S4E30 - Fire Emblem Three Houses Initial Impressions - “No one believes in democracy here”

In This Episode:

Fire Emblem: Three Houses is a turn-based strategy RPG, but
it’s also totally a game like Persona where it’s just as much
about relationships on a one to one level as it is about the
battles

First time I’ve played FE not on a handheld system 

Radiant Dawn?





There hasn’t been one since the Fire Emblem on the
Nintendo Wii



Premise

Kingdom of Fargus?

Lester Alliance?

Something Empire?



Edelgard

Dimitri

Claude





Three countries on this continent

There’s a monastery in neutral ground in the middle of
the continent that happens to be the seat of the church and
also the training ground for officers from all the different
countries

The 3 houses in the school correspond to the 3 countries
on the continent

This year is special because future leaders from each
country are all studying at the monastery at the same time

You end up there kind of by accident but they make you a
professor and you have to pick a house to instruct



Houses



Blue Lions - Kingdom

Golden Deer - Alliance of Nobles

Black Eagles - Empire

No, they don’t believe in democracy here



No weapon triangle (sword, lance, axe)



This is probably the biggest initial change to adjust to



Quality of Life improvements in battles

It’s so much easier to make sure your characters don’t
end up somewhere that they’ll get killed because you
misjudged distance by one square on the grid



It’s limited to only a few times per battle

But, you can rewind time to any point in the battle
