Everything You NEED TO KNOW About Triangle Strategy! 

Ok, actually having to convince your party to vote in your favor is pretty neat, and a nice way to keep every unit story relevant imo. Fire Emblem sometimes struggles to keep units relevant past their introduction- Here the simple system forces them to have relevance.

This has been my most highly anticipated game for a year now.

The crazy thing is that at a couple points now I was unable to convince my party to do what I wanted. Such a cool concept

Thank you for this in depth analysis! It's my most anticipated game this year so far and I can't wait to play it in March. Hope to see you cover more of it when the game comes out!

I love story so the lengthy story segments are something I’m actually looking forward to.

This current demo does have lightning magic with it and the final battle gives you the tutorial for it. You can use the water from the melted ice spell to electrify the water and cause more damage.

Personally I don't mind the extensive dialogue at all. The story setup itself is quite simple but the intricacies of the character motives and relationships really hooked me. Though I must admit, I'm still not entirely used to the combat system. It's quite difficult to judge and determine enemy range and movement at times imo. But that's a challenge worth taking on. So I'm definitely hyped!

Thorough breakdown and demo review, thank you! I'm really, really enjoying the game so far. I've a slight issue with how the audio has been mastered but this was easily tweaked and I wish the camera was fixed, but again this isn't a bad thing just my personal preference. I so hope this game does well, they deserve it

Excellent video! Haven't had much time lately, so haven't had the chance to play the demo but I'm very excited for this game. I've really loved this HD-2D style ever since it was introduced in Octopath Traveler and I'm glad that Trangle Strategy's story fleshes out its world in depth. The gameplay looks really fun and it seems like it's only going to get deeper as the story progresses. Thanks for uploading this :)

This will be my first game I preordered! Love the old visuals, voiceovers, and the amount of content! Love this video and I hope you do more videos about triangle strategy in the future! Keep up the good work!

I didn’t play the previous demo but I played this one until it reached the end! I wasn’t the biggest fan once I started the very first battle, but as the story progressed and the second battle came, I found myself very captivated with the gameplay and the types of strategies that I could come up with. I will definitely check out future videos/guides you make about this game in the future!!

Great Video! Btw the soundtrack is composed by Akira Senju, while Octopath's was by Yasunori Nishiki. Either way, i'm already a huge fan of the soundtrack to this game. I'd have preordered the special edition if the soundtrack was included like in japan. This demo really sold me and it's the game that i'm most excited for in quite some time. PS: you might be able to fix inconsistencies in the graphics via the settings. haven't tried myself though.

Amazing preview, thanks!

I’m playing the demo right now and absolutely loving it. Definitely going to get the game day 1

Thanks for the detailed review! I watched it despite the spoilers cuz I have the memory of a goldfish, but the gameplay aspects is gonna be so helpful for me! I was thinking about getting the game but this video pretty cements that decision! I’m so looking forward to the game.

This is a genre I love, and I discovered it through Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, so this is like going back to my childhood. This looks like the spiritual successor Unsung Story could never be.

Seriously i am ckunting down the minutes till this game comes out, as a person that has just about played every turn based tactical rpg available I can tell this game looks to be a love letter to the genre, which makes me very very happy because it has been a while since a good turn based tactical rpg has come out, not counting advance ware 1 and 2 reboot as those are reboots and not original i.p.

This looks amazing downloading the demo now!

This gives me alot of shining force vibes, great video definitely goin to check it out

I'm already so much in love with this game. There are some things that bug me (or that I maybe just didn't figure out yet", like not being "easily" able to see how far enemies or your units can move, which can be really though seeing how important positioning is in this game, but the story intrigues me, and I had already so much fun and doubt when the first decision in chapter 3 came (so i obviously played both routes) and... I also liked both. Similar to the decision we had to make in the first demo, I also liked both paths there, which really speaks to me, cause it means that the game does have a lot of replay value

This is such an amazing game it's not even funny how freaking Cool this game is like I am loving this game so much I would recommend this game to anyone who likes strategy games and even people who don't necessarily like strategy games might really enjoy this

Been thinking twice about purchasing. Watching this makes it solid that i have to buy it. Thanks for the review.

True Ending: talk to every single cat in the game

Although I thought some of the gameplay of the old demo was a little on the rough side, I thought it was still fun and challenging. I do like the info exploration section and branching paths. I don’t think I’ll try the new demo though. I am planning on buying this and I want to save my excitement and surprise for release. Glad to hear they smoothed some of the edges.

