It's just a really bad name; the Japanese version has a lot more meaning behind its name than "there are three main powers on this continent that will play a role in the story with various characters pertaining to each main power".
No way they're doing two or three versions again.
I have (misplaced?) faith that they won't make the same mistake twice in a row.
That is: one version.
The japanese name is also terrible to translate so the fault relies more on who chose the japanese name than the localization imo
I doubt it has three routes, but perhaps it could be like radiant dawn where you control multiple armies, switching perspective depending on the chapter.
"Four Seasons"? It's not really that odd if you don't attempt to translate the kanji individually.
Translating directly, it'd be actually Fire Emblem: Wind, Flower, Snow, Moon. However, those are actually a reference to an old Chinese expression which came to be known in Japan as referencing the beauty of nature, with each element there referencing one season - Winds of Summer, Flowers of Spring, Snow of Winter and Moon of Autumn.
Oh so that's the problem. Interesting name, The tree houses is doll next to this. Gotta agree with NSESN here, 4 seasons would have been better then, heh.
Thanks guys for answering! :)
Three Houses is a much better name than Awakening, which really conveyed absolutely nothing about what it was.
3H gives an immediate feeling of political conflict, which, yeah, calls to mind Game of Thrones.
I don't say that to deride Awakening, but FE titles have been rather generic or meaningless outside of Genealogy. At least 3H tells us something meaningful.

I'm all for the name if it's is a slow play to prepare the world for a Genealogy remake
name a 1st party series that hasn't hit it big on Switch compared to the previous 3DS/Wii U entries
In line with what theprodigy said, I think the only way it doesn't do well is if they totally drop the ball on the marketing side and treat it like a C-level franchise.
Which seems unlikely, if only because FEH exists now
I'd put that sort of directly descriptive relevance behind sounding appealing and concise on their own merits - I'd much rather a title be vaguely appropriate and attractive sounding (Awakening, Fates, Heroes, Echoes without the subtitle all work in this regard) rather than sacrifice that to be more descriptive but still clunkier as a result (unless you're going in the complete opposite direction for comic effect like "Summertime High School: A Young Man's Notes—How a New Exchange Student Like Myself Ran Into His Childhood Friend on the School Tour, Then for Some Reason Became Super-Popular with the Girls for His Daily Scoops on the School Photography Club Even Though He Only Takes Panty Shots, and What He Thinks as He Goes on Dates During His Summer of Island School Life") - the title in itself is a piece of marketing, and Three Houses makes it awkward to even refer to the game when talking about it.
The title, visual direction and marketing certainly won't sink the game, which is guaranteed to be a success regardless, but it also doesn't mean they're the optimal approach to take.
Fates also had those rad renders of pegasus knights and monsters and castle sieges. It was a strong first reveal. Plus it was the lead video in a direct. It made a strong impression.
This just felt like 2000's era Intellegent Systems. Just like, "oh yeah another one of those FE games."
Lots of time though. Maybe they can do something more interesting for the next showcase.
So as someone who have only played Awakening and Birthright, decided to try to catch up on the series before Three Houses.
Currently playing Fire Emblem GBA (just finished Lyn's story, which I believe tutorial part of the game), any tips on how to manage limited exp and money (Awakening/Birthright spoiled me....) ? I worry I messed up and ended up with broken playthrough...

You shouldn't be able to mess yourself up too badly.
.
I can see how it might seem a bit intimidating to have to worry about how you're spending money compared to other entries, but if you just focus on topping up weapons low on uses you should have no problems with it.

Okay, after doing several Eliwood mission (which is tougher than anything in Lyn chapter), I'm starting to get a hang on managing EXP between units. It's actually kinda cool, adding another layer of stratregy and decision in combat.
Also lmao at the prepromoted Paladin, is it a tradition in the series to include a prepromoted super strong unit early in the game ? I should not bother levelling him right ?
Also I feel like the story so far seems to be much better paced than Awakening and Fates. There aren't any awkward jump between events, somehow it reminds me more of FFTactics than the 3DS FE.
Haha, maybe the guy was doing a bare minimum run.
And yeah the story is leagues above the mess that is Fates, and I prefer FE7's story and characters over Awakening's.
Yeah. The pre-promoted unit given early on is given in pretty much every game. You can level him up if you want, he's not a terrible unit and he's only going to make the game easier for you early on. I don't like using Marcus since I usually get a promoted Sain a few chapters later and I prefer Kent and Sain over Lowen and Marcus. Nothing stopping you from using all four though, paladins are pretty good units in general.

Well FE 7 ranked on the top rpg list. Since it ranked so early is a chance PoR and Awakening ranking higher than it, that is if they rank at all. I'd be surprised if PoR ranks higher, always felt like 7 got more love. Wouldn't be surprised about Awakening since it pushed the series to mainstream.
Don't expect any other title to show up.

FE7 is more popular but I always felt the Tellius games(or at least PoR) are received better
I dunno, iirc the r/fe rankings says something different, I don't remember who posted the rankings tho, may Drax
Path of Radiance has a good story but it might be the FE that is least fun to actually play imo
It desperately needs a slight remastering that speeds up its excruciatingly slow animations. I've attempted to replay it multiple times in the past few years, and those are always a dealbreaker after awhile.
Fun? Yes. Tedious due to sluggish animation? Also yes.
I wasn't just talking about the animation, the maps are bad and boring*
*by FE standards. FE gameplay is fundamentally strong enough that I don't really dislike any of the games in the series

I don't think I agree with Path of Radiance having bad levels at all. It certainly has more interesting maps than Blazing Blade (up until maybe the last third / quarter of the game, where things do start to drop off). I'd probably argue that it's the best game in the series up to that point minus Thracia based on the strength of the first 70% of its runtime, even with the slow animations.
but it's so easy tho, at least Blazing Blade has some challenging maps
PoR has some real stand out maps, just like most other FE.
Can't remember a single map from Awakening.

PoR is mindnumbingly slow and also has laguz which alot of people don't mind but some do mind when 7 and 8 don't have them.
I would say that PoR is very mixed in its reception compared to 7, like even PKGaming and I don't really hate 7. But the people that love por LOVE por.
I do think Awakening's worst maps were 100% ripped from gaiden though.
I find it very hard to go back to Awakening after Echoes as well. QoL has skyrocketed during the 3ds era.

Awakening's maps had some variation. The story maps, in general, were pretty uninteresting - with a few exceptions. There were some great paralogue maps, though.
I just personally never loved pair up. It's a mechanic that's never quite felt right to me.
