Square Enix Reveals Project Triangle Strategy From Octopath Team

Nintendo has revealed Project Triangle Strategy, a tactical strategy RPG developed by Square Enix, with a new trailer full of gorgeous art.

[Relientk77]

Easily the best thing from the Nintendo Direct for me. We needs more games like Final Fantasy Tactics. From the look of this game, might as well call it Octopath Tactics.

[LOGICWINS]

Def picking this one up! Enjoyed Octopath despite it getting a bit too grindy and not having the most cohesive storyline.

[NecrumOddBoy]

I really want this to come to PS5. I enjoyed all 100 hours of OT on Switch but I rarely thought the system anymore. OT came to PC. Maybe this could too. Will get it day one regardless.

It looks good, but Square really needs to stop announcing games so early that they don't even have a title yet. They said 2022, but I bet its more like two whole years away.

[Zeldafan64]

It's not like it's a graphically intensive game

[OMGitzThatGuy]

So you won't be satisfied until every game is released the night of it's reveal?

[enkiduxiv]

That's not what I said Captain Hyperbole. I could easily be satisfied with a reveal announced two, three, maybe even four nights before its release... if it had a name.

[Tacoboto]

They even dropped a demo for this one. It's a lot more real so far than any game announced for 2022...

[Rebel_Scum]

Would be nice to have at least one of these types of games to not have voice acting.

[Zeldafan64]

Why?

[Rebel_Scum]

Cos the voice acting is usually shit in Japanese RPG's.

[Outlawzz]

I prefer voice acting. I can enjoy the events happening around much better.

So I thinks it's nice to have it in all of them. If I
was watching anime I would agree, dubbed is terrible. Games usually don't have the same issue for me.

[Zeldafan64]

Dubs in most anime are fine.

[DragonWarrior19]

It's 2021 dude, there is no excuse for not having voice acting.

[IanTH]

Who comes up with these codenames? lol. That is an unappealing mouthful. Octopath Traveler was a bit on-the-nose, but was a fine enough name...this definitely should not be allowed to become its launch title :-p

[Outlawzz]

I'm guessing it sounds better in the native language lol

[IanTH]

That certainly sounds feasible! I do vaguely recall some similar talk around the OT codename.

Then again, given this was a high profile introduction - with accompanying eShop demo - you'd think they would want to nail something down that sounds good in all languages lol. Then *again* again, I suppose if they felt they had a good name, they'd just call it that and forgo the whole "project -codename-" nonsense lol

[CrimsonWing69]

I’ve been wanting a legit Final Fantasy Tactics game for a long time. This is a day-1 buy for me.

[Tigerblud]

One of the few good things coming from the Direct and it's not even coming this year.

[Vithar]

played the demo, loved it, old school FFT :) LOVE IT, DAY ONE

[KingofBandits]

Didn't like Octopath at all but this looks very interesting to me. Looking forward to the demo

[DragonWarrior19]

The demo is out now, it's absolutely fantastic.

[KingofBandits]

I definitely check it out after work then

I believe this is Square Enix's way to dip their toes back into the Tactical Turn Base JRPG, but it doesn't has the name "Final Fantasy" in it, so they are giving this tgask to the team that made Octopath Traveler.

So far the reception has been good at least for that niche fandom of these types of games so might as well go for it. We know it won't sell bonker sales but their niche fandom will be there for sure.

[Zeldafan64]

Octopath has sold over 3 million copies. I think that's a step up from niche.

[DefaultComment]

Yes but this isn't octopath traveler, it's a new game...whatever it will be called but it's a turn based tactical JRPG like Final Fantasy Tactics back in the gameboy advanced days.
