The latest strategy RPG to release on Nintendo Switch, Triangle Strategy ** , naturally draws comparisons to Nintendo’s own SRPG series, Fire Emblem ** . Released on March 4, Triangle Strategy is an HD-2D title by Square Enix reminiscent of Final Fantasy Tactics and Tactics Ogre . The latest Fire Emblem title, Three Houses , was released on July 26, 2019, but a hack-and-slash action game spin-off, Three Hopes , is set to release on June 24 of this y

The characters you'll need to sway to head to the deserts of Hyzante are Roland, Erador, Hughette, and Anna. You can safely ignore Frederica, Geela, and Benedict, as they are already in favor of this propo

However, there will be ripples felt throughout even though they won’t be apparent at first. Before investing in one of these major decisions, make sure to keep a backup save. It’s a good idea to do this in RPGs regardless of whether they have branching pa

This tourney is only a mock battle, but it's a mock battle that you have to win. After all, you can't let Hyzante embarrass you! After some preamble about the structure of the event, you'll get right down to

Fire Emblem titles have dabbled in "branching paths" in the past. In Thracia 776 - a "midquel" to Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War - and Sacred Stones , players can choose between two different "paths," or sets of chapters to complete, which change the maps they visit and characters they can recruit. But in both these games, the deviating paths eventually merge, and the games thus feature a singular ending regardless of which path they chose. Games like Fire Emblem Fates and Three Houses feature drastic story splits, but they’re each treated as their own game - to the point where players must buy the different "routes" of Fates separately - and don’t have major deviations within them or different endings to unl

You've chosen the practical path — the path of reason. With Prince Roland surrendered, Triangle Strategy 's story has taken a grim turn. Was this tense peace worth the decision? Well, that's the beauty of role-playing games. The answer is yes, no, or anywhere in between, depending on where one's own thoughts linger. Or maybe you're just trying to complete every route and this melodramatic paragraph means little to you. Honestly, f

If an option requires a piece of Information, the second-best choice will also be included to know what to pick if you are missing the relevant item. For this chapter, all relevant Information is picked up in Chapter Two's second exploration eve

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

There are breaking points throughout Triangle Strategy that will branch the game out into multiple timelines. The first major decision will have players choose whether they want to visit the kingdom of Hyzante or the kingdom of Aesfrost. This is at the end of chapter three, part one. At first, it seems like players will only get an exclusive character from each campa

Another aspect of Triangle Strategy that isn’t explained until a few chapters in are the recommended units. There is no strategic value that the game takes into consideration when highlighting these charact

Remember to make regular use of your Encampment. If you've not given it a glance yet in this chapter, you'll find that the merchant's got some new wares in stock including the first appearance of Quality-level materials. These are required to learn rank 2 weapon abilities. The silver you (hopefully) found in Chapter Seven, Part One's exploration phase can be put to good use now to unlock a rank 2 weapon. We recommend you use this first one on Serenoa, Xinyan's musical Mirage but there's no wrong ans

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

These units will provide extra story bits if they encounter certain enemies or allies in the field, which can fill in some interesting plot details in the story. However, don’t feel obligated to use recommendations. Use personal favorites while taking into consideration basic aspects of strategy RPGs . Keep a healer and a ranged character around, for exam
