Mostly in games that involve strategy. It involves special attributes determining the strengths and weaknesses of each move, species, character or type. One attribute is strong against another attribute, and weak against another, often in a circular fashion.

The weapon triangle refers to the rock-paper-scissors relationship between axes, lances, and swords in the Fire Emblem series.
The big bad is defeated, the world is saved, and any last minute moral decisions are made, but what happens to all your favourite characters after the credits roll? Some games leave that thread hanging, while others use slideshows, cutscenes, or text to explain what life had in store for them.
A viewable map that displays the entire game world. The map also usually shows the player's location in the world.
