My favorite song in this entire OST :3 I love the emotional contrast between the melancholic melody and the constant drumming beat as if to portray a militaristic, single-minded march towards the goal in spite of painful sacrifices.
“I do not deny we face an enemy unlike any we have faced before. But to withdraw now will allow Hyzante to recover its strength. “I thought you believed in what the salt promises. I thought you were resolved to do whatever it takes to forge a better Norzelia. “The future is as strange and frightening as any foe. How can you be brave enough to change one when you flee in terror from the other? Be not afraid to fight for your chosen path, Lord Serenoa. We will fight beside you, every step of the way.”
Benedict: Milord we have to set the peasents on fire and burn them alive and flood their fields and eat their firstborns to win this war for the glory of house Wolffort. Cerenoa: Beneidict can you not right now? This is dinner not a battle.
If Benedict were a doctor, he'd recommend amputation and cauterization as the cure for even the slightest flesh wound - all in order to remove any chance of gangrene, no matter the cost...
I think Triangle Strategy is indeed made to be played multiple times (a.k.a. replayed). Because there's multiple story branches, the last boss' level in the first gameplay is only level 33-36 (which is very low compared to other RPGs last boss), and also, there's this thing called New Game+
You definitely need to replay it. There is a golden route that you've missed. Make absolutely sure that you have enough playthroughs, that route is the hardest and requires most characters that you get from various routes. It was the absolute highlight for me as my third playthrough. And this music piece plays there too!
Love how Benedict is supposed to be the morally dubious one, yet Roland's path is the one that has you side with an oppressive nation and throw your fiance's entire race under the bus
I mean Roland was consumed by hatred, jealousy, and figured that he was incapable of doing anything. So he had to "pick a side" and choose Hyzante over Aesfrost. Benedict still doesn't realistically care about anyone but Seranoa in his route... The more I look the more I see terribleness in all 3 outcomes
@@Leah-Heala Benedict`s is the best by far. You get your kingdom, you free the slaves, keep Fredericka alive and well and don`t become anyone`s b**ch. Yeah, there is poverty and unsolved problems, sure, but at least those are your problems and you have the means to solve them, eventually. Plus there will always be poverty regardless of path, they just focus on it in this ending. Being poor still beats beeing poor and enslaved.
To be fair, Frederica’s decision is explicitly defined as the “moral” choice because of the game’s conviction system, so I think it makes sense that they show Benedict & especially Roland as being the immoral ones. All 3 of them only care about the conviction governing their respective choices.
@@medmax5941 it's not necessarily them being immoral for me except Benedict who has the least morality. Roland is bankrupt in liberty. He's a utility morality. Something that Hyzante specifically tries to appeal to with false morality while being a strong utility force. While Aesfrost is super liberty based. Roland doesn't have the liberty to drive his ideals for a norzelia by his own hand so he seeks help from another nation. Benedict is just straight morally not there. He's full of liberty and utility to commit to his own oaths and as such cares little for the wants or needs or pleas from other party members.
@@Leah-Heala Good point, Roland clearly cares about the Roselle and feels guilty that his choice will doom them. Benedict didn’t even go visit the Source and pretty much says he doesn’t really care about the Roselle. I was more talking about how the game frames the decision as the culmination of the three convictions, so they highlight Frederica’s morality even though the characters themselves are more complex than that.

"You are not the noble hawks you think yourselves to be."
"Grovel, or bleed... sore options, both."
Roland left the party.
End of Exharme - Victory
@@Katheive "Numbers are no guarantee of victory Minister Exharme, every soldier you deploy means more blood on your hands"
"You've chosen the one path I cannot take."
Frederica leaved the party
@@lonelybug_1269 No that's if you side with Roland.
Roland left the party

Me when the kid I'm babysitting says they wanna do something I don't want to do:
When your friends want to decide on eating at a place you don't want to eat.
This goes so fucking hard in the golden route
TRUE
Exharme didn’t realize he was messing with HIM
"So, you now take blind counsel from your betrothed. To think that an arranged marriage would lead to a folly."
He will try his level best
this song hits differently, nearly cried. Thank you for the upload
You’re a goddamn hero for putting this back on RUclips.
Benedict: Milord we have to set the peasents on fire and burn them alive and flood their fields and eat their firstborns to win this war for the glory of house Wolffort.
Cerenoa: Beneidict can you not right now? This is dinner not a battle.
he didn't actually burn the peasants, they all were evacuated to the castle before their houses were burned down
@@hariravichandran6560 Milord, pray listen to what I'm about to say: we can win if we make the Geneva convention... more of a Geneva suggestion.
Serenoa: Who the hell starts a conversation like that, I just sat down!
"Milord, the royal capital must be destroyed in order to be saved!!!"
Cue the Dam Busters March...
If Benedict were a doctor, he'd recommend amputation and cauterization as the cure for even the slightest flesh wound - all in order to remove any chance of gangrene, no matter the cost...
This theme does such a great job at capturing Benedict’s tactical and calculating nature!
Benedict is the true main protagonist
Favorite track in the game!
finally! looked up the extended version half a year ago but nothing
I love you for extending this. Thank you, good sir
I kind of want to replay Triangle Strategy now. Only got Benedict's route.
Was thinking the same

City: Benedict. What are you doing? Benedict. Stop!
It reminds me a lot of the Burning Gundam theme.
