You're complaining about difficulty after playing it on the easiest difficulty setting? 🤔
Perhaps this game could be on the road to 5 million. It seems to be beating out every other Fire Emblem in nearly every market by a wide margin and hopefully it'll have decent legs to boot. With just how good the game has been so far, it more than deserves it
Wait, you're playing on Normal? Dude, just play on Hard...on Casual then in later run to minimize any annoyances
I'm not complaining at all... I was just stating my experience & that I'm excited to try the harder difficulty setting... Not sure where in there was me complaining about the difficulty?
I think word of mouth is the determining factor here. I know in my own circle, Its agreed that this is the best fire emblem and even on par with BOTW/SMO as killer apps go. Hopefully the sales match the effort and quality put into three houses.
Ehh...the art and presentation are pretty lacking, if you ask me. It has great voice work and character design but the environment and lack of polish are really disappointing
"Goodness, there's no challenge to this." sounds like a complaint?
Thank you, this game absolutely deserves good sales so that they can understand it is a correct path to follow. I also think that in France sales will be quite good, for this reason it will be interesting to analyze the data.
Didn't you make the thread about playing it on easiest mode and not being ashamed :P
As for me I did Normal Casual bc i suck at these types of games but it has been pretty easy which is kind of a relief because the story is getting so good I just wanna keep progressing. Plus it feels good to have my students be so great on the battlefield, like I really haven't failed them at being a good teacher lol.
I swear sometimes Petra's character model looks like she wears a monocle and has a mustache.
That figure was counting DLC purchases of other routes, so Awakening is almost certainly the best seller still when not counting DLC.
Re-read what you quoted. I didn't say that. Did you misquote someone? I said it was "pretty simple" & "wasn't very challenging overall," but that doesn't remotely mean I didn't enjoy it. My plan the whole time was normal for the first route & hard for subsequent routes when I learn the systems. I think you're just seeing something that I didn't say at all.
Yeah, I went to Classic rather than Casual.
I stuck to Normal because I figured Classic/Normal is a good compromise. It wasn't.
I usually played on Normal in the past Fire Emblem games, but for 3H I tried Hard (Casual, of course) and it seems an average difficulty between the old Normal and Hard. The only difficulties I am getting are due to the fact that I am stupid and I prepared my team in a way that I cannot exploit anymore... and now it is really Hard mode.
Well deserved. This game has been essentially gaming crack for me over the last week. 30 hours in so far, and unless it decides to take a hard left turn somewhere in the story, it's most likely going to end up being my GOTY for the year.
I don't know if I've quite experienced that, like that's just amusing, but I do feel that the environments often times look like an HD Wii game
It came out in a pretty quiet time, good marketing, on a super popular console. Good for them..... now fix the damn LGBTQ shit god damn guys
That's Slander against the Emperor that is! Basically every female Black Eagle are both powerhouses and great characters, especially Bernadetta and Petra. I'll give you that the guys are kind of meh though.
Been enjoying this game so much. I go home from work, eat a quick dinner and immediately hop back in. They've also created a foundation of a much bigger world they could revisit if they wanted to. Will be even better once lunatic mode drops.
Well deserved for the GOTY.
After Fates's awful writing and multiple version fuckery, they corrected course in pretty much every way possible, and I'm loving every minute of it.
Crazy how Fire Emblem went from being that obscure series from Smash Bros, to almost getting completely axed before Awakening came along, to becoming a major seller for Nintendo. What a rollercoaster of a success story.

I doubt we'll get a sequel. Fire Emblem games tend to be 1 off stories. Hopefully the next cast of characters/setting/story follows the examples set by Three Houses though.
Glad to hear. I was a bit worried after Fates. While I still enjoyed it some, I found Fates to be such a bloated rehash of Awakening.
Whoops, my mistake, you were right. I thought that was really weird! I probably fat finger clicked the wrong quote on mobile. My sincerest apologies.
"Why is that guy upside down? This game probably sucks."
I don't doubt we're getting another game set in FĂłdlan though. The only continents only used once were Magvel and Fateslandia. Now if it's going to be a sequel, prequel, midquel or whatever we'll have to wait and see
On the contrary, I don't think so.
Most sequels/prequels had space to tell more of its story (like, the ending of PoR left enough space to see what happened after, and Binding Blade didn't touch on what happened before Roy, so you had space for FE7) but Three Houses doesn't have a canon ending - and giving one will be a nice way to piss off the fanbase - and a prequel seems more like as a DLC, since the game elaborates a bit on what happened before the game.
I think they'll reuse the model - instructing the units somehow and leaving free exploration of some place - but they'll move to a different story.
If sales are good enough i think these characters could have their second game, easily. Probably the most charming, interesting fire emblem cast ever.
Like, i wouldn't mind getting rid of most FE characters in smash for Byleth + the three lords.
I'd love that it was that way and that we say more of these characters, but honestly, how could it be if
You end up killing most of the characters that aren't in your house?
They'd have to choose an ending, make it canon and built from there, and that would exclude characters from the two other houses.
I think they built the story in a way that it was self contained, which isn't bad at all. Not all tales need to be continued.
Now, I wouldn't mind if they replaced all current FE characters in Smash with the three lords and Byleth - we'd actually get weapon variety instead of only swords!
A really cool way thing they could do is, if you have save data from your Three Houses playthrough, it could be transferred to the sequel game, and will change how the story unfolded in Fodlan. Without spoiling anything, let's say you transfer your completed Golden Deer save data, the events that unfolded in that timeline will be reflected upon in the sequel game.
They could do a lot really, they did a good job with the world building of Fodlan, so it's an open book as far as sequels are concerned. Even a prequel focused on the Adestrian Empire before it was split off into the Kingdom of Faerghus and Leicester Alliance, or the Invasion of Dagda, would be great.
Mercedes is straight up the best healer in the game, Dimitri has the best set of growths in the game and is an absolute monster, Annette slays everything with magic, Dedue is an amazing tank, Felix kills everything and they're all fantastically written
I'm almost sure you can have a run that
the only characters that die are Dimitri, Dedue and Rhea. Seteth and Flayn just go into hiding if you kill them
Great news! I hope Nintendo can keep up with demand for copies, I won't have a Switch until around Christmas I imagine. Really hoping I can nab a physical copy by then.