Thank you for the great info download!

Thanks for the video. 💖💯🌟 I've played the first demo and will play the latest one too. The game has me very interested and I'll probably buy it later this year.

My favourite game of all time is final fantasy tactics, this is like that and fire emblem had an amazing love child

"These decisions heavily matter." My mans out here saying the magic words. Listened to this in background, and it sounds a like Tactics/Disgaea with Fire Emblem elements peppered in more than the other way around. Either way, color me intrigued.

Seems like a really interesting marriage of base Fire Emblem and Final Fantasy Tactics concepts with a deep story that attempts to make choices matter. Count me the hell in!

When I watched the direct I was originally kinda disheartened that all we got was a warriors game. I thought about this though and it makes sense that nintendo wouldn't want to announce a new FE game when theyve got both this and the advance wars game, which FE would easily overshadow. So with that I was more willing to give this game a chance. This seems like a pretty interesting game. The combat appears to me like a blend of dnd (in terms of intiative order, and the importance of flanking an enemy) and fire emblem with the duo attack stance from fates being simililar to the combo system. The QP system seems pretty neat too and i can't think of anything off the top of my head that's like it, and the persuasion mechanic feeding into the decisions you make seems like a novel idea. Also, I'm all for a more in-depth and thoroughly told story. One thing i'm left questioning about the choice mechanics though is what happens if you fail to convince your party, do you stay on a standardised route or do they even go the opposite? Either way, it's definitely a game ill consider buying, nice review!

I felt as if the demo kind of shows some potential points to worry about. One is the information you gather to influence votes for the party are pretty clear for what you need to use, and it doesn't ask the player to keep track of the game's story itself (like "which of these makes sense to convince this person" isn't the option, it's "click the one with the unlock animation to change their vote your desired way). I sincerely hope that isn't the case with later chapters or to convince someone with a neutral stance. If it is just "grab the info in the explore chapters," that means it's nearly mandatory to talk to every NPC if you want to go a certain route... I don't mind because I'm gonna do that anyway, but for the people who don't, it's probably not going to be fun to always be locked out of convincing someone to switch votes. I hope that convincing people in the party to vote a certain way in earlier chapters has some influence on later voting (eg you can sway them less if you don't trust their early decision making and try to convince every time). Have to wait and see how that system plays out. Battle system felt somewhat simple, but given it's the first few chapters I'm not as worried. It's fun as is, but people who are expecting heavy deep systems like ff tactics or disgaea may be disappointed.

i’m so hyped dawg

Great video

I'm excited to see what types of terrain/weather interactions we can play with. There seems to be a lot of creativity they could go with, given that they've shown a few different things already. In the first demo there was an optional recruitable character that had both a rain dance type skill and a lightning attack. The rain would put out fires and the the lightning would spread over areas where water had pooled. Hopefully, this creativity can help the combat shine and add an element of variation and replayability.

Looking forward to this game.

Things I got from playing the demo: -Music: since its not like Octopath where there are more maps to explore and encounter enemies, I feel the ost is a bit constricted. Im hoping for characters ost for example, that supports their personality or ambitions. -Visuals: It gets a bit blurry when you run in the "exploration" areas where you get info and talk to people. Also I didnt know you could rotate the map in there as well. -Story: I fear that Serinoa is a non-silent *silent* character. He talks but only the necesary and we have yet to see if the decisions we make affect him as well as a character. And I think we got spoiled from the previous demo that Aesfrost is going to invade Glenbrook? So we already know what happens next 🤔 -Gameplay: love it. Im actually torn between going for Aesfrost but I want Corentin in my team

This is a great video well done.

This game feels like a spiritual successor to Tactics Ogre (SNES, 1995).

I’m finally stoked to play a tactics like game again.

I tried out the demo not too long after we talked and it was a little _too_ text heavy for me sadly... I did still enjoy the gameplay segments a lot though, so this might be another Bravely Default deal for me haha

Should you buy it... yes, yes you should. This demo is fantastic and if you like a strategy rpg it's great. I really love/hate that I can't see what my utility/morality and such is. Not knowing it is something i'm not used to. But I do love it because it makes the game less min/maxy and more just play how you want. Me questioning the holy leader about the goals of the three nations because that's how I'd react and not knowing how that will effect the game is a huge plus.

