Product Description

War is coming to the continent of Fódlan.

From the manufacturer

War is coming to the continent of Fódlan. Here, order is maintained by the Church of Seiros, which hosts the prestigious Officer’s Academy within its headquarters. You are invited to teach one of its three mighty houses, each comprised of students brimming with personality and represented by a royal from one of three territories. As their professor, you must lead your students in their academic lives and in turn-based, tactical RPG battles wrought with strategic, new twists to overcome. Which house, and which path, will you choose?

The game features the refined gameplay the Fire Emblem™ franchise is known for. Command a party of warriors to move and fight on a grid-based battlefield and, for the first time in the series history, assign battalions of troops to support individual units in battle. As a professor, you are responsible for teaching your students and improving their skills in their academic lives and in battle. These may be school assignments, but the stakes are very real. Your students’ lives depend on your leadership. It’s up to you to guide each of them, so that they may wield a variety of weapons, master the study of magic, and acquire special skills such as horsemanship. But there’s more to being a professor than commanding armies. Freely roam Garreg Mach Monastery and the academy within it, while interacting with talented students to build relationships and gather intel. After meeting one enigmatic girl named Sothis…you’ll come to realize that she appears only within your mind. What other mysteries await?

The Officer's Academy is home to three houses: The Black Eagles, The Blue Lions, and The Golden Deer...Which house will you choose?

A turn-based, tactical RPG that puts new twists on strategic battling.

Freely roam Garreg Mach Monastery and interact with students in a variety of ways--over lunch, even--to bond and gather intel.

Fire Emblem: Three Visual Novels + Great Tactical Game

Reviewed in the United States on August 8, 2019

Platform: Nintendo SwitchEdition: StandardVerified Purchase

I logged 91 hours only on Blue Lions route, and I will definitely be going back to do Claude & Edelgard's route. FE3H is a full complete game without hidden story DLC for your to buy on release. Good bang for your buck.

FE3H is very much an amalgamation of all the Fire Emblem game that came before; it has the ambitious story scope and character roster of Fates, some maps are challenging akin to Radiant Dawn, great detailed world-building. But it stands alone unique and on its own merit, not a mere copy-paste.

=============================================================================================
+++ Pros +++

+ Story: it is full of intrigue and hidden depths especially when you build supports from various students and faculty. You can just skim through the main story, but the details in the profiles and interactions between characters greatly adds to worldbuilding and understanding of the overall story. One playthrough will not be enough to understand what is happening in Fodlan. The story is gripping and sucks you in.

+ Unit customization: FE3H maybe the most customizable FE game yet in terms of class, abilities, and weapons (rank and type). While Fates does have relatively more, but I thought FE3H balances it quite well. The game makes it much easier to have certain units catch up to a certain rank for them to class in something to be effective like you want them to.

+ Big Maps (but not too big): the maps and how the battles are set up are quite interesting. While many of them are "defeat all enemy commanders", there are couple of maps with sub-objectives that gives bonus at the end. Although I had a hard time navigating on the zoomed-in-on-the-ground view, I appreciate the feature of seeing units as if they are truly on the battlefield. The perspective adds to the huge scope. It is a nice feature albeit it cuts into the frame rate.

+ Characters: while a couple do follow some of the trope you see in anime and previous FE, there are nuances added to give them some depth. But that depends on how much supports (not just protagonist's) you are willing to put in the work. There are various ways within the game to get those support points, not just on the battlefield. Choir practice, dining hall, group goals. Find ways to pair them together and build support points.

+ Art and art direction: I especially liked the art work from when the chapters begin. The style is so much different from previous FE titles. It looks straight out of a medieval history book. Or it has that style.

+ Battle system: FE3H took out the weapon triangle, but has the weapon durability. Battle system is in similar veins as Shadows of Valentia, and I'm not complaining. It's fun to play. Gambit is the new feature, and it's different. For one, it gives more customizability to a unit, and having battalions on a battlefield, makes the map more of a battlefield like FE has us to believe. It took some getting used to, but can be an effective tool.

+ Voice Acting: everything (except protagonist) is voiced. EVERYTHING. English AND Japanese. Wow. And the acting is fantastic. I played with dubbed voice cast the first time, and I had a blast being with these characters.

--- Cons ---

- Small texts on the big screen: the texts are so tiny on my TV and I could not find an option to change the font size. It was so frustrating.

- Drains Switch's battery: fiddle with brightness to save the battery or carry the charger with you.

- Lip flaps: talking audio and lip flats doesn't match. I got used to it, but it was jarring the first time.

- Cutscenes, or its style: I thought there was relatively more smoothness compared to how it was in Valentia. But there's certain edge and sharpness to the animation. Personally, I am not a hug fan of such a style especially in tender moments, but it works well during action sequences.

=============================================================================================

There's no another blue-haired Lord character. So, that's a big change already. There were a couple of story beats that had me scratching my head like troops traveling too fast, too easily across the continent without opposition or monsters. Or how the protagonist has too much special-ness like Corrin from Fates where everyone likes him or her out the gate.

Overall, I really like the game and recommend it to those who like FE or strategy games. Even to those who like Visual Novels because FE3H has those elements as well. There is a casual mode and time-undo feature (Divine Pulse) to redo certain moves. The game balances out difficulty for both veterans and newcomers.

FE3H has a lot of replay value. Highly recommended.

Disregard the review bombing occurring elsewhere...

Reviewed in the United States on July 29, 2019

Platform: Nintendo SwitchEdition: StandardVerified Purchase

As always, straight to the scores:

Graphics quality: 9/10. Almost every game that releases is capable of looking better, and FE3H is no exception. However, whether it is the animated cutscenes, traversing the monastery, or engaging in large-scale tactical battles, FE3H looks great for a game on Switch. I genuinely believe this is one of the reasons the game pulled me in so quickly, and I am so happy to see that time was taken to ensure the game looks as good as it does.

