There are three major morality values the game centers on: Morality, Utility, and Liberty. Serenoa cannot navigate this conflict without your help, as his opinions on the alliances he makes depend solely on the decisions you make. Unbeknownst to him, Norzellia is on the eve of war breaking out, with House Wolffort being in the dead center of the conflict. On the continent of Norzellia, the player steps into the shoes of a young noble named Serenoa Wolffort. What’s important is how Triangle Strategy lives up to the premise of an SRPG revival, and how it stands on its own merit. The tone of the story and gameplay echoes these classics, and there’s nothing wrong with that. It would be narrow-minded to only draw comparisons to those games, but I also think it’d be ignorant to say some of the comparisons aren’t fair. Triangle Strategy, intentionally or not, seems to be doing just that. When you’re trying to evoke the spirit of those two games, expectations will be high.
Final Fantasy Tactics and Tactics Ogre in particular are still beloved today for that exact reason.
Many use obtuse difficulty as a crutch for poor game design, but a strong story can do a lot to get you over the challenge hump and the nature of the genre practically begs for creative political war-themed narratives. I will admit though, it sometimes takes quite a lot for SRPGs to click with me. I can’t claim to be a lifelong diehard who was there in the SNES and PS1 eras, as I was far too young during that time, but I’ve been a big fan of the SRPG genre for years. 2022 seems like it could be a great year for tactical RPGs as Square Enix’s Asano Team kicks things off with Triangle Strategy.
