I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS VIDEO!!!!
I love hearing your takes on RPGs! You hit on the points that are important to me for getting the game
I saw this video a month ago and I loved it. Now having replayed this game 4 times and seeing all 4 endings, I can now say it's the best tactical RPG that I have ever played. I will play this again in the future because the many characters involved give the game so much depth. This review really in depth made me so want to play it. Thanks, Kevin.
I'm with you Kevin. Triangle Strategy is also one of my most anticipated games of 2022. From the very first trailer & gameplay footage shown plus the fact that it's from Square-Enix, the game instantly reminded me of the legendary Final Fantasy Tactics. I know that Elden Ring has been the talk of the entire gaming world & deservedly so but Triangle Strategy also deserves as much love as well. Another epic win from the same hugely talented development team behind the brilliant Octopath Traveler. Now if only Square-Enix could next give us a remaster or remake of Final Fantasy Tactics than that would make this even better.
Most anticipated or most hyped due to amount of marketing that went into this fame.
I love this game so much. It's a 9.5 out of 10 for me. I agree that having a movie role to go back and see cutscenes again would be nice. Thanks for video.
Goodness, Kevin, I'm reeling! 😄
You packed a huge amount of complex info and insight into this video. Great stuff.
This review from you is what I’ve been looking forward to!
Finished the game right now it was incredible. Glad you made a video it’s so good would recommend anyone to buy it
Loving this game. I’m on my first playthrough, haven’t had much time to play it because life but I’m loving it and I’ve been waiting for it since it was announced!
EVERY FAN NEEDS TO BUY THIS GAME!! so we can get more
12 hrs in and I’m loving it.
I was so hesitant to get TS since the demo left me with super mixed feelings… boy am I glad I decided to pull the trigger. It has become one of my favorite strategy TRPGs as well as Switch exclusives outright. It’s absolutely a banger.
I’m almost finished with my first run and already can’t wait to do a NG+ in Japanese
I love this game. I've never played or even seen Tactics Ogre before, but I see the similarities based on the clip you showed. Triangularpath Strategies is pretty much FFT on steroids for me. I've been playing on hard and probably 3/4 of the way of my first playthrough. Funny, I've never thought about lowering the difficulty and these last couple fights been challenging(currently in one lol). Good video.
Thanks for this video! This work could totally be a good intro into tactical RPGs. After watching your video and reflecting on it though, I'm more comfortable thinking of this game as a intro to a series of games. It's got great potential and in a way has enough to carry another remake, possibly a sequel. I haven't finished the game yet, so not sure if the story will be able to be continued, but the decision making, the battle system would be equally fun with a new character set, added features ( a combo attack system like Chrono Trigger would be totally amazing!) and another landscape to work in. Thanks for the video and giving me something to hope for in the future!
Played the demo 30 minutes - hooked, copy arriving tomorrow :-D
I played mt first two playthrus on hard, now lv.50 ch 1 hard is a pain!
Going to normal now lmao.
This is a fantastic game. Im glad other tactics rpg fans are enjoying this gem. 💖💞
I just started this last night, going in knowing there were a lot of cut scenes before getting to the meaty parts. I've only done 1 battle and I enjoyed it, being instantly reminded of FFT. I actually ended up getting the lancer prince killed, which kind of surprised me. I fully expect there to be challenging battles, which is perfect. The customization mechanics also look interesting.
I have spent quite a bit of time in FFT, Tactics Ogre, and Disgaea 4. I'm really looking forward to getting into this one. I wish there were more like it.
I'm really enjoying this game thus far
ahhh yes thank you so much for thissssss ahhhhh
Quality is amazing
Gorgeous game and I enjoyed your thoughts on it!
I cant wait to play the triangular strategy, the name alone give me chills >.> I wonder how many different sides there is to it
Played the Demo and was convinced. Im surprised how low the reviews were but idc bc its an excellent tactics game. The visuals are beautiful and the best style of 2d /3d graphic style there is imo.
*Triangle Strategy* is the best srpg I've ever played. It's incredible.
I would encourage you to play Final Fantasy Tactics. Apart from its unique combat, it has a story very much in line with Game of Thrones- just as deep and mature.
@@esquiredan2702 when someone says their favorite srpg is not FFT, you just assume they haven’t played FFT lmao.
Stop doing hardcore gamers …In reality Triangle Strategy is as good as FFT ! The games don’t have the same qualities, that’s all.
It’s prolly in my top 5 SRPG.. I really dunno why everyone worships FFT.. I got both the original and remake and I find it a very frustrating & clunky play.. Whereas other titles like the Fire Emblem entries & Jeanne DArc were an absolute pleasure
This is my game of the year so far by far
FF tactics spiritual successor I love it
Sick beanie
My only experience with tactical RPGs was the original GBA Fire Emblem and Mario + Rabbids, and I was quite overwhelmed by this game, even in the demo. It's not that it's difficult or that there are many moves (there aren't in the beginning), but rather that I had no idea how to play *well*, e.g. how to position characters and such. Perhaps that's my problem, even in Advance Wars I only use mechs, tanks and rockets because there are too many variables otherwise.