Animation: 9/10. Again, same thing. Beautiful. I was very happy to see things that were not previously animated, being animated. The best way I can describe this is that there are smaller things you will notice from time to time that you never thought would make a difference - like the fact that there is no longer an animation for "entering" an attack. Those things make a difference. All of the difference.

Story: 9/10. "Harry Potter" is not an accurate description of this game's story, because the only thing FE3H shares with Harry Potter is a House system. House systems are a tradition of England's schooling dating back hundreds of years. If anything, FE3H is historically accurate. And I am really disappointed that some of my fellow Fire Emblem veterans have simply dismissed the game for this reason, because the nuance of the story is something I really appreciate as opposed to many of FE's former titles. I won't tell you what to do, but in short, I do not believe you can actually "play" the game and walk away thinking it is like Harry Potter, so if I were you, I would strongly disregard anyone who brings that view to the table.

Characters: 10/10. Characters in this game are excellent. Dialog is snappy, and time spent with students really draws you into the world and its story. If you do not spend time with these characters, you will be missing a HUGE part of the game. Take the time to individually "instruct" them when the time comes and you will see that you care a lot about your students and their progress. You will definitely be invested in them and their lives.

Customization: 10/10. Your students progress is the foundation for FE3H customization options. Every single student has the ability to become so many different classes. It is your responsibility to see to it that they achieve their goals, true. But it is also your responsibility to ensure they try new things. If you do, you will find that some characters have a knack for classes they had no interest in - just like real life. This is a really fun part of the game that I think a lot of people are overlooking, so take your time with it.

Gameplay: 10/10. Honestly, FE3H feels as great as FE always has. They brought back weapon durability, which adds some busy work, in my opinion, but the classic battle system is there with just a few more layers to keep veterans interested. And its great! I also think the battle-to-schooling ratio is perfect, making battles feel more intense and more important then previous titles.

Voice-acting quality: 10/10. This entire game is voice acted. This ENTIRE game. I love the voices involved and I am really happy with all of the casting choices. I recognize many of the names, but generally the voices are a "good fit" for the characters you are speaking with.

Music: 8/10. The music is well implemented. There some interesting decisions with sound design in the battles that I think I just need to play more to understand, but it seems like the music shifts depending on what is occurring, which is cool. None of the tracks stand out to me so far though, which is a shame. "You are the ocean's gray waves" comes into my mind every so often, and I miss that.

Price of game: 10/10. No MTX BS, no content cut before launch just to sell as DLC. Just a really great game for $60.

Extrinsic positive/negatives: +0/-1 points for auto advance/auto-scroll during conversations not being as tight as it should be. This may seem like a minor nitpick to some, but when the story and the characters are this good, I just want to enjoy them like a movie, not continuously click after their lines are delivered.

Average score: 9.3/10. I got the game a day early and said, "oh wth, I will just play an hour or two." I had planned to play considerably the next day, but since it came a day early, why not, right? Well, I ended up playing for five or six hours and I did not realize it. Because I was just having fun. Having said that, I am only about eight hours in now, so I will be returning to update this review as I play through the rest of the game.

I hope this review helps you make an informed decision.

Un imperdible dentro de la biblioteca de Switch

Reviewed in Mexico on April 30, 2020

Platform: Nintendo SwitchEdition: StandardVerified Purchase

Si bien Fire emblem nunca fue una de las franquicias mas conocidas o exitosas fuera del continente asiatico, desde el lanzamiento de Fire emblem awakening la franquicia ha ido aumentando en popularidad. Three Houses es un excelente juego del genero RPG/Tactico, que agrega toques de exploración muy al estilo de la saga de PERSONA a mi parecer.
Desde el lanzamiento de Fire emblem Radiant Dawn la franquicia de la gran N, no había lanzado titulos para sus consolas de sobre mesa y en esta ocasión regresa de una forma espectacular, es uno de los juegos que mejor aspecto visual maneja en la Switch.
La historia es bastante extensa ya que cuenta con 3 camapañas, los Golden Deer, black eagles y los blue lions pudiendo el jugador elegir que campaña recorrera, y cada campaña cuenta con sus finales por lo que si quieren completar el juego les llevara una buena cantidad de tiempo.
El gameplay ha cambiado muy poco ya que antes el sistema de juego empleaba el sistema de piedra papel y tijeras, es decir la espada era efectiva contra unidades que usabam hacha, las unidades con hacha contra las de lanza y las de lanza contra las unidades con espadas, se cambio un poco este sistema para agregar un poco mas de reto al juego. Sigue manteniendose el sistema por turnos en el cual nos movemos por el tablero como si de un juego de ajedrez se tratara por lo que deberas moverte con cuidado si es que no quieres perder a tus unidades, ya que recordemos que la saga cuenta con la opción en la que si matan a alguna de tus unidades esta muere de forma permanente.
El juego se siente muy bien en switch es de los pocos juegos que tanto en modo portatil, como en modo tv se puedem disfrutar ya que se ve muy bien en ambos modos, el cambio de equipo siendo antes intelligent system y ahora Koei Tecmo es que le sento bastante bien, el juego en general es muy bueno, ampliamente recomendado, un must have en la biblioteca de juegos de todos los poseedores de una Switch.

Nomás había jugado el FE Heroes de teléfono, pero nada como jugar a una edición más completa.
Además de las batallas, tiene todo un sistema similar al de Persona 5 en donde realizas diferentes actividades según el mes y el día y estableces vínculos con los diferentes personajes según tu elección. Requiere tiempo y paciencia, pero pronto se vuelve muy adictivo. Todo sea por seducir a las mamis
