I absolutely loved the game. Ironically, the fact you can't customize your whole team helps the tactics, IMO, since you can't just stack the OP classes and have to actually make do with the guys you have and figure out how to use their one specific niche as effectively as possible, even if it's not optimal for the map you're on.
I actually prefer a little bit of customisation despite what you've mentioned though. Just like the previous iterations of this type of game such as the mercenary saga etc., I feel more involved in the tactics this way.
I must say that I really fell in love with the game. it is a chill and slow game with a well build story that i enjoy to follow. I treat it a bit like an interactive show, and some of the active parts can be a bit finicky. However the game is definitely a good introduction to newcomers because you keep all the exp progress even if you loose a battle.
what's an " ab interactive show" , a show where you touch and tap an ab a specific part of the ab? lol sorry for nitpicking, but ab interactive show sounds so weird but I bellieve there's gotta be someone trying it
Decimal is basically a calculator black mage from FFT and I love it. We also get some interesting lore bit via dialogue for him in a certain fight for the golden route.
not just golden route. most of the routes have him having special lines coz 3/4 routes all involve that polity that has 2 units decimal just loves talking to.
“Prepare for a game so easy, you could literally just float over all the enemies and nothing would stop you. A game that encourages being morbidly obese with an eating disorder.

@@gameking3278 Don't forget about the allusions to the existential and eldritch horrors that's buried under the facade of cuteness! Like, yeah Kirby, but quite a few final bosses as well.
Only watched because I'm happy the game has enough clout to get talked about on a channel like this. Don't listen to the criticisms here. The game is great. If you like the genre, it's up there with the best.
Probably my favorite switch game since Tokyo Mirage. Amazing story, I cried a few times. Amazing replay ability, after four playthrus, still love it. I played every playthru on hard, and it was a damn challenge. Truly recommend this game to ANY strategy RPG fan. It’s addicting. The battles are truly thought provoking on hard.
Much in the same boat as you (but for the Liberty ending I played on Normal (Level 50 for all foes at all times) to get the Plume of Immortality. From a story standpoint, it felt right and made the ending deliver that much better.
I must say that, if you are getting bullied into things by the AI more than occasionally, then you probably aren't engaging in the game's systems because you either aren't saying the things that will convince the characters, or you don't have the conviction levels needed to make them believe you.
Yeah, just by walking around and inspecting everything I can before the conversations, I’ve been able to get by enough to have every vote go the way I wanted it. I haven’t always gotten every single character to my side, and once I did have to do a tiebreaker, but it’s really not that hard.
I had wondered why on repeat playthroughs it was easier to get my party to vote with me, I didn't pick up that it was due to increased Convictions, neat!
You can actually restart by pressing "X" in the battle and using the "retreat" option. You keep all exp, kudos, etc. but you can retry the fight, swap characters/accessories/etc.
@@DonutSwordsman The gameplay is way deeper than this makes it sound, with team attacks, weather effects, flammable and freezable spaces, traps you can lay, and a host of other factors. It’s such a rich experience.
when playing octopath i would go months without playing and pick it back up not understanding why i had put it down until i put it down just to repeat the cycle. ill probably do the same with triangle XD
@@janmarcoperezbatres2203 If that is how you feel great. Glad you enjoyed it but nothing TS did was original or executed well. The story was a mix of Royal Protagonist and Slavery cliches. Seriously you can erase any character from the story and plot still would hardly change. Your choices don't matter. You can unlock a worthless character or two and there are 3 "bad" endings. However you have to make SPECIFIC choices to get the "true" ending and the game goes on even if you make no choice. The combat is mobile-game quality at best. Each character has one or two useful gimmicks but almost zero customization. Compare that to most SRPG where characters have 3 to 10 different skills. Set skills aside combat boils down to placing 2 characters next to your target and attacking. Again compare that to FE's rock-paper-scissors system or Disgaea's team attack system. Musics ok I guess.
If I was trying to get peer pressured, I would probably have real friends - They say the truth hurts... and yup. Yup, it does. Is that a dagger in my back; an arrow in the knee, or do I resemble that remark? o. O
It’s funny that you mention forgetting character names on screen because if they’re a named character, they’ll have an option where you can see their profile that shows their name, portrait, allegiance, and a little bit of text describing them that changes depending on when you view it. I love just about every team asano game personally, and fire emblem has felt kinda dull for me. Fire Emblem games just have to innovate more in their storytelling and mechanics, and the decision making in TS made following playthroughs much more interesting. I never actually played fft or ogre tactics, so this was a completely new experience for me and the indie games I’ve played like it just don’t cut it.
Do Kirby and the forgotten Land next... and do some other older Kirby games too (We allow the trailer to take up to at most 20 minutes if it targets 4 kirby games at once)
Recs in order from most to least trying to imitate old strat-RPGs: Fell Seal straight-up steals some of the classes and progression from FF Tactics, except the classes are actually balanced this time. Banner of the Maid is set in low fantasy 18th century France, meaning the magic is all stuff like "really charismatic" instead of "throws fireballs." A bit slow-paced, but there's some intriguing stuff going on. Fae Tactics is what happens when you want your players to never, ever have to look at a menu during combat. Turns out all you really need is left-click and right-click.
I would like to bring to decimal with me each time, too..but it got tiring having to setup targets for him. still absolutely wrecks maps when he can though.
3:50 You can actually retreat from a bad battle, you also keep the exp and can restart fresh.
which is super needed if you dont feel like grinding
2:45 Nu-uh, they don't just do their one thing for the entire game!
They do their one thing for the entire game, but better!
I’ve been loving my time with Triangle Strategy.
Have one rn △△△

