Fire Emblem Three Houses

Hello I want to talk about 3 Houses with normal Ganker residents and not fanboys on /vg/

I spent ~90 hours for Edelgard, Rhea and Claude routes, while I watched Dimitri route and all support events on youtube since I got burnt out already. I’ve only finished Awakening so I don’t know much about FE, but I remember that the combat was too barebone and lacked cool features that other SRPGs have (ex. All attacks are single target, ~2 ranges). Also, garbage sprites. 3H is way more fun with more variety of attacks. Also, improved graphic, QoL and other cool features like Shield and Gambit.

Maps are straightforward and easy, even on Hard. It got not-so-easy near the end though but that’s probably because I already got tired of putting effort into strenghtening my party through optional battles and monastery stuff. I heard that Maddening is actually Maddening with stats bloat, endless reinforcement, nerfed EXP etc. Doesn’t sound fun, so I skipped it. There should’ve been something in-between Hard and Maddening tbh.

And then Monastery stuff, the best and worst aspect of the game. I love talking to everyone every month for new lines. I’m surprised they actually voiced literally everything, and there are tons of them. But this gameplay loop of fishing-gardening-eating-tournament-choir is such a chore. Surely most people got tired of it by the end of Part 1. I sure did and in Part 2 of every route, I just spammed Seminars to progress ASAP.

I got memed into minmaxing my prof level ASAP in my 1st run. It’s all fricking pointless. By the time my prof level was high, I already got too burnt out of Monastery to even spend one activity point I was grinding for.

    The Story

    This game put so much effort into characterization through minor conversations. They gave me TONS of information about each character’s personality, struggles, past, family, hometown, and especially relationship with other characters. It’s amazing. Unfortunately, all that is only a thing in Part 1. When the actual war happens, all those build up and complex matrix of relationship and politics stuff... they all got thrown away in favor of terribly written warfare, featuring the worst comically evil villain troupe in the history of gaming.

    War happened but it didn’t feel like war at all. It’s like nothing happened except when we were involved. Everything was so stupid I don’t know how to explain it. Everyone outside selected class acted OOC, especially Black Eagle. Why the frick would any student side with Edelgard when she’s obviously allied with such comically evil league of villains? Remember that Edelgard and her goons tried to massacre everyone multiple times in Part 1.

    I’m struggling to describe what was wrong with the story in War arc, since everything just seemed wrong. All 4 routes were moronic. If I have to describe it, the story had great build up to THE THING, but THE THING itself was terribly executed with no payoff.

      Crimson Flower was the most rushed and laziest route out of 4. A pack of clueless teenagers beating up church straight because someone told them church is le bad. Nothing more, nothing less. We just Rushed B them and THE END, oh and the darkness cult are all dead offscreen in the epilogue!

      Silver Snow is the one that makes most sense because of course everyone in Black Eagle would oppose Edelgard. This is like that shonen anime cliche where MC and his friends try to get back that one traitorous friend. Also iirc, unlike in Verdant Wind, this is the only route where no student from other classes died a moronic meaningless death. Except Edelgard and Hubert.

      Verdant Wind is just copy pasted Silver Snow except Seteth is not Claude and we massacred literally everyone not Golden Eagle. It just feels wrong, narrative-wise. Everyone was on good terms and now they’re killing each other because the writer wanted us to believe that everyone would simply trust their delusional class rep and follow them to death lmao. Also, the last sob scene with Edelgard felt out of place since we barely interacted with her in this route. Still, I think this is the most enjoyable route since there were minor additions related to Claude and Alliance here and there.

      Azure Moon, similar to Verdant Wind where we killed literally everyone except in the most psychotic and edgy way with our trusted leader PUNISHED Dimitri... and then right after that, we got happy go lucky moment with Claude like nothing ever happened lmao. The story felt too Dimitri personal and branched out from the main plot. They didn’t even touch the darkness cult here.

      Anyway, they’re all moronic.

        How the story and narration could’ve been...

        Edelgard’s motivation to eliminate the ~~*world order*~~ is nice, but it doesn’t align with her backstory at all. So the BADDIES tortured and exerimented on her because the BADDIES wanted Crest... that’s why Edelgard hates Church because Church governs over Crests and so she decided to side with the BADDIES... wtf is this mental gymnastic? This is like If you were robbed by a robber who wanted your money, and you ended up hating capitalism instead you know, the robber.