My experience is similar. My only experience with SRPGs is having played several Fire Emblem games. I've just started a playthrough of TS and I feel like I understand very little about the nuances of the combat. I'm gonna keep at it though, so hopefully that changes with time
I can't wait to play this game in Steam in the future!
Same I got Octopath traveler so waiting to finish that one then I'll get this one next.
Such a great game.
Yes the story sections are long but just like the Metal gear games , it's a vital part of package
Whoever voiced the Aesfrosti twins; nice job. I despise both these characters.
Can't wait for live alive
Well I'm out unfortunately. The shimmering bloom effect from Octopath Traveler mde me feel nauseous -I've got eye damage that makes me perceive brightness levels differently, so I suspect that's the reason. I loved FF Tactis and this does otherwise look gorgeous... Hopefully someone will let me know if there's a way to turn off that bloom effect
Loving this game so much, it has me wondering.... Am I the only one who wonders why there really hasn't been a tactics MMO where players can share a randomly generated seed world and either "PVP" a shared adventure or try to conquer the seed itself solo?
I need a part 2
nice jacket ! what kind of jacket is it ? i would love to own one of those
The game looks amazing can't wait to play play it but honestly I was really hoping that it would have the job system from final fantasy Tactic Advance. Where you you pick a character and where specific moves/skills will then unlock a new job for the character change the way they play and letting them learn new moves/skills, depending on what job you set your character to.
I feel that there is more cutscenes than play through, it is frustrating to me. And I feel like I can’t cut through them because I might miss out on what I need to do.
yes, it's painful
I got it, waiting to finish the other one called Astria Acending. Lol, I played the demo and felt it was pushing linear play a little too much. It needed a dynamic choice as in all the factions should be in play much like game of thrones.
Nice, Im actually half way through Astria Ascending. Just finished my first playthrough of TS a few days ago
Hard diff on NG+ is a nightmare.
I’m on my first play through and maybe I need to go down to easy because I’ve been playing on normal and some of these maps have been hard asf😭 literally winning with like 2 units at some points
With more people playing the game, I really do hope the multiple decisions actually matter and aren't just there to sell the illusion of your choices really mattering in the long run with character arcs and events adapting to your morality.
Tl;Dr Be less Three Houses, more Detroit Become Human
As far as I know your convictions affect who joins your party and how often you use them affects if/when you see character stories
That background
I’m the likely target audience of this video: always wanted to try and enjoy a tactics style RPG, but tend to find them overwhelming due to the very specific and foreign (to me) gameplay experience. Hearing the points you make has got my attention.
But my question is this: if I play the demo, will my save file carry over to the full version of the game? I want to try before I buy, but I also don’t want to waste my time with the demo if I’m just going to end up wanting the actual game.
It does carry over. Jump in
It will carry over, yes.
I played the game multiple times now and all I can say, It's a great TRPG. The only thing that bothered me is the restrictive class and character customization, coming from FE3H ya you feel it, but I give them that TS is more of a classic RPG mixed with TRPG so that's why the weapons are restricted, but overall a great TRPG
You're right. The game wants you to focus more on how each character affect the battle, the position and all that. So good man
I am absolutely loving Wargroove 2 right now. Triangle strategy was good too, but it was a bit too narrative heavy. Great gameplay though.
Is it like fire emblem
This and Elden ring are going to keep me busy all year long
I didn't know you did video game reviews
Me either! 😆
I've always wanted to like Final Fantasy Tactics but definitely did not enjoy some of the work that it put you thru. Good to hear this is a more welcoming "tactics."
Kevin, has anyone ever tell you that you look like Linus from LTT?
What's the point if you can't upgrade your characters? Thats what made FFT so good. Otherwise, I may as well just be reading a book, at least then I wouldn't have to sit there pressing the a button to advance the overwrought dialogue.
They need to make a likewise mmo off that
I didn’t fall in love with the octopath characters, are characters more fleshed out and interesting in this?
Absolutely, it’s like night and day.
This or three houses?
Both
😎🤙👍👍
Why did this just pop up on my fed??
One of the best games of 2023.
I wish they went for British Isles for their accents instead of American. The localization is really fantastic but it just feels off.
Question, I’ve just gotten to chapter 5 and was curious if there were moments where you found characters not getting enough xp in battle to unlock character side cutscenes, so you’d have to go through on another play through to unlock them?
You unlock more cutscenes the more you use a particular unit in battle.
