Fire Emblem: Three Houses Preview Thread (Including Opening Cinematic)

Then come the actual review and IGN and Gamespot will complain about not being able to playas their Mii.
Yeah, it's unfortunate, but as the article said, having representation at all puts it above most games of this ilk, and it definitely seems like there's been progress compared to fates
Okay, that opening cinematic is hyping me to unreasonable levels. Seiros is hugely different than I was expecting, and the scale and brutality of it is impressive as hell.
WE 👏 NEED 👏 MORE 👏 HOT 👏 TAN 👏 STUDS 👏 IN 👏 GAMESCan't properly confirm bi, but can confirm bottom:

Can you confirm there are indeed multiple male options, even if there are fewer than female options? (Thanks so much for the article and info btw!)
GameXplain says you spend enough time with all three houses that choosing one to side with is actually a really tough choice.
OP
OP
I can only speak about up to a certain part as per NDA, but it's looking hopeful that there are more LGBT+ choices this time around than there were in, say, Fates
So pretty much the only real negative is the graphics (which we already knew to not be great). Day 1 for me.
I disagree, if you are going to put an effort do it right, no reason why there are more female choices than males when there are equal number of male and female characters, that coupled with the female mc seemed to be designed to appeal to straight male crowd makes me believe they have put more female bi characters so they can pick fbyleth and still marry their waifu of choice.
Okay, definitely day one. My copy is already ordered from Amazon. I will NOT watch the opening ... avoided all spoilers so far
Sounds like it's about what we expected, but like others, I'll take it. Awakening was my closet key so queer options in Fire Emblem remain important to me. I am happy if nothing else that it continues to improve.
Yeah man.
Like there's stabbing and then there's stabbing.
That cutscene had the latter.

Keep these positive impressions coming.
Sounds like Derrick isn't far, and he's generally on the slower side when it comes to FE, but hearing he's spent 20ish hours just on the school part is exciting and scary since we know it's like a third of the story.
The gameplay sounds phenomenal and I can't wait to dig into it. I hope they've balanced the reclassing well enough and it does sound like it so far.
Hope the opening cutscene is up soon, looks great! FE is back!

Do we know if this game will even have marriage? There's no kids and past Fire Emblem games have had S supports without them ending in marriage in-game. Usually the marriage would be in the ending credits or something.
I mean, I'd be shocked if there wasn't some kind of way to declare a "relationship", but I actually don't *know* if there's marriage at all.

I'm an old Advance Wars fan who is mega salty about FE getting big as it basically killed off my fave (yes I know they're similar).
This just got me to plan to buy Three Houses, and I've never bought a Fire Emblem game before despite much of it being somewhat appealing, because I feel I need to support this. Great move.
So is it definitely possible to jump into this without having any prior knowledge of the series?
Definitely. I don't think there's been a Fire Emblem since Awakening that required any prior knowledge to enjoy. They're all very stand-alone, but this one seems especially so.
Yes! Most FE games are completely separate from the others. Save for some rare exceptions (Marth's, Roy's and Ike's games)
Only two more weeks until the Black Eagles can reign supreme. I'm very excited that the game is previewing well and can't wait to try it myself.
Aah just seen the opening and it wow, Seiros is ruthless. Opening with that definitely sets a very brutal tone and I love it.
Fire Emblem games are largely standalone, the only real exception is radiant dawn being a direct sequel to PoR and maybe Thracia (Haven't played it, but I do know it takes place during the middle of Genealogy with some of the same characters). Some FE games do take place in different parts of the same world (Gaiden/Echoes takes place on a different continent at around the same time as FE1/3, and Genealogy and Thracia are on yet another continent in that same world I believe), and in Awakening's case it takes place in the far future from the first FE game's world, but even then, most nods are pretty small.
Oh yeah, forgot about FE 6 and 7, but Given that 7 is a prequel to 6 (Roy's game) I'd argue even those can be played as standalone
Similarly my understanding of FE 3 is that it tells an abridged version of FE 1's story within itself and then expands with essentially a sequel afterwards
They've done much Darker before.
Tho it's usually in dialogue and during the time the graphics were sprites. Now that they can show it in cutscenes, it's can be more impactful and noticeable
