The Witch Doctor woman has dialogue about "wanting to help benefit the people", so I assume she is utility. Not sure about the other two.

Hey, two page toppers in a row!

Yet I see other insist Medina is the Utility one.

Although I'm not saying the opaqueness is a bad thing. A third act twist along the lines of "Do you know where your morals really lie?" could be interesting, and anything that throws a wrench into min-maxers is a boon IMHO.

We've certainly taken a step forward since the "Donate a million dollars to a church or decapitate a puppy. These are your only two options." era of the Karma Meter.

You know, at first I was interested in this game because one of the protagonists was some old guy with glasses, which made the game stand out a lot, but as the trailer rambled on I lost all interest.

Another day, another forum.

I mean, political machinations are a core gameplay mechanic. If you can't stand wordy it ain't your kinda game.

This game will be at Square Enix's segment of the digital 2021 Tokyo Game Show.

Think we'll know the official name then, or...?

I mean if "Octopath Traveler" stuck...

I'd be surprised if they actually change the name. I'd be pleasantly surprised if they change the name and the new title is one where I don't have to go "No, wait, it makes sense because..." immediately after mentioning it to someone, like I had to do for Octopath Traveler.

As long as the drop the "Project" part I'll be fine with it.

I think if they made use of the word "Trinity" they might be able to make a really nice title. "Trinity something" or "Something Trinity." Or maybe if that doesn't tickle their fancy, they could use the word "Triumvirate."

It's not a working title anymore.

Demo adjustments.

They didn't mention Serenoa getting a voice redo, although camera controls are nice. [lol]

The camera controls are the big thing I remember from the demo that I really wanted them to change, so that's neat.

Was playing the demo for the first time the other day. Game flow was kind of sluggish so I'm glad they seem to be addressing that.

Good game too, by the way.

So are they staying with the name Triangle Strategy?

Yep. And no one was surprised.

Does it have the option to speed up or skip enemy phase?

Just did the map where you basically burn your own town down. I managed to kill most of the mooks via the traps and kited the boss to a chokepoint so she couldn't start poking my mages to death while they shot her. Had to sack tank boy to set up the last trap and another death was caused by me underestimating the boss, but at least this game doesn't have permadeath.

I heard this demo was decently hard and I wouldn't say I'm super amazing at these types of games, but I feel like I'm doing pretty well.

One of my favorite maps in Vandal Hearts was a boat map. You'd just have three characters on the chokepoint and laugh as the pirates stormed across their boarding planks and got continuously butchered. cool

... Any news on Serenoa's VA redoing their lines? [lol]
