Triangle strategy is high fantasy and all the enemies are humans, or riding animals. Story wise it's 8 good individual stories but lacks a great overall one.
Enemies are largely reskins of other ones. Turn based combat, random encounters, and there is no such thing as moving units or unit positioning. Deploy between 1 and 4 heroes of a roster of 8. Octopath is kind of an 1800s setting, and a traditional jrpg. Ocopath traveler is fellowship of the rings triangle strategy is two towers and return of the king. There's a lack of enemy diversity as a result. There are no monsters in Triangle Strategy's world, which is boring from a writing standpoint and ALSO boring from a gameplay standpoint, as literally all enemies in the game are human. Oh, and worldbuilding- TS has a much more realistic world in it, which I kind of hated. I like Octopath 2 more, on the whole, as a result. I find Octopath to have way more heart, in comparison. but most of the characters are dignified nobles who speak quite seriously, and moments of humor or sweetness are very sparse. There's a large focus on politics, which is fine, the game IS about a war. drier? It definitely gets a lot of momentum going later on and it's very compelling due to the impact of the player's decisions, but I always found it pretty lacking in personality. I will say, Triangle Strategy's plot is a lot. Slow start, but lots of replay value ultimately.Īs other people have pointed out, the two games are quite different in genre, so it largely just depends on which genre you prefer. The cast is good, if a bit too focused on the main party (as it’s tradition within the genre). There’s a lot of branching paths thanks to its signature Scales of Conviction, and there’s multiple ways the story can end. It’s a war over a Ressource, and the role a noble house plays in it. TS has a thing that most gamers hate, but I absolutely love it: Politics.
Storytelling in general is strong with this one, on a tighter scale, with a well defined cast.
OT2 is a collection of good personal stories, that are intertwined here n there. What it comes down to, though, is what kind of story you want. Though not really grindy, it has a nice flow to it OT 2 is classic party based rpg, with levels to gain, equipment to find and jobs to master. Which ain’t too complex though, each unit having a rather defined focus. While they look similar, they play rather differently, TS being a top down turn based strategy game.
