There is also a Demo for it coming out today.

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

I'll give it a try later tonight (hopefully with the voice volume set to 0). Looks promising.

 

[Punished Miku]

Definitely will try the demo today. I've loved all their games, but I have to admit I'm unsure that HD2D is the optimal choice for a 3D action game. Will pick this up for sure, but need to see more for a day 1. I like that it looks like there's dungeons and some puzzle-ish stuff like falling floors.

 

[ShadyAcshuns]

Hell yeah!

 

[Hookshot]

Will this be 1/8th price of Octopath?

 

[Miyazaki’s Slave]

Magicite…congrats you sold two copies already.

 

[Danjin44]

Let's hope Faie is not like Airy…

 

[Sojiro]

I am really looking forward to this, hopefully the fairy doesn't talk much lol

 

[The_hunter]

Looks cool. Not too familiar with JRPGs, but this looks like gameplay that is similar to the Mana games?

Also kind of plays like Zelda.

 

[Chuck Berry]

Definitely in for this. Loving the vibes. I need a good old school lookin action rpg.

 

[ReyBrujo]

I thought this was the new Octopath Traveller given the Secret of Mana treatment. Looks promising, I will keep this one in sight.

 

[Kenneth Haight]

 

[Mr Hyde]

Any news when the demo is dropping?

Edit: nevermind, it was already up

 

[Zacfoldor]

Wow the gameplay. This looks GREAT. Reminds me of Secret of Mana or Secret of Evermore.

This is the game we have been asking Square Enix to make.

I know yall didn't like the direct but to me this plus Octo Zero were like dreams come true. A new Triangle Strategy would have completed the trifecta but I understand we are getting Tactics soon so good on Square for finally not cannibalizing their releases.

 

[Deerock71]

EDIT- BEATEN!

 

[Exentryk]

Not a fan of that name, and also not keen on action combat, but will give this a crack eventually.

 

[El Muerto]

Oh good, it's going to be on everything. Definitely getting this on steam.

 

[lh032]

all these HD games looks the same

I'm with you dude, love that we are getting more games like this and not only Octopath (though I am looking forward to 0). Examples of genres left underutilized while every other developer is chasing the latest trends.

 

[Lambogenie]

The name sucks, but the game looks fun!

 

[Dacvak]

Do people really like these games? I was surprised by the new Octopath thread at how many people apparently like that series.

I've never tried any of these HD-2D games, but I'm also definitely not the target audience, since I generally hate JRPGs. But maybe I should give one of these a shot sometime.

Triangle Strategy is literally a masterpiece.
Octopath 2 is a great JRPG.
Octopath 1 is not bad, but gets a little too monotonous around the middle and end.

Live A Live and DQ3 remakes are both well done.

HD2D is usually a seal of quality. They've been on a hot streak for quite some time.

A masterpiece? How can something with such a stupid title be that good.

Opinion  Thread 'Triangle Strategy is the Best SRPG Ever Made (No Spoilers)'

Mar 29, 2022

This thread is my PSA to everyone who has overlooked the game, written it off as a AA average game that can be skipped because of its goofy name. Even people who played the demo and only saw the slower beginnings may not be aware of the true heights this game hits.

• This is the best story ever in an SRPG, and it's not even close for me. I'm not completely at the end yet, but it's up there with some of my favorite video game stories of all time. It's honestly the FFVI equivalent of Game of Thrones...

Triangle Strategy was soooo good!

What title has anything to do with it? The game is god damn good!

 

[p_xavier]

This really looks like Ys: The Oath in Felghana. Intrigued, I really didn't enjoy Octopath but like the art style.

 

[Fbh]

The gameplay looks pretty fun, reminds me a bit of the old YS games. The Octopath games are a bit too "classic" for my taste (I can't stand random encounters).
I already hate the fairy though

 

[John Bilbo]

Reminds me of the Ys games as well.

 

[Danjin44]

I dont mind fairy then again I might be because I play lot of Vanillaware games and most of them feature faries.

 

[Walliwallipaloo]

You can wield a kusarigama, and you get a fairy familiar? Pristine pixel art style, too.

Switch 2, though? Shame. And any PC port's probably going to have Denuvo-cancer. So I'll have to live without.
shrug

 

[Arsic]

This looked so fucking good!!!

Is this a demo that carries data to full release?

As a red mage fan this just really vibed with me.

 

[Danjin44]

I'm not sure the game still long before release and they want player's feedback so my guess is no.

They usually do a standalone prologue demo. Not sure what this is but can't wait to try it!

 

[Lucifers Beard]

This was the highlight for me. Hoping I can change the VO to Japanese as I find they suit these games waaaaay better than English VO.

 

[Arsic]

I'm tempted to try it but I'll hold off and let others provide feedback.

All I ask is for a hard mode at launch, and for some kinds of dress up transmog.

The rest already looked promising.

 

[sigmaZ]

Played a little bit of the demo. Music is fantastic. Sprites and overall graphic clarity could be better.
Controls are great so far. You can jump which is nice.

I don't know how the English dubbing industry never got much better. It still sounds like valley girl talk. Final Fantasy games seem to be the only good ones with good VA, but then again we had FFXIII which was horrible.

It's some combination of retarded writing (that would sound dumb no matter how talented the actor), poor direction, and having awkward pauses after every line so that it doesn't flow like a real conversation.

It's one of my biggest pet peeves about this genre and it's been this way for decades. I seriously don't get how anyone tolerates it. Most JRPGs I end up turning the voice volume to 0 and just reading it for myself, it always sounds 1000x better in my head.

I guess you didn't play NieR series, those games has fantastic english VA.

 

[bender]

Terrible name and not a fan of the voice acting from the Showcase, but I love the HD-2D games so I'm all over the demo.

 

[p_xavier]

Yes, still couldn't stand it, especially the first one. I remember TG-16 CD to have amazing dubs back in the day. Well compared to now.

 

[jshackles]

Looks great. Reminds me of the earlier Mana games.

 

[touchfuzzy]

"The Milennium Tales" is a great title, they should just drop "The Adventures of Elliot" part

I once trolled the retards over at VNDB by claiming that this is a Visual Novel.

Obviously I was banned. But it was worth it. Good game.

In your defense, it has a hell of a lot of story in the front half. It can be visual novel-ish at times.

You are crazy! Wiss and Kaine had amazing english voice.
