Nintendo might have accidentally shown footage of new DLC/an extended version of Fire Emblem: Three Houses.
- Thread starter Homura
- Start date
I mean, maybe target/dev build before they had to reduce the visuals to run well on the Switch? The game struggles as is.
Very odd but I don't think it's anything to get excited about. It seems like a weird mistake. I mean, maybe it's a "Switch Pro" feature but I don't think DLC at this point makes sense nor does a complete edition type release as Nintendo doesn't do those. Though I would love an extended Crimson Flower campaign.
I'm on team "old build," especially since multiple details line up with older pre-release footage.
We're almost certainly not getting anything else for FE3H. IIRC devs already said there wasn't any more DLC planned at the time of Cindered Shadows' release.
Hopefully we'll get an FE4 remake at least revealed this year, though.

Another sign that IS is done with the game is that we're getting the soundtrack release this month. They usually wait until the game is done before releasing the OST, to include all the music from the DLC.
It could potentially be a FEW2, but I wouldn't get my hopes up.

Most of the details about their story are in Golden Deer route.
The 3ds cart with all 3 campaigns was limited edition and is likely very expensive now. Your best bet is just to buy either Birthright or Conquest and then buying the other 2 campaigns as DLC. Be cautious about playing them back to back, it's quite easy to burn out on Fates.
For what it's worth, I think Awakening is significantly better than Fates and I don't think I'm alone in that opinion.
Fates isn't worth it. Skip it straight to Shadows of Valentia. If you really want to try it, get one of the games and see if you can stomach the bad writing.
I have the special edition game and you don't know how much I regret spending money on it.
Damn, that's quite a strong statement
I'll stick with Awakening for now and then decide afterwards whether I'll try fates or go straight to shadows Valentia, thanks a lot
Fire Emblem Conquest has the best gameplay and level design of all modern Fire Emblem (and perhaps all Fire Emblem, period).
I would play Fates, but only Conquest, the gameplay is fantastic. Just bear in mind that it's generally considered the worst written of the three.
Shadows of Valentia is a completely different animal. The gameplay is terrible IMO, and the story is nothing spectacular, especially in the later parts. It's the only game in the series I've played and never bothered to revisit. I feel like most people just prop it up because of it's aesthetics, and as a reaction against Fates.
There was a great "vindication" feeling with Shadow of Valentia like "This is the true Fire Emblem we fans want!"
It had a good designs, graphics and music ...But the level design is terrible and enemies who spam summoning more enemies make it even more tedious. And the gameplay is not much better.
Maybe, but that means nothing to me when I really couldn't care less about the characters, and was actively trying to end all levels quickly to get to the end, permadeath and lost units be damned.
I'm not asking FE to be the pinnacle of storytelling, just to be slightly coherent.
But let's not derail the topic, there's plenty of other threads that can be used to debate Fates' pros and cons.
Here my take on the 3DS Fire Emblem games:
Fates: Conquest - Best gameplay and maps. Mediocre Characters. Bad Story.
Awakening - Best Characters and story. Mediocre Maps.
Echoes - Best Art Style. Mediocre Story. Bad Gameplay and Maps. (I love Fire Emblem and I couldn't even finish it...)
I really enjoyed Awakening despite the maps being fairly boring. I had a lot of fun with the challenge of Conquest, despite the story being nonsense. I didn't really enjoy echoes at all. I had a blast with Three Houses, but I'm not sure how I'd compare it with the 3DS games, it felt a little different for whatever reason.

I'm on Team "There's going to be more DLC for Three Houses because otherwise what we got is kind of weak? So maybe this is teasing a What If scenario like what if Edelgard did her war crimes earlier?".
Either way, FE4 remake is the more likely release for Fire Emblem given it's that entry's 25th, it's been teased several times in the past, Three Houses almost shamelessly "takes inspiration" from that title (for better or for worse) and they postponed work for remaking another Fire Emblem game on the 3DS a while back (For the record, Three Houses also started on the 3DS, or at least was planned for it).
Heroes was a mistake.

Of course they gave Edelgard boob armor.
Heroes was a mistake.
I got corrected multiple times after I posted that, but it wasn't actually from Heroes, it's the final class promotion in TH.
I'm still blaming Heroes even though Three Houses had boob armor for certain classes that I will also not get over.
Also i'm pretty sure that the artwork does come from Heroes, irrespective of the class it's representing.
It's weird in general. FE3H should not struggle like it does at its visual level. There are Wii U games that look and run better on the Wii U
Absolutely agree on that. Not sure what the deal is but it doesn't seem that well optimised at all.
Don't blame Heroes here. The artwork and the model are from Three Houses.
I bought the switch magnifying lense just to play this in portable mode.
The model is, the artwork that is based on said model is not.