        Edelgard kept spouting church is le bad, and Rhea probably did some shady shit, but the problem is they never showed us the bad shit the church did. No one in universe should be able to relate to Edelgard’s view. Every single bad stuff that happened in the game was done by Agarthan, the comically evil cult of darkness, not the church.

        The easy fix is to simply remove the Agarthan from the game. Seriously, they’re so LE EVIL I can’t take them seriously. Make the church the actual evil ~~*shadow government*~~ that’s trying to create total world order and revive Sothis by doing shady shit. Make some group of people from the Empire (Edelgard’s henchmen) the initial villain who oppose the Church and try to expose their shady shit. Make only 1 coherent route and not 4 messy low-effort shit. They could’ve easily incorporated 3 classes into 1 route.

          >during field trips, Edelgard keeps giving hints and leading us to something that’d show the suffering of WE THE PEOPLE because of Crest inequality and reveal Church’s shady shit little by little
          >we the player and our students eventually learn that Church is evil, Edelgard reveals herself, declares war and we side with her

          >we battle Claude and manage to convince him that church must be gone. This fits Claude’s character too since he’s sceptic of the Seiros teaching and wants to open Fodlan’s border. It makes more sense for Claude to side with Edelgard
          >we solve misunderstanding with Dimitri and explain that Edelgard dindu nuffin, it’s all church’s fault that the Duscar tragedy happened

            Speaking of Agarthan, the worldbuilding of this game doesn’t make any sense when you put them into the equation.
            They were VERY technologically advanced with Gantz armors, robots, voice changes, machines, MOTHERFRICKING ORBITAL NUKES and cyber city. Fodlan actually was at a point where those inventions were possible, which means, the world outside Fodlan should’ve been super advanced too, then? Since if Fodlan were so advanced, their influence should’ve reached the rest of the world as well.
            Fodlan should’ve been the only ooga booga primitive civilization in the current setting while the rest of the world are super advanvced since Fodlan was the only one that got Turn-A Gundam style “reset” by Sothis.

            Unless:
            1. Sothis genocided the entire world (unlikely since they explicitly said Fodlan)
            2. every single civilization of the world got genocided by their own respective goddess (very unlikely)
            3. Agarthan was the only super advanced civ in the past because they were the only ones that were blessed by Sothis while at the same time they never interacted with any region outside Fodlan, super closed border policy (very unlikely)
            4. The name "Fodlan" used to refer to the entire world, not exclusive to the continent Fodlan in the current setting, which makes 1 possible
            5. There were no civilization outside Fodlan until Fodlan got destroyed

            Explain this plot hole.
            The worldbuilding is moronic because it wants to set up world politics outside Fodlan, yet every piece of history requires Fodlan to be the only place in the world for everything to make sense, just like Zemuria in Trails.

              And that’s it.

              It’s a fun game overall, just with moronic narrative execution post-timeskip that I can tolerate since my focus was on the characters and their support convos, which were amazing. The only real annoyance was the repetitive monastery loop.

              For a game with multiple routes, this game is too long and NG+ doesn’t have much to offer gameplay-wise since you can already recruit characters you like in your 1st playthrough anyway, it’s easy to get burnout. Triangle Strategy is far better in this aspect... well, Triangle Strategy is simply a better game overall. Go play that.

              Now, should I play 3 Copes? I really dislike Musou games. Braindead hack and slash. Is the story better at least?

              I tried looking for other FE games to play, but I just can’t stand ugly sprites. The only games that caught my interest were Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn. Are those actually good and easy to emulate?

              What do you think of FE:3H?

                Not really, they give even less reason for why you should hate the Church. But it's got some good character moments, and a bunch of characters that were mentioned only in Three Houses (Hilda's brother, several people's fathers etc) get more prominent roles and actual appearances.

                But why? The Church is fine as it is. It's probably the most stable and admirable entity in Fodlan, even in spite of its issues and dissident factions.
                If anything it's kind of interesting how the dragons are the source of crests, as a result of having been exploited by humans. Yet the biggest crest hater in Fodlan isn't actually Edelgard, but Rhea, the biggest humanitarian in Fodlan who has done immense good for humanity and the poor in particular.
                It's interesting how in spite of all that humanity has put them through, Rhea, Seteth, and Flayn all still love humans.

                Rather than actually making the Church evil, they should have just made Edelgard's hypocrisy less schizophrenic.
                Have her own up to her ideals of aggressively imperialistic conquest, that are in the end, largely irrelevant and unrelated to crests or anything of the sort no matter what she may claim motivates her.
                And acknowledging that Edelgard isn't actually equipped to create a society free of crests, even without the Church, since the Church isn't actually to blame for the role crests plays in their society, might have been worthwhile too.

