Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

Bravely Default was the first of its kind, it gets a pass. Considering it started off as yet another spin-off of Final Fantasy, it's better that they tried to distance themselves from FF because it very much isn't FF*.

It was definitely a gimmick to go with naming the game after the mechanic. But they've definitely gone too far with the others. Octopath and Diofield are at least unique words, though Octopath Traveler is equally as on the nose as Bravely Default, oCtO = 8

There's no excuse for the other two, Triangle Strategy was literally the working title when the game was announced and then they lazed out and didn't change it. Meanwhile Various Daylife is an atrocity of a game title.
