In the demo, you can choose whether to protect or give up a character named Roland, and as of March 2, the breakdown worked out roughly to the following:įinal Fantasy Tactics may still be a no-show on Nintendo Switch, but Square Enix is making up for it with SaGa Frontier Remastered, Legend of Mana, and, yes, Project Triangle Strategy. In 2018, Square Enix released the original Octopath Traveler on Nintendo Switch. Octopath is even better on mobile than it ever was on Nintendo Switch. The fact that there could be some twists was an appeal point to me. Masters retains the visuals and music as created Octopath a unique title in a field of beautiful RPGs, and its Streamlined combat is a huge improvement over the original game. That I might need to make disagreeable decisions as a consequence. One more nugget of info Asano provided was a data breakdown of how players approached a specific situation in the Nintendo Switch eShop demo of Project Triangle Strategy. It felt pretty clear to me, playing through Triangle Strategy, that the game was about building a résumé or CV over the course of the game, and the end of the game being determined by the whole of that history.
Project Triangle Strategy will ultimately have multiple endings and is targeting 50 hours of gameplay, but of course anticipated game lengths “never seems to turn out that way.” Multiple team members are drawing the game’s many characters, but Naoki Ikushima is doing all the design.
Now, via Nintendo Everything translation, Asano has provided a few new small details in a Q&A about Project Triangle Strategy development.Īsano explained that working on Octopath Traveler and Bravely Default II got him thinking about narratives aimed more at adults, and though he didn’t elaborate on why, he decided a strategy RPG would be better than a regular RPG to continue exploring more mature stories. It’s taking the HD-2D visual style of Octopath Traveler and combining it with the gameplay and political intrigue of Final Fantasy Tactics and especially Tactics Ogre, and it is in development at Square Enix and Artdink, with Bravely Default II‘s Tomoya Asano as a producer. Square Enix is making a lot of people happy with Project Triangle Strategy. During the recent Nintendo Direct earlier this month, viewers were treated to the premiere trailer showcasing the latest title from the Octopath Traveler development team, Project Triangle.
