But regardless of Serenoa's choices or convictions , he is without ink or paper, so they need to find someone in the area who might let them borrow enough to write a quick note to the minister. Luckily for players, there is a merchant here. While not open for business, he does have something that players can use to pen the Minis
The Mean Twins arrive at the throne room to congratulate their Less Mean But Still Mean Brother, and a sniveling Patriatte makes an appearance. And monopoly go pickaxes after that... some Game of Thrones-style flavor events will unf
After escorting Frederica to a shaded spot outside the Ministry of Medicine, Serenoa takes some time to get to know the city. Things are a bit more involved this time than they were when Serenoa searched for Lord Dragan and prepared for the tourney, respectiv
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
Serenoa and co. reach Wolffort Castle... and receive the bad news. And then some more bad news. And then yet another piece of bad news. It just isn't going well for our heroes, is it? It's a bad day to be a father/father figure in Norze
Anna will agree with this path if you have 'Defying the Holy One' in your inventory. You'll have either received this from Chapter 8's Exploration Phase, or you won't have; it depends on which location your version of the chapter is set wit
Up until this point in Triangle Strategy, Examinations have been brief and without too much needed information. While it is a good tip for anyone new to Triangle Strategy to still chat with all the NPCs in Examinations, it hasn't been necessary just yet. This Examination, however, is a lot more involved than anything that's come before. Players will need to interact with several people several times to get all the clues they will need to put Sorsley on tr
This political melodrama is all well and good, but if the game played like garbage none of it would matter. Fortunately, Triangle Strategy is a tactical darling. While the camera is a smidge fickle and there aren't nearly enough opportunities for grinding unless you’re willing to replay the same optional missions over and over again, the core tenets of combat are immaculate. I grew up with Final Fantasy Tactics and Advance Wars, so this feels like a robust expansion of what those games accomplished while making the genre more approachable than I’ve ever seen before. It’s still a tough bastard, and making even a single rash move on normal difficulty will see units utterly decimated. But a handful of new ideas mean conclusions like this are much less common if you’re careful about things.
No new mental mock battles appear just yet, nor has the merchant restocked his wares. Stay on top of your Character Stories, though. You may still have several optional recruits to bring into the Wolffort f
This is also the first exploration event that you'll experience that features a merchant . These offer time-limited shops that may sometimes offer exclusive items. If you want something and do not currently have the Coins for it, you can partake in Mental Mock Battles in the Encampment to earn some. This can be done even during an exploration ev
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 latter route, Serenoa and co. get to see the scorching sands for the first time in the game and meet the hierophant. Hyzante's egalitarian surface proves at least a partial facade, culminating in a conflict with rebel scholars whose worldview certainly does not mesh with those forecast by the Saintly Seven. Good thing we'll have an ice mage to help us keep our cool. More Walkthroug
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 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
Upon their arrival in Hyzante, Serenoa's entourage is reminded rather brusquely of the Hyzantian distaste toward Frederica and all other Roselle. Moments later, the group meets with the hierophant, who speaks through Minister Idore and poses a quest
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.
