This interview has been edited for clarity and brevity.Д®xploration segments let you walk around areas of the world, and learn more about the lore and story. The trend really blew up with Octopath Traveler in 2018 and continues with Triangle Strategy, but also an upcoming remake of Live A Live, an RPG previously only available in Japan.ДЄhead of Triangle StrategyвЂ™s release on March 4, Inverse spoke with Asano and fellow producer Yasuaki Arai about the gameвЂ™s development, how they settled on Triangle Strategy as the name, and their potential hopes for more HD-2D Square Enix remakes like Live A Live in the future. Square EnixвЂ™s Team Asano developed all three titles and is therefore responsible for the growing popularity of HD-2D video games in the publisherвЂ™s lineup. Based on generally positive review scores, Triangle Strategy will soon join Bravely Default and Octopath Traveler in Square EnixвЂ™s growing lineup of retro-style RPGs with вЂњweirdвЂќ names.

But for one reason or another, the name stuck. Asano tells Inverse that including вЂњProjectвЂќ was a way for developers to hedge their bets and create вЂњa little bit of room to be able to change the nameвЂќ should fan reception be too negative. вЂњIs the name Triangle Strategy not really unique, but kind of weird?вЂќ he asks us at the tail end of an interview about the gameвЂ™s development. Producer Tomoya Asano has been asking himself, and us, the same question. ItвЂ™s a question that weвЂ™ve all been wondering since before developer and publisher Square Enix confirmed the final title during a September 2021 Nintendo Direct. Is the name Triangle Strategy kind of strange?