Well that explains why there's no restart battle button.
So, to farm and grind we just have to keep loosing/losing battles???
@@tenhovergonha8739 if you want to yes.

…there literally is an option to restart a battle whenever you want. Select Retreat from the options menu and boom, you’re back at the start.
“Who said there shouldn’t be a restart battle button?” He says, when the retreat option is literally in the pause menu
"Why isn't there a restart battle option?" There is...

With a Cromartie High School character face..
Who need class system when you have 30 characters to choose from. It's kinda tedious to have a class system in this game.
Agreed
It was also a pain in the arse to grind in the original ff tactics.
Love the vid but restarting is done by retreating. You retain all xp earned and it restarts to the unit placement section again
Yah apparently it was buried in the system menu, so I guess that was just a personal experience.
Only watched because I'm happy the game has enough clout to get talked about on a channel like this.
Don't listen to the criticisms here. The game is great. If you like the genre, it's up there with the best.
lol most of the criticisms stem from skipping dialogue and being bad as usual

I can’t believe you didn’t mention the characters’ habit of saying “pray” every other sentence.
Give me the chills with the line "Welcome to PlayPaintChill. You just gained honor +2 for following us ! ".
MAKE AN HONEST TRAILER OF Kirby and the Forgotten Land!
Or better yet: Kirby in general.
Bravely Default is a really good name. It gets your attention and makes sense when you play it.
"Glacial paced cut scenes" is the absolute best way to articulate that. I'm saving that one for later.
3:55 the most relatable sentence ive ever heard
You can actually restart by pressing "X" in the battle and using the "retreat" option. You keep all exp, kudos, etc. but you can retry the fight, swap characters/accessories/etc.
Oh damn it actually got an honest trailer!!
Please say: "Wow, I can't believe we haven't made an Honest Trailer for Stardew Valley yet." Then actually make an Honest Trailer for Stardew Valley.
Wanna bet they'll skip stardew and instead go straight to Haunted Chocolate Factory
The entitlement is real lol
The only way to play Stardew Valley is to name your character Stardude.
That's soon meta
You actually can 'retreat' from a given battle and restart it from the beginning, with all your exp intact.
You know what, I don’t want you guys touching Live A Live with a trailer like this.
I feel like retreat is the reset button. Good honest trailer though!
I did not know this existed, thank you so much as i love this style of gameplay
*"We shall glorious battle together forever...Barrel with eye holes"* Floored me...
That barrel with eyeholes seems really charismatic. I wish to subscribe to his newsletter.
You can restart your mission in the middle of a match. Just hit the Y button and go to settings. You have to complete a couple missions to get it.
finished 2 playthroughs with Frederica and true ending, gonna reload and see how Benedict and Roland's play out now
Tearing this one a new Triangle.
Since this game was based on it, have you done Final Fantasy Tactics?
Say “I need a monster to clobber that there Kirby!”
Holy ____! Thank you for granting my wish. This is soo cool. I think I might be having a joygasm!
Still trying to make this happen, despite countless failures:
Do SimCity!