                They try to make Edelgard sympathetic but they should have just had her veil slowly come off throughout the game and have her stand as an unrelenting villain by the end of the game. In all routes. Crimson Flower included.
                Where all the nice sentiments and flowery words ultimately end up meaning little to nothing in the end in face of Edelgard's true core ambitions that still place the rest of Fodlan at odds with her regardless of anything else.

                Anon, you do realize that that support was more for Byleth and not for Edelgard right? The support was to raise Byleth's trust in her so that they could give her the benefit of doubt when she attacked in the holy tomb. The game's main theme song is even about it.

                >nothing to do with byleth and everything to do with the fact that he doesn't go through the murderhobo phase
                Actually that does have to do with Byleth as that was an issue that was brought up before his murderhobo phase. Byleth ends up pushing him to think about his own desires. That is what allows him to come out of his murder hobo phase. In fact in the Femleth's tower event he even says that he doesn't have a future to give anyone, it's the same attitude that you get from Hopes.

                No that was for Byleth it's why you don't have the option to protect her. Also I ignored the bit about Rhea because Edelgard at no point in time ever sits down Rhea and just talks to her. Even in Hopes she just uses a Rhea.

                Not quite, even without the murderhobo phase no one in his circle is willing to tell him he is allowed to live for himself, Dedue only asks if he can and Dimitri won't believe it because everyone around him was affected by the tragedy in some way and needs him to be king.
                When Rodrigue tells him to live for himself before dying he still doubts it because he saw it as Rodrigue sacrificing himself for Dimitri, not because he wanted to.
                Byleth is an outside voice with no connection to the kingdom or him outside of being his friend/professor which is why it finally gets through to him.

              >3. Agarthan was the only super advanced civ in the past because they were the only ones that were blessed by Sothis while at the same time they never interacted with any region outside Fodlan, super closed border policy (very unlikely)
              Isn't this the canon reason? Their super closed border policy remains in fact to the current day, having only been opened up a tiny bit by the empire fricking about the surrounding regions. I think it was implied that the border policy was even more strict in the past.

              But you also need to recognize that the Agarthans also very obviously view themselves as superior to anyone and anything else. They would have never shared any of their technology with the outside world willingly. They nuked them instead.
              And even if some golem or some other artifact had found its way outside of Fodlan. There is no saying they would have had the means to reverse engineer the technology without Sothis's help.

                They did though. Kind of literally. But from home. And using nukes. Then got fricked by Sothis before they had a chance to leave Fodlan.

            Also definitely give Three Hopes a shot. Plotwise, it's an alternate story that asks "what if Byleth didn't become professor at Garreg Mach" and it's a snowballing effect of how events play out differently. And it does bring in more things that were hinted at in Houses and in outside interviews with devs.
            The monastery stuff is reworked into the camp facilities system which is much snappier and there's no extra useless fluff. Facilities are upgradeable, which helps increase the Camp Level (Professor Level in old game).
            Lines of dialog in these camps aren't voiced, so it's faster to get through everyone's dialog. And there's fast travel to units too if you need to go to one, instead of only being specific areas.
            If you've ever thought "I wonder what Houses gameplay would be like if it wasn't turn-based", this musou scratches the itch for me. There's the demo available and Chapter 4 shows the core gameplay progression.
            And it's really cool to see how they "reorganized" certain aspects of Houses to this one, like classes and character abilities.

          >Make the church the actual evil ~~*shadow government*~~ that’s trying to create total world order and revive Sothis by doing shady shit.
          But why? The Church is fine as it is. It's probably the most stable and admirable entity in Fodlan, even in spite of its issues and dissident factions.
          If anything it's kind of interesting how the dragons are the source of crests, as a result of having been exploited by humans. Yet the biggest crest hater in Fodlan isn't actually Edelgard, but Rhea, the biggest humanitarian in Fodlan who has done immense good for humanity and the poor in particular.
          It's interesting how in spite of all that humanity has put them through, Rhea, Seteth, and Flayn all still love humans.

          Rather than actually making the Church evil, they should have just made Edelgard's hypocrisy less schizophrenic.
          Have her own up to her ideals of aggressively imperialistic conquest, that are in the end, largely irrelevant and unrelated to crests or anything of the sort no matter what she may claim motivates her.
          And acknowledging that Edelgard isn't actually equipped to create a society free of crests, even without the Church, since the Church isn't actually to blame for the role crests plays in their society, might have been worthwhile too.