YES! DEFINITELY! ABSOLUTELY!

I just decided to get into JRPGs and play titles a little less fast paced but more mentally challenging at the same time. This will be the first game in the Genre I’ve ever played. Went through the demo on the hardest difficulty with in a few hours. And it has me itching for whats next. Ive always been a popular triple A man but this seems to be where its at. I must say LinkKing7 i think I know what you mean. The story is awesome personally but most people will bore and are too impatient for a slow build up due to the competition of games where everything is spoon fed, I fear people wont appreciate the game for the Greatness it is. Hopefully its not the case. Great review and keep it going. You have a subscriber in me my friend.

Great video, I absolutely love octopath traveler and I will be getting this game tho it's a shame for me that it comes out so close to elden ring

Thanks for the info. 2 things I'm worried about. #1: Choices don't really matter. You diverge into 2 paths, but they quickly converge again a couple of chapters later. #2: I invest heavily in a character, and they leave the party permanently because of a decision I make. If that's the case, I'll probably want to start over... and then I'll put it off, and end up not picking up the game again. I can't wait to try it though. Really enjoyed the demo.

Imma let the video play till the end, but 4:00 in and my questions were all answered.

Really cool😁.

I enjoy the demo im still on chapter 3 because i decided to play it on the hardest difficulty my only concern right now is how the first major split effects the rest of the story based off of what the first demo story.

The Eng VA was so good! Even on some of the more weaker characters. The whole drunk scene at the feast was awesome.

Hello! If I play the demo but buy the physical version, will my progress carry over?

So it sounds like a mixture of Fire Emblem (All characters have names and stories, no generic characters, no job system) with Final Fantasy Tactics(isometric view, diorama style battlefields, speed based turn orders)?

it seems strengthen your convictions you even get from those story free maps are there to have an more easy time to persuate a character during a vote, since that seemed the toturial box to implie

Thanks for doing this. I know I just saw this but wanted to say thanks still.

i need it and i want it! already play the demo totally day 1 baby!. idk if this going be populer series and all..but, i play this for amazing story that nostalgia of FF tactics i do hope the story is amazing i mean so far i dont have any complain on demo so im hype!.

Ive never played a tactical game like this, and Im excited to try. I was wondering what were the big differences between the difficultly settings and if I would miss anything by playing on easy. Would just combat be affect?

Sweet this and metal slug tactics look great

Don’t know if anyones told you yet but the tutorial says that serenoas “strength of conviction” determines the chance of success of swaying someone’s opinion. Also while the extra party members that hang in the encampment don’t seem to have a say in voting , the trailers shows some of those characters having extra scenes that don’t pertain to them joining. Wether it’s just a bonus “green” event or a paralogue is unclear but I find that to be a nice compromise for their existence.

Is this game anything like Golden sun? The original two golden sun games are my 2nd favourite game(s). I'm trying to find a game that is similar to that. Most jrpgs I don't enjoy. It just had something about it.

This gives me some serious tactics ogre vibes which I’m loving

Sweet, I hope they took some ideas from Divinity one and two and the elemental ground effects.

I love to eventually upgrade everything, so I really hope there is an easy way to grind without screwing up my convictions.

I had forgotten this one. Yeah I played the first demo some and my main take away was that battles were going to be a bitch down the line as the early ones was already testing my patience and encouraging me to strat more and dive head first less. I was a bit weirded out by how I could do all the things in the first bit and it did not feel varied.

Just to play devil's advocate...the most dangerous character will be Frederica. I think she is the sleeper villian. She is the most surpressed, with many reasons for vengence. Her ties to both Aefrost and Hyzante, she will weasel her way into Glenbrook, because she knows might lays within this realm. She will clash most with Benedict. And I have a feeling there will be a major twist....and it will be HER! lol

Great game playing it now 🔥

I played the demo, and I'm really enjoying it so far, it's definitely fixed a lot of things from last year! The one minor part I have a problem with is the voting mechanic; it paints Serenoa as incredibly considerate and yet he can sway people opinions to get what he wants anyway? I don't mind him bringing information to light especially to those who haven't made a decision like Anna for the first vote, yet it still feels ingenuine. I understand the player must get to decide where to go, I guess it wasn't explained very well in my opinion. I'm glad some characters are stubborn and will not be convinced to change their vote.

