Okay this is supposedly the best modern Fire Emblem game, but then people constantly complain how the maps are bad & constantly recycled, how the classes aren't balanced because there's no use not making everyone a wyvern rider unless they're a mage/healer, how the routes are samey especially the pre - timeskip section, how the monastary wears out it's welcome pretty quickly, how to games too easy on Normal & Hard, but starts bullshit hard on Maddening and then gets easy again and how the DLC is not worth it's value. Why is this considered to be the best Fire Emblem game in years if some people hate almost every aspect of the gameplay? I know people will bring up the story, but did people really play Fire Emblem for the story prior to this game?
Okay this is supposedly the best modern Fire Emblem game...
FE fans complain about everything.

Bernie! Bernie! Bernie!
What people?
Never played it. Why does the game look so fucking bad visually
>Okay this is supposedly the best modern Fire Emblem game
Best on the switch for sure but beyond that its basic
Because the other modern Fire Emblems' problems are even worse
It has best girl.
Half the people playing 3H have never touched another FE, and a fraction of that half played FE before Awakening.
I'm playing this for the sixth time.... never got a run as bad as this one.
I start new game from zero and I'm playing with the golden deer characters, all my character but Byleth, Claude and Hilda, and even though I just say this, Claude and Hilda aren't doing as great Claude is lacking a little strenght and Hilda is lacking speed.
I guess this is the firt time I will actually use the statues, that 5+ Str and 5+ Spd from Saint Cichol seems like it would help a lot.
I thought Lyn was considered to be the best girl in the entire series.
I really enjoyed it. Is it perfect? Absolutely not, but with 900 hours in it I was satisfied.
It's a good game, but I wouldn't ever go back to it now that I played all the routes. IF you want the best experience as a non FE fans, play through the Blue Lions house once and if you're still interested, go through the other routes.
>there's no use not making everyone a wyvern rider unless they're a mage/healer
Meaningless complaint because being that sweaty over 3H isn't necessary.
>900 hours
how in the fuck
that's like 50 playthroughs
I for example never did a full wyvern rider and beatthe game multiple times.
I think every Fire Emblem game does a good job at some things and an unexplainably bad one at others. Three Houses does a great job at presenting its characters, with the full voice acting and all of them having something to say about the current situation when you talk to them, and the gameplay and story are decent enough, but the maps are boring as hell.
FE as a series isn't good and this becomes apparent when you play SRPGs that aren't FE, but the problem is a lot of FE fans don't escape the FE bubble and instead just play other FE games.
Three Houses had a bad, convoluted story and samey maps, abusing Divine Pulse is also impossibly easy, BUT it had a nice cast of supporting characters which really carries it. You take that away and you have a really average SRPG.
the maps arent that bad, its just that they use each map like 5 times per playthrough
>EVERYONE wants fundamental changes to the unjust establishment government
>EVERYONE wants fundamental changes to the orthodox central church heresy
>NOBODY is willing to do anything about it except Edelgard
I've played this game three times now and I still don't have a clue about what the characters planned to do to bring about the changes they say they want so I can only conclude that Edelgard was 100% in the right. Even in the alternate timelines where she loses, the other lords are only able to take advantage of the situation Edelgard created in the first place to make the meaningful changes happen. Basically, Edelgard wins even if she loses. Why was she wrong?
Multiple playthroughs on hard, then multiple playthroughs on maddening once it released. Just completed another non NG+ BL maddening run a few days ago actually, think I'm done with the game for now.
war bad
also working with slithers
There literally are no other good SRPGs besides like Growlanser. It's a boring fucking genre
The church causes less harm than the lack of it.
Everyone was planning on putting in their changes once they graduated the academy and properly filled their positions.
Most of the changes after the war would likely have happened anyway around 30-50 years down the line.
The problem is Edelgard is dying of Crest aids and doesn't have that long, she is also the only leader who knows of TWSITD and doesn't trust anyone to go through with any changes after she's gone and has to assume slitherers will halt societal change too.
Of course, all would be solved if Edelgard just talked to people and revealed the true enemy, allowing an allied force large enough to overcome the mole people, but she effectively can't trust anyone and is too obsessed with getting rid of Rhea - even though she would arguable be her best ally against TWSITD.
Fire Emblem would be amazing if they kept improving every aspect of the game instead of taking a step forward in some and two steps back in others. The wasted potential every game is frustrating.
ported 3ds assets
>Why is this considered to be the best Fire Emblem game in years if some people hate almost every aspect of the gameplay
poor little storyfags got offended by Fates' story and writing, ignoring the gameplay, so now whatever 3H has looks like the gold standard. Fire Emblem has never had good stories, and acting like an expert in politics just to win arguments in favor or against of shit characters like Edelgard is retarded.
Edelgard doesn't have the crest aids problem that Lysithia has.
Lysithia was an experiment while Edelgard was perfected.
recommendation for good SRPGs pls?
I'm playing through ogre battle, the original sakura wars, der langrisser, and Final Fantasy Tactics, and so far they're all good games but I enjoy Fire Emblem a bit more
This is the truth right here.
Three Houses story only seems good compared to the living abortion that was Fates.
Edelgard life was also cutshort, and pretty sure Edelgard herself tells you that.
I'll cut her life even shorter with my blade.
Awakening was also garbage that started the trend of piss easy gameplay with waifu focus

Best lord
Best house
Best route
Not sure why Zig Forums has to pretend to hate the game now. Probably in my top three FE games, specifically AM. CF would be up there too but the lesser chapters is pretty annoying. Would have been nice to actually fight TWSINTD and not just end on the battle with Rhea.
I keep meaning to try and play this game on my hacked Switch but every time I boot it the fucking art style kills me.
It's not even about the graphics, I loved Valentia style despite being a 3DS game due to the art style being well done, I can still play Path of Radiance because it still looks good.
But this one, it looks like the most generic anime out there it's unreal, and FE has always been generic anime city. Doesn't help characters are so wooden at the beginning and the fucking school stuff is so boring.
Claude wanted to bring change, but he wanted to get his position as leader of the alliance before putting his plans in practice.
But you you could argue that that edelgard did ended up helping because with Rhea gone he was able to put Byleth in control of Fodlan while he went back to his country and assume the throne there.
>Side with Edelgard against the church
>Join her in her assault on the Alliance
>Crush them and move on to the kingdom
>Slay all your former students
>Kill the immaculate one stood next to her
>She looks to you for the future, hoping you'll stand by her forever
>Look her in the eyes and tell her you're marrying Petra
It amuses me endlessly to think of Edelgard sat there fuming during your wedding pretending to be happy for you
The only one I think would be worse would be marrying Hubert so she doesn't have anyone to marry
This desu
The gameplay in the 2 routes of Fates isn't even great.
Seriously? When I think ported 3DS assets I think Pokemon Sword and Shield. From my layman's perspective, this just looks like an ugly Switch game.
Sorry, didn't mean to quote you
It is an ugly switch game, that user is retarded unless he thinks 3H is a retooled game from unreleased assets or something.
It's the best because you can basically do whatever the fuck you want, characters and world had actual depth and the rest was pretty much adequate outside of the visuals and performance that came straight from a musou and the monastery parts overstay their welcome.
There's a couple a things to trim down and improve, but it's a good direction for the series.
