Seems like it’s part of Square’s new strategy to make their games more cross-platform

It’s also been put straight onto Game Pass.

Was just about to cancel gamepass and then saw this dropped. I can hold onto it for one more month to check this out.

$60 for the first game is kind of a crazy price.

LMAO that guy really just use Halo to compare gameplay??? Also he clearly didn’t know about the Break system. “Don’t like turn based or random encounters” my brother in Christ did you not read the box? It’s specifically made for a group of nostalgic gamers who loved Chrono Trigger/FFIII grinds.

The real icing was setting up with modern games’ graphics and completely missing the bg/environment art of OT games are hand painted in the Unreal 5 engine haha.

Imagine liking grinding turn based combat

Both are on steam as well. Definitely recommend if you love old school, turn based SNES JRPGs but with a dash of modernization in specs/combat. The artwork of the environments are genuinely beautiful. Some of the characters stories are really boring, some are crazy good haha.

Square’s little studio turning out these HD2D games really have knocked it out of the park. Triangle Strategy is like FFT on steroids, hardest mode is really REALLY hard, although a bit grindy (arena training). Bravely Default II is a PS1 sprite version of HD2D ala FFVII with a really rich stats/specing. The CEO of Square hinted a Chrono Trigger HD2D remake is in the works too.
