And its literally 3 levels, no more, no less, its very weird. Only done a hundred times better, because in Triangle you can see that the game was not meant to have so many divergent paths (without spoilers, in my final chapter I infiltrated a place thanks to a guy that I had seen 1 time before, he was risking his life in doing so, and he is a merchant that only cares about money the little I saw of him, so it made no sense whatsoever, and that awful feeling happens a lot during the game)Īnd the game is mainly a visual novel (and dont come saying its not because there are literally 20 main fights, of which maybe 4 are long enough to be 1 hour, in a 30-40+ hours game in a first playthrough, if you actually listen to all the dialogue), remember that there are no side quests, no possible ways of building characters in any way (you just upgrade a character and thats it, there is no real equipment, it is attached to each character), those character upgrades are barely obtainable during your first playthrough so that progression is barely present, the characters are very very one-sided and sometimes they are forced by the awful narrative of the game to have a certain mindset.įor me, the game improved a lot in the second playthrough where I just skipped through the VN parts that I had already seen, and because you can actually progress your characters, because you get multiples materials to do so, not just a few.Īnd then you have to add the terribly design level system, where if you are 3 levels away from you enemy, he will stomp you no matter what unless you cheese, but as soon as you level once, suddenly the fight becomes even easy, its so weird. Ufff I think the worldbuilding of Triangle is really good, I think the story is good, but the characters and narrative are some of the worst I have seen in any game ever.Īnd the story structure is not novel, Tactics Ogre has the exact same type of dividing paths.

Edit: To say that as the post asks, Golden Sun has quite a few similar features to Octopath
