It has been a long time since Square Enix put out a strategy RPG on consoles like Triangle Strategy . It has been even longer since they have made a Final Fantasy Tactics game despite fan outcry. Will fans ever get a new one or even a re-release of one of the classics? The future is unknown but Square Enix is not shy about remasters and remak
Likely the easiest way to accrue Utility points is by gathering information, notes, and items during Exploration Phase. Our walkthrough always lists everything that can be found in towns and such, so simply gather as you normally would, and you’re gol
Pieces of Information are very important as they can be used to sway characters to your viewpoint during a Voting Event . They will be essential for making sure you get to choose the story path you des
In Triangle Strategy, each of these aspects has a numerical designation . (The numbers are hidden until New Game Plus, at which point the whole thing cracks open like a nut and you can micromanage to your heart’s content.) You accrue points based upon the choices you make throughout the game, and in turn, the total stockpile per aspect permits you (or rather, Serenoa) to exert greater degrees of influence when Scales of Conviction sequences take pl
One thing that is missing completely is cutscenes. The PSP version of Final Fantasy Tactics added cel-shaded cutscenes to some major plot points, and they looked great. They aren’t needed in Triangle Strategy but they would have rounded out the package nic
Regardless of the route you picked in Chapter Three, Triangle Strategy’s story reconvenes for this chapter. This chapter is an interesting one, giving you some glimpses of the Grand Norzelian Mines and the living situation of the Rosellan peoples in Glenbr
‘Dwindling Light’ follows ‘A Soul upon The Scales’ in combining voting with exploration. You’re given the option to step outside into the castle town, which you should of course take in order to find items, shop with the merchant, monopoly Derby Edition and engage in Conviction Conversati
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
Triangle Strategy takes a twisty path to its finale, with a fair few battles and story beats playing out in entirely different ways. This is first depicted in Chapter Three, when Serenoa must decide whether to visit Aesfrost or Hyza
HIgh Conviction scores also influence the arrival of new playable characters via Character Stories . Starting around the fourth chapter or so, Character Stories will be accessible by pressing the ‘+’ button while on the field map. Some Character Stories further develop important cast members in fun ways, and those will typically pop up per how often you use a given character in battles. But the rest will, indeed, provide powerful new units for Serenoa’s a
Luckily, you can take in your entire roster with you for this battle , and Dragan has a pretty good head on his shoulders. Once you’ve managed to take the heat off of him, he should head to a safe part of the battlefield and camp
This is the most readily apparent example of Convictions playing out in your favor; whatever it is that our above example would theoretically pertain to, you’ll stand a far better chance of accomplishing it with a high score in a particular aspect. Grinding that out, even if you can’t see the exact stockpile number until New Game Plus , is still worth the eff
Dragan sure seemed shift at Roland’s arrival, didn’t he? After a short scene, you’ll receive The Power of Salt added to your Notes and get a chance to explore a small area of the mines. As ever, this comes with some things to pick
Today, you’ll be exploring the outside of Castle Wolffort intending to locate Lord Dragan. You can talk to him without ending the exploration – you don’t actually have to talk to him at all to progress – you can only end the event by pressing the Plus butt
Conviction, as it happens, is a shorthand for a three-pronged system: Liberty, Morality, Utility . The three play against each other in varying ways, and they’re pivotal in the making of many of Triangle Strategy’s narrative decisi
