Fire Emblem: Three Houses Engadget Preview ( Previews coming soon?)

89+ MC seems a lock. The game is relatively polished (in terms of UI features), is apparently smooth enough to play to get people to replay immediately, has a lot of content that reviewers would like out of an SRPG, is fully voiced, etc.
Never played any of these games, are they good? Can anyone recommend a good video that gives a good overview of the game and what type of game it is?
I wish main characters that "died" in battle in Classic mode would just injure them for X number of battles, not permanently.
It's looking to be great. The Treehouse Live did a pretty good overview:
I think that there's going to be a significant number of outlets that ding it for the visuals, which it must be admitted aren't great. Hard to argue that this game is a technical masterpiece.

That's what casual mode is for. You can give yourself that challenge while you play, like people who do the Pokémon Nuzlocke challenge.
Have you ever played a SRPG? Fire Emblem is pretty easy to learn as far as SRPGs go.
I highly doubt that most reviewer really care. Games rarely get penalized for disappointing visuals, specially Switch games where the expectations are already pretty low when it comes to that.
Yeah, that's how I play it currently. I just can't deal with the idea of losing a main character for ever.

IGN: Why can't I play as a Mii character.
Gamespot: I want to play as a Mii.
Mm, maybe. This is the first Switch game I've followed this closely before release lol.
I don't know.
I feel visuals only truly affect scores when they're really good or really bad/just bad in general.
Anything not offensively bad or just good/decent doesn't reflect on the score.
Personally, i don't think graphics is going to affect too much in the reviews. It's going to live and die on its gameplay, writing and Characters. Most reviewers probably aren't going in expecting a graphical showcase for a fire emblem game.
I'm pretty into what I read in the Engadget preview. It's been long enough now that I'm hopefully no longer burned out on the gameplay from playing too much FE Heroes (which I think led to me dropping Valentia really early on in the game), and all the contrasts drawn between this and Fates sound like moves in the right direction, though I did enjoy Fates quite a bit.
Never played a Fire Emblem game before but this looks like something I'll enjoy immensely.
Kinda reminds of Romance of the Three Kingdoms (specifically IX since I played that a lot), in that it mixes a lot of management systems with tactical combat.

Fire Emblem: Three Houses OT I If the teacher doesn't come back in 5 years we're allowed to kill each other
I understood that reference.gif
This should be the OT title.
This is now my most excited FE game yet. Fates took me out of this series a bit, even though overall I enjoyed my play through, but I really loved echoes and am excited that this game is taking a lot from it (turnwheel, combat arts, exploration, etc).
The first trailer wasn't too enticing, but the more I see and hear from this the more I want it.
I'm preloaded and ready to go.

Same. It's seriously killing me. Lemme know which you choose, I'm hoping we can get to know the characters of each a little bit before the decision.
For what it's worth, you can now repair weapons, as in FE4. They no longer shatter at 0 uses, they just become significantly weakened until repaired.
Broken weapons stay in your inventory and can be repaired later, iirc
Weaker and unable to use arts so it is like a mana bar like someone previously said
Tying skills to weapon degredation actually makes it a potentially interesting and worthwhile system. I never cared for it previously as it wasn't really challenging or interesting to manage that resource in past games. It was needless busy work so I was happy to see it go. But now with skills it dramatically increases their value and need to manage their use, at least in a per encounter basis until they can be repaired.
it's funny you say that because, someone correct me if i'm wrong, but I do believe it is the team at Koei-Tecmo that worked on the Three Kingdom series that have been doing the bulk of the work on this game.
Too many folks going Black Eagles per the other thread's poll - Blue Lions for me.
still not an easy choice :(
That is worth something to me :P I bought the game regardless so it's not too bad for me just never saw the point of it just made it less fun.
I'm getting more and more hyped for this that I am playing more Fire Emblem Heroes to fill the void. Now I could try to finish up Echoes but I don't want to burn myself out before even starting Three Houses so Heroes will have to do to pick that itch.
I loved both Awakening and Fates, and this looks even better than both. Seriously can't wait for this one, hype levels are at max.
I'm all about that Normal/Casual with my own rule set. I'll play and restart missions if someone dies BUT if I absolutely can't beat the mission without losing someone I like having the safety net there.
I'm all about that Hard/Classic lifestyle. Modern Fire Emblem games aren't especially difficult most of the time on Normal, so removing permadeath and throwing in some optional grinding tends to make them even easier. Hopefully, the return of the Turnwheel mechanic will be enough of a cushion to prevent me from getting too frustrated with resets. There were definitely some moments in Fates: Conquest that made me wish I wasn't so OCD about keeping everyone alive.
Also, in casual you can grind with extra battles, in classic not.
At least it was like this in Fates
So I am not the only one who plays Fire Emblem games with this "strange" rule set. At the end it is basically the same as Classic, but if someone dies in the very last turn after a very long battle, at least I can decide not to redo everything.
I don't really know what MC prediction to make >.< You'd think it scores over Fates, but Fates had ridiculous scores, so even though I should bet above that... I really don't want to.

If you change that to Wii, it starts to sound like a couple of Radiant Dawn reviews.
Oh man, Path of Radiance is my favourite by far. It stands head and shoulders above Blazing Blade, Shadow Dragon and Sacred stones, mostly due to story, although the Laguz were a great mechanic, too.
I think that's the joke.
Can't believe that was ever an actual criticism in a review.
