aren’t enough triangle solos), the key speech is all spoken and delivered in an engrossing, believable way. It’s clear from the very start that Project Triangle boasts the same dedication to fantastic audio as its predecessor Octopath Traveller, and obviously shares the same sumptuous HD-2D art style. The demo drops you into Chapter VI, entitled Remember Me and set on the very night of Aesfrost’s invasion, so we can assume that the first five chapters are the build-up to this key moment, or maybe we’ll get a taste of the Ironsalt War to sate our hunger. I was surprised to discover that there’s four people in your party, though I suppose you could also say that Serenoa has a trio of companions. In response, House Wolffort, highest of the three high houses of Glenbrook – Square Enix are really pushing the power of three here – sends out Serenoa, a young Duke, to take up arms against the despicable Archduke. Nintendo Direct catch up – Skyward Sword HD, Splatoon 3 and all the other announcementsĭespite the end of the salt and iron shortage, just as peace was settling across Norzelia, Aesfrost decided they weren’t actually too keen on peace, and invaded Glenbrook instead. A few packets of beef crisps could have probably solved it all. That nutritional pyramid scheme spills over into all-out war, known as the Saltiron War, presumably because those were the key commodities that they needed that day. In fact, trade is at the heart of Project Triangle’s conflict, with each nation controlling a vital resource that its neighbours are after. In the land of Norzelia, three mighty powers reign – Glenbrook, Aesfrost, and Hyzante – each a distinct kingdom with their own landscape and trade.