Anyone that complains about the cut scene lengths clearly haven't played a Kojima game ever. which I love , I play games the bring me into the story
Played the beta, enjoyed the narrative and art style, but really dislikes the UI of the battle system and how hard to see the squares could be to just look at and figure out where exactly each space is and if you're sending your unit to the area you want them to go to.
Hopefully they changed that in the final version.
I got the true ending, was a great game but not nearly or even close to as well written as ff tactics, and multiple endings kind of hurt the game tbh.
If you like tactic games, check out the mobile tactics game I've been making in my channel! It's almost ready for players, would love to get your thoughts on it!
This game took about 90% inspiration from Tactics Ogre
Hope this RPG is coming to Steam soon 😪
normally 6 months waiting time. by the kind of deal nintendo and square have.
Ever play Breath of Fire?
Final Fantasy Tactics is one of those games like xcom or dark souls that somehow EVERY game ever gets compared to it. Not allowing you to create custom characters is devastating for a game like this. Now every fight becomes the same, you dont create a battle strategy you just play out a premade process. Where is the strategy? In unit placement?
Cool video uwu/
It's been out for about 3 minutes and the video is 12 minutes long.
Octopath traveler had a way to see past cutscenes, its a bit weird they forgot to implement this here.
Doesn't the "+" button skip them?
@@RollDiceTakeNames we can skip them and see them again in a menu.
hmm what now?
22 hours? Yeah this guy definitely didn’t play on normal or hard🤣🤣🤣
The insane amount of time between battles is a deal breaker for me. People have said upwards of an hour of story between one battle and the next?? Oh helll no
No, it's not... It's roughly 10-15 minutes(it depends if you want to watch the side story or not) people just overacting about the dialogue.. Besides if you like the story you wouldn't bother by it, and if you just want to battle, there's skip button.
It's absolutely not that long, and even taking exploration into account if you're a person who just wants to zoom through the game/story you can basically completely skip exploration, too.
@@kerijizo 30 minutes to an hour between battles.
In the very firt chapter it take around an hour before your first battle and after that is around 30 minutes+ on average. Not sure why people would say this is not true.
@@coronalights9693 it depends on how fast you read the dialogue, for me until the first battle at harbour it's just 15 to 20 minutes tops...
First
First 🥰
Nope
@@masongregory06 according to the time stamp they are 😉
Nothing but bot comments.
Anyone who chooses to play on hard mode already knows they're going to have to do some un-ethical s**ff. Women, children, heck! even the elderly are all fair game when it comes to grinding out XP because not only are those Boss fights tough, but you're gunna need lot's of "dropped items" to sell to the village merchants for pennies on the dollar. It's not like you can buy XP IRL from your local listings like Competitive Play Shiny Pokémon or Elden Ring Runes, lol.
Boy: HEY! You remember me?!
Main Character: I don't know, should I?
Boy: You killed my Pa back on Level 4!
Main Character: I kill lots a men, don't make me regret Sparin' Ya!
4x what a waste of time
Their was jus waaayyyy too much talking for me.. not enough ability to grind
The only tip you need for the game is to change the language to Japanese.
Stop comparing this to final fantasy tactics. You will be disappointed. This is square’s version of a fire emblem game. It’s similar but quite different.
No it isnt lol.
not much of a tactical game. I'm around lvl 22. Haven't lost a fight. There is only 1 strategy u need to know 2 win the entire game. Don't move forward. The enemy will just come to u almost 1 by 1. And then u can just kill em easy. As 4 the story. Maybe hit yourself in the head with a hammer a few times to cause some brain damage. And then all those cliche will seem fresh and exciting. The game is a glorified visual novel with very simple tactics implemented. But that's just my opinion. And i'm a huge tactics strat game player. So it's just 2 easy 4 me. And I'm also a professional writer. So spotting a bad story is kind of my job. But games like art is completely subjective. So if u like it. That's great. And if u are having trouble with a map. Just let them come to u
This is thr worst introduction to Tactical RPGs in my opinion. It took the worst from the past 2 Fire Emblem games which is the town exploration which is unecessary in this game and its forced upn your before every battle. You also have to do 40 minutes of dialogue before evey battle, this is not right. No other tactical RPG did this. In other Tactival RPGs you spent a lot more time battleling than watching dialogue but here you breeze through every battle. I'm guessing because it's too easy and there's no perma death. The battles are fun and that saves this game but it really should be more game than visual novel. Finally, new character join you without accomplishing any quest or tasks it's not satisfying at all.
Try playing on hard.
I agree about the character recruitments, it should have fights/choices and not just simple cutscenes and boom the character joins.
Thats fundamentally not true. Games like Fuga Melodies of steal is a better tactical rpg created from the talented people at cyber connect 2.
Terrible game, too much bloat with dialogue, not enough gameplay.
This game is just a wannabe octopath traveler, but failed miserably by design.
Hold up. How lol. One is a jrpg the other is s trpg. Pretty different formats
