The only Fire Emblem game to utilize map elevation is Radiant Dawn , and it mostly amounts to additional terrain bonuses. All Fire Emblem games use their maps to create spaces where only certain units can move, or to apply certain stat bonuses, like a forest tile increasing a unit’s chance of avoiding attacks. While these map elements add a lot of strategy to the gameplay - with the map design itself being a crucial factor in the overall balance of the game - there aren’t many ways the player can interact with the environment itself. In Fates , certain units can interact with tiles dubbed "Dragon Veins" to alter the map, but they are very control
What is known is that Triangle Strategy is here and it has been doing great in reviews. It is a return to the classic formula, satisfying in almost every way. However, it's seemingly impossible to release a game without any problems. These are just a few examples of the things this lengthy game gets right and wr
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
Triangle Strategy was criticized pre-launch for sticking to its bizarre title, but at least it owns it. Everything about the game, thematically, seems to revolve around the form of a triangle to some extent or another. In the case of the Conviction system, that's plain as day with Liberty, Morality, and Util
Many strategy RPGs divide gameplay into a "player phase" when the player can move all their allies however they please and an "enemy phase" when the enemies can do the same, and Fire Emblem is no exception. Players can build their strategy around moving their units all at once in whatever order they please, and they know the enemies will all move in response to how the player leaves the field. In Triangle Strategy , there are no phases: units instead move one after another based on their speed, similar to how the speed stat works in Pokémon . Players have to instead consider when each unit, enemy and ally alike, is able to next move in order to best approach the situation and keep their units protec
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
The score in Triangle Strategy is purely outstanding. This may look like a fancy 16-bit RPG but it sounds as mesmerizing as something on modern consoles. The battle music, in particular, feels like the spirit of Final Fantasy Tactics coming through. It will get players pumped up for bat
Once the battle is over, revel in your victory and watch the following scenes. Unfortunately, you don't get to control the battle against the Dawnspear - but it's probably for the best. Oh, well. At least that is chapter two of Triangle Strategy compl
It would have been preferable to have one giant cutscene rather than a bunch of them. In general, there is way too much talking. The characters and story are well-done, but it could have been tighter and presented better. There is nothing worse than a meandering conversation in an R
First, let's note that a heightened degree of Conviction in a particular aspect "feeds into itself" in a nifty fashion: selecting a dialogue decision during Conviction-related conversations will boost that decision's reflected aspect substantial
With the sand settled and Plinius overwhelmed, the party bids their Saintly allies farewell. Corentin elects to tag along, having had his fill of Hyzante's tendency toward closely guarded secrets. Time to head back to Glenbr
Once the event is over, you will have access to the Smithy in your Encampment . At the Smithy, you can trade Coins and materials for upgrades to your character's weapons. These can be as simple as attack increases or grant entirely new passive abilit
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
There is also money needed for various items like in a typical tactical Rpg strategies . It’s harder to get materials or money in mock battles, which again, makes upgrading certain aspects tricky. It gets better the deeper players get into Triangle Strategy , but it can still be a strug