          They try to make Edelgard sympathetic but they should have just had her veil slowly come off throughout the game and have her stand as an unrelenting villain by the end of the game. In all routes. Crimson Flower included.
          Where all the nice sentiments and flowery words ultimately end up meaning little to nothing in the end in face of Edelgard's true core ambitions that still place the rest of Fodlan at odds with her regardless of anything else.

            Yes. Church is actually good (or not really since Rhea admitted she did some many questionable things to try to revive Sothis) that's why the story doesn't make any sense. The very premise of the main plot (Edelgard's war) was based on how Edelgard hated the Church for... being the reason Crest-based society is a thing? When literally, LITERALLY ALL her problems were directly caused by Slithers, the shady group of people that she was working with.

              being the delusional conspiritard that she is, making her blame the Church for all her problems.
              And I really don't think the game would have been true if it had just leaned into her conspiracies harder, making them true or otherwise legitimate, as opposed to just being more honest about Edelgard being an extremely morally questionable conspiritard.

              Besides from the games various routes, and the DLC especially, the "questionable things" Rhea has done in the past are extremely unlikely to have ever been anything malicious.
              It's strongly suggested to just be things like morality behind creating the several homunculi (that she still cared for as if they were family) like Byleth's mother. Her greatest sin is that it's suggested that the chalice blunder from the DLC is similar to something that likely may have happened in the past. But it was very obvious from the DLC story that the whole chalice drama was developed with the best intentions in mind, and not just for Sothis/Rhea, but people at large.
              And even with all of that. With the subsequent failures she grew even more reserved and considerate. Which is why she has no longer has any such dangerous ploys in motion during the actual game. But everything suggests she was already rather considerate even before.

              Nothing suggests that Rhea's crimes are anywhere even close to as bad as any actually bad faith actor in the game. It's just that she feels several times more guilty about it than the other characters.

              Which makes Edelgard the unreasonable one. And since she is the unreasonable one I don't really see the point in rewriting all of the church to fit her Edelgard's delusions just to make her come across as more reasonable.

            This. The actual solution would be to remove the Agarthians as anon said, and just let the setting play out largely the same. The characters' motivations and misgivings against the Church are already fair and nuanced, there doesn't need to be an evil cabal of molepeople running around as well to generate conflict.

              They aren't, in fact Houses Claude actually disagrees with his 3 Hopes counterpart, and Edelgard in reality is just using the church as a pretense to justify her conquest.

              What misgivings? Edelgard is just straight up bullshitting everyone, herself included. Claude was sceptical about the Church, mostly because he thought they were the slithers. But he chose to investigate further and learn more before taking action, learned that he was wrong, and did a 180 on the Church. And Dimitri didn't have any misgivings against the Church.

              Kind of ridiculous that some people want the Church to be the bad guys so bad when it's the Empire that are the antagonists, backed by the slithers. But with or without the slithers the Empire remains the antagonists. With Edelgard at the helm, like her red predecessors of prior games.

    Whoops they only have 1-3 uses per map, can’t double, and in 95% of situations you’ll find that it’s better to just waste them on monsters to break barriers.
    >3H had good graphics, better than garbage sprites
    HAHAHA the only thing that makes watching combat satisfying is the critical hits, and the only strength modern fire emblem has is giving characters critical hit quotes to signify that the next hit will hurt. The animations themselves are lackluster.
    >maddening is too much
    It’s actually the only way to make 3H have a challenge. Hard mode doesn’t make enemies threatening enough ever so you never have to sit down and actually think about what you’re doing. On maddening at least you have to plan ahead in the beginning because you’re limited in resources and every enemy can easily one round you. The extra skills enemies get is a small push in the right direction, but they could have done much more to make the game difficult aside from stat bloat.
    >but how could they have made the game more difficult without stat bloat
    Utilize the strengths of the customization units can have. Give enemies more accessories, give some units a weapon that’s not for the class they use with enough proficiency to use it (swordmaster that pulls out gauntlets to quad you), give them combat arts, stuff like that.

        Turtling in 3 houses maddening is a TERRIBLE idea due to how broken enemy falcon knights are. You either take the initiative or you're getting your ass whopped
        Chapter 14 (the one with Randolph as the boss) is a prime example of this since you're constantly dealing with falcon knight reinforcements but you still have to move forward and clear the ballistas and cavaliers. You can't even solo the left side with your strongest unit because your strongest unit needs to steamroll the right side because the green unit is weak as frick
