Yes, but that's the accepted ludonarrative dissonance of the series :P. And I actually don't think there's anything too out there about 'training' to get stronger in-between battles...

What do you think of Fire Emblem Three Houses' school setting?
- Thread starter texhnolyze
- Start date
I'll try to keep an open mind but I'm a little less optimistic upon hearing about the school thing. It completely wrecked Valkyria Chronicles from a story perspective, and I've never really gotten over it.
I disagree, several of the characters definitely look like they could be 15/16. You really think these two are 18+?
I'm honestly indifferent about it, doesn't bother me, wouldn't have thought too much about that one aspect if people hadn't mentioned it here. It's just a Fire Emblem game to me, seems like that is this games 'home base' type thing, not really a big deal?
But I like anime so the "F**K THIS ANIME TRASH GAME NINTENDO YOU'RE DUMB!" makes me sad to read as well.

I love the Fire Emblem games but I honestly don't remember the stories. I know there is was a time travel one in the first 3DS game. But the rest is just a blur of fun battles. I am excited, its like a lil game of thrones with some Harry Potter. I dig it.
Hmm you may have a point. We'll have to wait and see, but you get to play as the teacher am I right???I disagree, several of the characters definitely look like they could be 15/16. You really think these two are 18+?
Oh yeah localization. Upon further reflection I agree that student teacher romances are hard coded into the game's premise. Supports will be in and they will be with the Avatar and they don't have a reason (besides tact) to not make them end romantically. Treehouse would have to go in pretty hard to scrub evidence of that though.
... well maybe no one supports the Avatar. They didn't have very many dialogue boxes in the trailer so maybe they're not super involved.
Having competing factions manifest as a school setting seems like a fine setup and it serves as a good replacement hub for MyCastle too. Not against it! Cautiously optimistic.
Indifferent right now but that could change in either direction to how it's handled in the story. Fates looked like it was going the right direction with all the released trailers with choosing between an adopted family and your real one and then bungled it every way imaginable during the actual game.
The over world looking bland and some of the indistinguishable character designs look more of a problem for me so far.

I would love to see everyone saying it's trash when it gets closer to release and we see what the game holds
I'm surprisingly on board with the school setting. If you told me I'd say that before having watched the video, I probably wouldn't have believed you.
I mean, having the main character as a professor teaching and leading a unit makes a lot more sense than previous protagonist roles. Remember how it used to be random stranger with amnesia suddenly being nominated as lead tactician for a rebellion?

Yeah, but the way the Direct presented it made me think there would be three different routes, which still reminds me of Fates. Or did I misinterpret it?
Only if it's American high school so we don't have to bother with pandering uniforms for female characters.
Remember the Japanese gaming laws: All females must wear miniskirts and/or some form of thigh-high stockings. Absolutely no pants allowed! unless they're super tight.

Disappointed. Fire Emblem hasn't been the same since Awakening, but whatever. I'll probably skip it like I skipped the last game.
not giving hope that the school part is just a prologue of sorts. if it isnt, then yeah, its a hard pass for me

What? Of course not. Soldiers start from being recruits, they're fresh soldiers who can do nothing.
To be fair, you're playing the role of the teacher rather than the student. That in itself is a huge departure from the usual, and I am kinda interested in that angle, which also makes perfect sense for the role you as the player have in FE games as the commander of a fighting force, and it also links the mechanical and narrative investment in the performance of your students organically. That's pretty neat.
Cardcaptor Sakura did it with a grown ass man and a little girl.
Before Fates and Heroes, I would have been indifferent or still pretty interested. After those, IS has a lot to prove, especially when it comes to a school setting. Prove me wrong and don't have gross sexualization and creepy shit with characters who look twelve.
Currently, I'm in the "it's trash" gang.

It makes more sense to learn to use a new weapon or horse riding in a military academy than in a camp in the middle of a war
It turned me off but I'll probably buy it anyway.
I was so hype to see battles more fully realized but knowing that most of your units are just high school kids kinda kneecaps that vision a bit. But hey, I enjoyed Code Geass back in the day and that war had plenty of High School students.

I actually think there's a decent possibility that the avatar won't have romantic supports. I mean, do people really care who the avatar hooks up with? It's all the other pairings that people get into, no? The avatar in the 3DS games always felt like a bland cipher to me. I think you could totally get away with just pairing off the students (or possibly giving the avatar romance options only with other instructors? because they're definitely in the game, just a matter of whether they're playable).
But also Japan can be terrible with this kind of thing so who the hell knows.
Unfortunately this is a series staple, school or not. In fact the school setting might save us from the elises and rickens
Maybe if this was made by Matsuno, I'd have more hope for this kind of scenario. From current IS, I'm awaiting ~awkward moments~ between teacher and a particularly sexy, totally 14.. I mean 18 year old student during swimming exercise or beach episode. Or even if they keep things more appropriate with teacher never lusting after students and only having student on student relations, still doing something gross with underage (looking) characters.
I mean. I thought so. I just don't understand why Fates has petting then. And the S-rank support confessions in Awakening/Fates for the Avatar were more involved than the rest. Pretty sure that if Byleth is a Robin/Corrin style avatar that it's a given, even with the power dynamics. Alas.
I'm feeling trepidation over the setting.
Here's the thing about games in school setting that I hate in one screenshot:
What's one of the hallmarks of Fire Emblem? Every unit is a unique character, with their own personality.
So what do we do? Stick them all in the same uniform!
Hope you like identifying people solely by their hair!

There's a hell of a lot of potential in this, and I want to believe in it. But the idea that IS might be letting you, the teacher, S Rank your students and that.... that scares me quite a lot.
lol at all the negative people here, we have not seen enough to say the setting is trash.
I mean, a school setting is not a bad thing per se, see Harry Potter and Persona.
It actually makes sense, you are the teacher and train and give directions to your students, so that they grow stronger (level up) and forge bonds.
I'm excited to see more.
