This 'grey' morality plays into how the player determines Serenoa's personality as well as the course of the story. These guys, as they refer themselves directly, are just trying to get by to make ends meet even if it's holding a prestigious woman for ransom.

While the bandits are obviously antagonists, these aren't malicious bandits. The first fight in the game is between the party and an invading group of bandits. To an extent, the characters fit the designated role of the heroic protagonist, the patient and loyal mentor, the headstrong heiress, and her protective caretaker. Unfortunately for Serenoa and Frederica, the tides of war are rising yet again with the couple caught in the crossfire of it. To appease the wars, two protagonists from different nations offer each other hands in marriage. The plot centers around a world enduring a war-torn state. The 'Ivalice-style' nature of Triangle Strategy and its easy-to-digest world is one of its immediate positives. Those used to Bravely Default and Octopath Traveller will feel a familiar aesthetic featured in both. Even calling it a 'revival' isn't doing this game justice as it's in a league all its own. But it might as well be called a Final Fantasy Tactics revival. Rather than focus on traditional RPG, Triangle Strategy, as the name suggests, would take a more 'strategic' approach. This collaboration led to a unique endeavor within the Asano timeline. Artdink, perhaps the most interesting of the developers, is best known for its 90s titles including the city sim Take The A-Train and various anime titles throughout the decades.

The game's producer, Tomoya Asano, coincidentally worked on Octopath Traveller as well as the Bravely Default titles. The game most certainly exists, however, formed as a collaboration between Square and Artdink. A quick click on the Square Enix website will show no mention of Triangle Strategy whatsoever in the midst of upcoming releases on their catalog. That is to say, like the latter, this game's success will depend entirely on word of mouth as there is very little advertisement from Square Enix themselves. Triangle Strategy is a title that's unfortunate in its premise as it's a title that die-hard fans will know of, but it will suffer the same fate as Octopath Traveller. Available as: Digital and Physical Square, Where Is The Promotion?