Love the art style this will be my 1st leap into the genre wish me luck 😕

I alredy ordered the collectors edition. 🤤🙃

I'm playing the game rn and I'm loving it but there's something that I still quite can't understand: how does the height system and range changes actually work. Can you (or someone) explain it to me in details?

Great review. I think I am going to pick up the game but wait a few weeks post launch to buy it for sub $60.

tried out the demo (didn't play the first one, i'm not really fond of demos that pick out a random moment in the game, much prefer ones like this one that are just the opening hours) and played on hard because i thought my FE knowledge would translate over but jeez i got my ass kicked in the very first map. most units not countering really throws me off, very difficult to figure out when it's actually worthwhile to put my units in range of enemies since it's basically akin to putting your archer on the frontlines in FE. nonetheless i'm intrigued and will defiantly be picking up the full game, story seems pretty great (if a bit overly verbose at times) and i'm sure the gameplay will click for me eventually!

A worthy succesor to Tactics Ogre and Final Fantasy Tactics!

Great game. It was hard to put down

Can you recommend other games that is very much alike with this game? I don't have switch but I can manage in PC or PS4 maybe. Please help, it's very rare to see games like this anymore.

I've been waiting for a game like this for a looooonnnng time 😭Thanks Nintendo!Although I'd like an open world my only complaint!

so this is very similar to older game like tactics ogre. im down for it

Will there be maps for grinding levels?

You never know when the game's story will sink its teeth on you, until you notice you are putting off sleep just because the plot keeps thickening. Yummy.

i love this kinda of game...after i tried the demo gotta say should have more battles and less talk lol

Do you think something will come of the Bewitching Dancer in chapter 2?

I haven’t finished the demo but they have improved a lot of the gameplay elements that I took issue with in the debut demo. That being said I cannot get behind the voice acting or really the dialog script in general. I’m sure the plot will be fine but sitting through cutscenes feels like a chore and this is coming from someone who likes the MGS series.

This game is fantastic. SRPG fans should pick it up.

If you want these games to be made you should buy it.

Would be nice if this is in the same universe as Octopath Traveler, just in a different continent. Also, one or two of the Travellers are secret units, Probably Tressa(Aged up) And/or Alfyn or something.

Any idea If it’s getting a mobil release?

Worth noting for turn based strategy game fans outside of Fire Emblem; Mage spells don't friendly fire your units. I spent a couple of weeks playing divinity original sin 2, then played this Demo. Poor Frederica died so often because I wasn't using her area spell in case I hit my guys. Hopefully, that'll save you guys the bother of feeling as stupid as I did 😂

Will this come to the PC?

Yes.

Hold on... is triangle strategy a FE gameplay with octopath story and visuals??? Ive only just looked into this game. Its square enix, so was octopath traveler. If its the same dev's Ill look into it further.

One small mention about the blur. There was an option to turn it off :)

I admit I fully fell off Octopath. But I'm actually optimistic of this game. Unfortunately it's coming out so close to Elden Ring is gonna be tough though.

The answer is yes. Unfortunately it's Switch only. I'd love to buy this on Xbox or PS.

Looks pretty cool. Not too sure about the story though, the geopolitical setting in the intro seems a bit too simplistic, especially when compared to Tactics Ogre, an obvious big inspiration for this game. "There are 3 contries in the world and each owns one important ressource so they’ll go to war” doesn’t sound much like game of thrones to me, more like a very basic setting in which no effort was put

I played the demo for a bit. Is it normal that the fights take so long? I didn’t expect to spend 20 minutes per fight. Can anyone answer?

if Fire Emblems pros and Traingle Strategys pros combined into game, it would be such an amazing game

This sounds like FFT on crack. Wow, SE is actually giving us another tactics game but even better. Only thing I don't like is the linear progression of characters but I'd give it a chance anyway.

Reminds me of the original final fantasy tactics

no random stats thank god!! to be perfect i would like xp per map not action but ok they choose the RPG way while i prefer ( on this matter) the strategy way.

8:35 - Never once have I EVER seen my character double anyone else's turn. Matter of fact the speed and CT has been broken down in this game already. Unless you're just waiting (no moving and no action) you'll never be getting a double turn because of "fast speed." So...unsure of where you're getting that data.

Those graphics tho 👀

So far looks like a visual novel+ fire emblem
