Square Enix have revealed a new Japanese character and story trailer for upcoming strategy JRPG Triangle Strategy.
As previously reported, the game uses the “HD 2D” graphical style seen in Octopath Traveller. As three nations went to war over salt and iron; the decade old truce threatens to be broken by intrigue, and all-out war arising again. Players must make difficult choices which will declare their convictions; morality, liberty, or utility. This affects the story and who will join you.
At this time of writing, the character and story trailer is only available in Japan. There is no doubt a similar trailer will soon be available in English however. This is the first character and story trailer, and there will likely be three based on the game’s affinity for trinities. This trailer is focused on Roland Glenbrook.
Son of King Regna, players had to rescue him in the prior demo from the invading Grand Duchy of Aesfrost. Even so, Glenbrook was willing to sacrifice himself so others could fight another day. Other major characters from Glenbrook are also shown. You can find the Character & Story Trailer #1 below.
You can find the full rundown (via Nintendo) below.
Three nations battle for control of the dwindling resources of salt and iron in Square Enix’s newest HD-2D adventure
Command a group of warriors as Serenoa, heir of House Wolffort, in a tangled plot where your decisions make all the difference. Key choices you make will bolster one of three convictions—Utility, Morality, Liberty—which together make up Serenoa’s world view and influence how the story will unfold. When faced with truly momentous decisions, multiple characters will weigh in by casting their votes on the Scales of Conviction. In these moments, the allies and decisions you make can determine the fate of whole nations and the continent of Norzelia itself.
Control multi-tiered battlefields to strategically secure victory
Finding the best location in turn-based battles can tip the tide of combat in your favor. Position units on higher ground to take control of the battlefield and gain the advantage with increased range. You can also flank enemies on both sides, then strike from behind for a powerful follow-up attack. Elemental chain reactions are also an important part of combat. For example, use fire to melt icy terrain, then use lightning to electrocute it. Push the enemy into the electrified water to see sparks fly in stunning HD-2D visuals!
Triangle Strategy launches March 4 for Nintendo Switch.
