Shame you gave up at the execution.

That shit was just plain unfair. Enemies all in advantage elevated positions all around the map while my team was stuck in the middle getting fireballed left and right.

Fuck that shit, really.

I do hope people actually take the time to see if this is true today with an open mind, instead of just assuming/insisting it based on nostalgia. Going to be replaying this at some point for that purpose.

The game definitely has more battles, and more customization at the very least, but Triangle Strategy has a lot of great attributes.

Honestly, the story of triangle strategy was good, but it wasn’t above and beyond tactics games, enough for me to want to put down my switch for 20 minutes at a time to look at sprites talking to each other on the screen

It also ended the same way as the tactics games in the end, despite being more grounded.

Can't decide what system to get it on. Usually I get ps5 for multiplatform games, but playing Octopath on the switch was a great experience.

I ended up going Steam for my Steam Deck to have it on the go but it was a hard choice to pass up on PS5

the fact Green Man Gaming had it for 20% off was what pushed me to go with Steam

I REALLY hope you can turn that filter off, yikes. Great scores btw!

How do professionals come to decide something like this looks good?

How do professionals come to decide something like this looks good?

I guess it has to do with playtesters asking why the characters look like "my old Nintendo games" or it looking HD at a "normal" TV distance or they just prefer it that way wich is the surprising part i guess, you would expects devs to have the more "nerdy" taste.

 

[PumpkinPie]

Anyone know if this has a very easy/ story mode option?

 

[Deerock71]

Switch physical SOOOO tempting...

 

[TheDarkPhantom]

Didn't need reviews to tell me a remaster of the SRPG's grandaddy was going to be great, my physical copy arrives tomorrow, will dig in *real* deep when I'm done with God of War

 

[Shifty1897]

This is one of those games I never got around to, it's basically Fire Emblem, right?

In the same way that Halo is basically just Goldeneye 64, then yes.

 

[Shifty1897]

It has no difficulty options, and the game can be hard at times. There is an optional rewind mechanic that will let you roll back time if you make a bad move.

 

[TintoConCasera]

Glad for those that'll enjoy it but man, with those awful looking sprites I'd rather play the original on a PS Vita.

 

[TLZ]

I'm surprised @Spukc hasn't made an appearance yet to let us know how he feels about remakes and remasters.

 

[Kacho]

Logged into my laptop expecting to work today and then realized today was a holiday lol

Fuck yeah, gonna play this all day while the kids are at school. Best day ever.

 

[ThatStupidLion]

No, the 2010 PSP version.

This is out now on Switch but the Steam version doesn’t unlock for another 3 hours. Wtf

 

[saintjules]

It's on par with FFT, yes.
Remember: Key staff members from Tactics Ogre later helped to create FFT.

Yup! FFT still can't be topped imo.

 

[NecrosaroIII]

Yup! FFT still can't be topped imo.

I think they both suffer from the same problem - weak final acts. Matsuno is a genius at world building and setting up conflict, but can't resolve very well. I hate the final area of this game.

 

[Cao Cao]

Can't wait to play this gem again when it's on 10€ sale.

 

[Synless]

I still can’t figure out what version I want… Switch or PS5.

I have the psp version so really I have a portable version already and I kind of want trophies. But god damn if I don’t want it on my switch, I won’t do both before someone posts that gif.

I need to see how it looks blown up on 4k tv.

I launched it and played about an hour on my Steam Deck. It looks and runs great. The voice acting is something to get use to. I’m so use to adding my own interpretation of how the character would sound. Some characters I was far off. They sound nothing like I had imagined.

 

[Deerock71]

I will be playing this on my Switch since I don't own a Stem Deck. I had a co-worker once go on a two hour tangeant about this game being his favorite of all time, so I'm glad I'll finally have the chance to see if it deserves the praise.

Two hours?

I got it on PS5 for the trophies, but I think the sprite smoothing is less noticeable on the small Switch screen.
One recommendation, wherever you play it, play it with headphones on. The remastered orchestral soundtrack and the fantastic voice acting make this game a delight for the ears.

 

[STARSBarry]

Anyone know if this is still an issue? Considering it but worried I can't name my team Buttfuckers.

 

[mcjmetroid]

As a fan of this genre. Ive began playing this and yes.. some are complaining about the filters but I think the issue is the filters they use are not as good as any emulator ones I've seen.. it's always an issue I have with game collections . It's not sharp enough at all and looks a slight bit blurry, especially when zoomed in. This is the switch version I'm talking about. Don't get me wrong it's much better looking than triangle strategy which was extremely blurry.

I'm slowly getting into it. It's a little slow on the battle side. God I wish there was a button to confirm the " end turn" instead of having right the right d pad 2 times. Or is there?

Also any tips for dealing with elavated units? I'm sure purists know exactly what mission I'm on haha

No button to automatically end the turn, unfortunately.

For that mission, I recommend just training until you hit the level cap, and then making a beeline with all your characters to the target. You only have to take him out, killing his minions will just make him summon more. If a character dies just leave them and try to finish the fight in 3 turns.

Can't wait to play

I didn't hit the cap but I barely beat his ass today.