SimCity! SimCity! SimCity!
Every time I thought I needed a restart battle option I won the battle still.
Great feeling
Thank you for reminding this game existed before i forget it forever
Barrel-with-eye-holes really needs a crossover with that jar guy from Elden Ring.
"Petty squabble over salt: the game"
it gets good from chapter XVII onwards, though.
Can we pls pls pls get a SIMPSONS HIT AND RUN Honest Trailer?????????????????
Please do Chrono Cross. With its Remaster coming out soon it’s the perfect time!
Please say: "No Benedict, we are not using Roselian slaves as suicide bombers."
Please say: "Kain is deified. The clans tell tales of him. Few know the truth. He was mortal once... as were we all"
By the way you can restart mid-battle. In the X menu under the last selection is retire or something like that
Now do a Honest Trailer for Hyperdimension Neptunia
~Hon-hon-hon!~
Honest Kirby forgotten Lands trailer!
Say, "For a guy named Knuckles, you are really bad at punching."
Man I love this game, doing my second play right now. Did it right after the first.
I know I'm 2 years late. But heck yeah, great game. On my 2d run right now too
say: "don't let it get to your head young trainer, the road is long and filled with danger."
My barrel with eye holes is Narve i love that funky lil wizard and am KEEPING HIM
Never underestimate the barrel with eye holes.

How come?

@@ProfessorJayGaming All of that was done better in Original Sin 2. Which is also available on the Switch.
Hard Disagree. Final Fantasy Tactics, Disgaea, Three Houses, and Original Sin 2 all crush Triangle in gameplay and character writing.
when playing octopath i would go months without playing and pick it back up not understanding why i had put it down until i put it down just to repeat the cycle. ill probably do the same with triangle XD

Please say "Into the Dragon's eye, I condemn thee to damnation!"
this makes me wish i owned a Switch... i'm hopeful this will eventually releases on steam
Its not worth it. There are better SRPG on pc
It is worth it. The story alone is great, your choices matter and the combat is fun. Music is also great.

Say: "Mm, I love this one. My old man gave it to me."
So there's a guy named Gustadolph? That's as good of name as I could ever make up.
You know, Kirby franchise is probably due for a trailer right now.

So... Final Fantasy Tactics Honest Tráiler when?! You planted the seeds in the FF7 trailer and we've been waiting ever since.
Do choices REALLY matter in this game, or by "choices" do they just mean your strategy in combat?
Both.
Here's a very special strategy game to cover: Vestaria Saga.
Imagine what an honest trailer for Forza Horizon 5 would be like…
I'm profoundly dissapointed by the lack of Triangles in Triangle Strategies.
I was waiting for the original names coming at the end in the starring section.. you did all the pokemons but not the 30+ characters.
what happened?
Ok, let's see if it was just me; please say: "In this battle against a pack of wild animals, hurting animals is against the law".
Minesweeper was the original triangle strategy
Ok I didn't realise this was even out yet
Im still waiting for Lost Odyssey in PC
Hey, if you want a game with engaging characters and story, you should do an Honest Trailer on any of the games in the "Ace Combat" series.
Ace 5 yes, Ace 6 and 7 no.
@@nathank2289 As a PS boy, I can't vouch for 6, but 7 is great and how dare you act like 4 doesn't exist.
