Fire Emblem: Three Houses Preview Thread (Including Opening Cinematic)
- Thread starter Xavi
- Start date
- Status
I've been reading the previews, and the comments about the lack of difficulty on normal mode convinced me - I'm going on Hard/classic for my first playthrough.
Plus, nothing can be worse that Radiant Dawn's Hard mode chapters when you are forced to use the Dawn Brigade. Well, nothing except Thracia 776 BS.

@ Character ages ... with these ages, they're almost due to old man / old lady jokes in anime JRPG terms of age after the time-skip. ^^
There was a thread about them ... try a search, it shouldn't be too long ago.

Here's the full leak thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/fireemblem/comments/bovt8v/three_houses_spoiler_thread/
And here's a few summaries of the leaks: https://www.reddit.com/r/fireemblem...ibomb_three_houses_rumors_summarycompilation/
Fairly certain you're remembering wrong. We saw a screenshot of the Blue Lions support list and none of the men had an S rank support with M!Byleth.
Edit: Maybe this doesn't mean no flirting, because we don't know exactly how romances work in this game. But all of the girls had S rank options.
Right, cause the lack of feet was such a glaring and ever present problem that the game never let you forget and irreparably marred the entire presentation and experience.
Claude isnt even confirmed tho, so you are looking at the opposite scenario, fbyleth with 3 choices and mbyleth with none
Fingers crossed, but it sounds like IS may have accomplished the impossible here. A FE that will appeal to both sides of the fan base, while bumping up the overall ambition of the title at the same time. Super excited to try out all of the new mechanics and to dig further into the story. Hoping the sales reflect the effort that went in to this.
Huh - somehow I missed the fact that magic is based on your actual magic skills instead of having tomes - seems an interesting 'compromise' between old games, and Echoes 'use health up' to cast spells mechanic.
Curious to see how powerful/how many uses you can end up getting at higher levels.
Other than that, previews definitely got me hyped.
Black Eagles forever!
(for the first playthrough)
IIRC there are no indications of any 'exclusively' gay/lesbian options, no.

Yep.
Ideally all three house leaders would be romanceable by both Byleths but if it isn't spoilery to reveal Edelgard is an option then Claude and Dimitri are out of the running IMO.
and that is why sword of creator didn't hit her in that shot huh.
It was cool to see this preview in the OP. Their enthusiasm (and screenshots) are encouraging. That said, is a character like Claude actually romanceable by Male Byleth? After reading the below, I'm still thinking the rumor may end up being correct.
Lysithea and Mercedes are the exeptions to this, i think Lysithea is 15 because she's some sort of prodigy and Mercedes was i think 23 for some reason i don't remember.
Wait.
If Edelgard is a not spoiler option then Claude can't be one.
yeah we see Lysithea's age in another preview as 15. Raphael and Lorenz are 18 and Marianne and Ignatz are 17.
You mentioned this in the other thread as well, what are you referring to?
What happened in a Radiant Dawn review. I think it was form Gamespot.
Here are some master tier classes, still pre-timeskip so I'm assuming more open up post-timeskip
Looks like Falcon Knight, Wyvern Lord, Swordmaster, Paladin, Mounted Archer (forgot class name), Dark Knight, Troubadour and Sage?
I really hope there more, as these are "just" the standard stuff ever present. Needs me some more of the more exotic stuff, like War Monk, a Three Houses equivalent to Kinshi Knight and so on.
Thanks for the response. That really sucks. Cannot take away even a single waifu or husbando from the straight crowd.
I think previewers had to start with the Edelgard route and can't talk about the others.
We are Horse Emblem now.Here are some master tier classes, still pre-timeskip so I'm assuming more open up post-timeskip

Also it is confirmed that Byleth is around the same age as the students, dunno if we knew this already. From the GX video
Ferdinand: I hear we are rather close in age Professor. I hope you do not mind if we treat you like one of us.

https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/07/12/fire-emblem-three-houses-a-look-at-all-the-classes IGN video showing off the classes, its a bit more varied. Also we don't see whatever class Dimitri was in that commercial post time skip, so I'm assuming more unlock as you go on
Love the outfit design in this game
Yeah this is possible. Also worth noting that Claude might be spoilery because he wasn't explicitly leaked
i haven't really been keeping up with the info about this game, so i have a question:
when you start the game, you pick one of the three houses and that affects the story, right? so once you're finished, is there a point to going back and picking one of the other two? do you basically re-start the game or is the second campaign shorter/fast-tracked because you've finished the game once?

Swordmaster and Paladin are Advanced classes. Trueblade and Great Knight, maybe?
There's only two on foot, better practice your riding and flying y'all.
I actually didn't like how they focused too much on romance after those, i felt like every character i interacted with was only interested in flirting, which made the games lose part of their magic and political war story to me. but it seems I'm in the minority here. anyway with Three Houses it seems they have done it right this time and there is a lot more to the story/lore/characters than romance!
Dimitri probably has some special Lord class promotion, just like all the others did before. Normally, all of the House leaders should have such one?
AH! You're right!
Paladin would be Gold Knight or, yes, maybe Great Knight, if they keep the names from previous games. Sword could be Dread Fighter like in Echoes?
E: Though, Great Knight was more of an side promotion in Sacred Stones. Hmm dunno.
I don't think it's been (yet) specifically stated, but I would imagine you re-start the whole game - the characters react differently to events unfolding, have different personalities and such, etc...
Then again, there apparently is a NG+ benefit (presumably things like your professor level and maybe a few stat boosts/bonuses), but I don't think we know quite what that entails.
As far as I can tell you basically start over, yeah. I don't think you can skip the first few hours like in Fates.
But you can automate some school stuff.

You can even get different outcomes with one playthrough.
I am ok with both, but I do hope the next game is more like Tellius and dont have romance, we dont need romance in every game
Opening song
I think this contain massive spoiler.

I don't think that's ever happening again tbh. Romance is a huge part of Fire Emblem's modern identity and was one of the reasons Awakening saved the franchise.
The ending credits show something like "Character name - fell in battle"
No problem once you promoted to Fortress Knight / General. ^^
I was gonna get it digital... now i wont because i want it physical. God damn. I'll have to wait until december! Shit!
Oh, god. So for those of us who have ever seen literally any trope before in our entire lives, I wonder if there will be anything interesting in these character stories, or the same bland retreads?
I'm out. My hype was hopelessly extinguished after they told us you would be a teacher and I knew you would be inevitably romancing your students in a way only Japan wouldn't find creepy, but it never came up, and I started to acquire hype again, one quanta at a time.
So much for that. Thank you IS for more waifu trash.
