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

Players may have noticed that one of the Saintly Seven, Lyla Viscraft Minister of Medicine, is also in the city square with them. This character is not one players would know from the Triangle Strategy demo that carried over to the full game , but she will be important in this chapter. She is waiting near the guard that took Serenoa's letter. While exploring the homes in the city, players most likely check out this little building looking for cl

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

As strategy RPGs with stories surrounding political tensions, Fire Emblem and Triangle Strategy will naturally spark comparisons. The warring factions and emphasis on narrative give them a common ground for fans of one to perhaps check out the other. Getting a feel for Triangle Strategy is easier thanks to its free demo with data trans

Before you attempt to sway people to your side, remember that this is also something of an exploration event. Chat to the Concierge manning the door and you can explore the Wolffort Streets to pick up crucial information and useful ite

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

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

Pieces of Information are very important as they can be used to sway characters to your viewpoint during a Voting Event . They will be essential for making sure you get to choose the story path you des

Triangle Strategy makes use of both these approaches. Choices players make can affect the short term by having the player Pawfect Match Monopoly Go to one certain chapter instead of another, then returning them to the "shared" route after, as seen in the Triangle Strategy demo . Choices can also build up over time and lead to numerous different endings. In this way, Triangle Strategy seems closer to the likes of Tactics Ogre than Fire Embl

Because players won’t be at risk of losing a character in battle, units in Triangle Strategy are a lot more different than each other. Although characters may die due to story reasons, that’s a controlled factor that allows each unit to have its own mechanical purpose and decreases the need for multiple units that do the same things. But it also means Fire Emblem games tend to have larger playable casts. Fire Emblem Gaiden has the smallest number of playable characters in the series at 32, and its remake, Echoes: Shadows of Valentia , added two more through normal play and four through DLC, similar to the four characters exclusive to Fire Emblem: Three Houses ’ Cindered Shadows DLC . Sacred Stones features the next fewest playable characters in the Fire Emblem series at 34, although its special Creature Campaign adds 10 m

With Triangle Strategy ’s game mechanics , however, players can not only take advantage of elevation, but they can interact a lot more with the map itself. Certain spells and items can turn tiles wet, which can then conduct electricity. Some tiles can be set ablaze, and wind-based skills can spread the fire further. Any character can take advantage of these terrain interactions, either through their spells or with items, unlike in Fates where only royal characters could interact with Dragon Ve

Another thing that Serenoa and friends will need to do in Chapter 10 of the RPG Triangle Strategy is to have a chat with a rumormonger in the city. There is a man at the entrance of the city that directs players to try to talk with a woman who collects rumors. She is located in this little building near Lyla Viscr
