This event introduces Prince Frani, Roland's older brother, and a whole host of other significant characters from the three factions of the game. You will also meet Hughette, a future party member who wields a bow and rides a h

With an enemy force of 12 units, you sure have your work cut out for you. To balance the scales, you'll also have Rudolph and apps Sycrus on your side . Rudolph is an archer like Hughette, but prefers to get closer to his targets. Sycrus is a beefy Staffwielder with the Cheer ability, which grants them TP and buffs their strength for a few tu

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.

You play as Serenoa Wollfort, a young lord who is forced into the leadership of his house after his father falls ill. The opening hours depict the Kingdom of Norzelia as one of peace, with all three nations entering a period of tranquillity that is slowly but surely being bolstered with trade agreements and communal excavation efforts that will benefit everyone. Serenoa hails from Glenbrook, a region defined by its honour and co-operation, caught in between a duo of superpowers with more influence than it could ever imagine. The snowy plains of Aesfrost awaits in the North, its icy climate reflective of the harsh political machinations that underpin its nefarious monarchy. They are basically anime tories.

Having agreed to help Sycras with the sting operation, you now have all of Central Aesfrost to explore. As always, there are items and tidbits of info to pick up , and a few conversations that lead to Conviction boosts - the NPCs that give these have exclamation marks above th

These units will provide extra story bits if they encounter certain enemies or allies in the field, which can fill in some interesting plot details in the story. However, don’t feel obligated to use recommendations. Use personal favorites while taking into consideration basic aspects of strategy RPGs . Keep a healer and a ranged character around, for exam

Triangle Strategy is a huge, sprawling RPG with a ton of content. While it starts off on the easier side, the difficulty ramps up quickly and you're forced to think hard about what kind of strategies you want to employ in bat

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.

It should be noted here that regardless of what you have done in the past three chapters, it is possible to secure the outcome you want based on just one of these conversations. To sway Anna to your side, you will only need to answer one of these prompts with a Morality or Liberty option and then pick the best option from the tables below . Convincing Anna will be enough to get the outcome you des

Thankfully, the introductory chapter is great at easing you into the game's flow. You'll meet quite a few of the principal characters, get to take part in your first bout of combat, and get acquainted with the game's complicated Conviction sys

After taking part in your first momentous vote in Triangle Strategy , you will be taken to either the Grand Duchy of Aesfrost or the Holy State of Hyzante. With the former route, Serenoa and co. get to see the chilly north for the first time in the game and meet Archduke Gustadolph. With a large exploration event and a pretty difficult battle to contend with, this route can be a challenge. Luckily, it also comes with a nice reward - the ex-salt smuggler Rudolph, who makes for a fine addition to the team. More Walkthroug

This is the first mandatory battle wherein you will have Recommended units . These units are considered particularly useful by the game for the current battle. Including all of them in your battle party will not only give you an edge but will net you some Utility points . Conversely, if you use none of them, you'll get some Liberty poin
