Triangle Strategy is a sprawling epic involving countless characters and multiple continents, so its full playtime can vary wildly from player to player. Choices can have a big impact on the narrative, which means getting to one ending may take longer than another. Text speed and difficulty settings are varying factors as well. So, how long does Triangle Strategy actually take to beat?
Ultimately, this answer will vary depending on playstyles. The main story of Triangle Strategy focuses on a new fight raging between countries thirty years after the Saltiron War. As protagonist Serenoa Wolffort, players will get to control a number of characters in turn-based, strategic combat that works on a grid similar to games like Final Fantasy Tactics. If players have already tried out the Triangle Strategy demo with save transfers, then this can cut down on total playtime as well, since they'll have already played through the early hours of the game before its full release.
Still, even the demo's time counts toward total playtime, and based on early reviews, it appears that the players can reach one ending in about the same amount of time. Producer Tomoya Asano recently said on a radio interview (via DualShockers) that it took around 30 hours to beat Triangle Strategy in a test run. However, people who didn't have a hand in creating the game will probably spend a lot more time with it.
How Long Triangle Strategy's Story Is
Most players will probably beat Triangle Strategy at an average of between 40 - 60 hours. This may seem like a wide margin, but this is due to factors like Difficulty settings, text speed, and general skill and familiarity with tactical RPGs. Playing through Triangle Strategy's demo should give players an idea of how combat works and how long it might take them to play through the main story.
Even veteran players who are used to tactical RPGs and can breeze through combat (or who choose to play the game on an easier difficulty) will still spend a lot of time the main story due to some long cutscenes. Text speed can be increased, and Triangle Strategy's difficulty can be lowered to make combat faster, but some cutscenes will still take a long time. However, players shouldn't feel rushed to beat Triangle Strategy within any set timeframe and instead enjoy the story and characters at their leisure.
