    I think it's completely ridiculous people are rating this game a 0 just cause they can't get passed th overhaul of the old style, as played most fire emblem games I think it's a good game for old and new fans alike

    I’m 10 hours in and this is my first fire emblem game, so I’m no expert on what I’m saying here, but:

    The gameplay feels incredible The social aspects remind me of persona, which I love

    Almost everything is fully voiced, with a great dub

    I’ve just got no negatives

    The game has an engaging story, introduces an open exploration are that's done right unlike fates, that allows for a need break and relaxation between battles and story missions.

    The game is absolutely amazing 10/10 and for all those kids ranting about how it's got bad graphics and got a bad story probably dont even have the game because this game is a masterpiece and they must have lost it in there heads.

    Characters are always engaging and most are completely surprising, Music kept battles engaging right to the very end of the game, and I can’t wait to try out the Black Eagles and golden Deer though if the game was just the Blie Lions story it would still be fantastic

    Some of these fire emblem elitist are insufferable. Just ignore them like everyone else and try the game for yourself. Im about 8 hours in and its by far my favorite fire emblem game already.

    However I believe fully this is the BEST Fire Emblem experience to date. Plenty of options that people can do or completely ignore if they prefer, for both stat leveling and learning more about your compatriots. A lore rich world centered by the main hub, spectacular characters in each and every house all hiding nuances that make me love and adore them. Not to mention that timeskip. If you have even a passing interest in Fire Emblem, strategy RPGs or just good games, you owe it to yours yourself to pick up this game. Immediately took my current game of the year spot and may even make it on to my favorite games of all time. That is why it earns a 10 from me.    … Expand

    An absolute beautiful masterpiece of a game, so much hate from the kids with no attention span. There isn't much I could say negative about this game it's perfect as a tactical rpg/ rpg! Being fully honest I may give this game a 9 due to some minor resolution/ visual and frame rate issues, but the graphics are really good, no it's not another open world game, boo hoo!

    The writing is really good , and the characters are really deep and interesting. The Gameplay is also very fun as well. This is a really good and true evolution of the series. My first fire emblem was fire emblem fates birthright. If you like that game you will definitely like this game too.

    So first of all I have to say that I really do not understand all the negative reviews. Many people say the story would be bad and there are better stories and I feel like they’ve never played a Fire Emblem Game. GBA’s has bad stories and shadow dragon also had a bad story. Personally I think Awakening’s story wasn’t that good either. I’m short I like the story as far as I have playedSo first of all I have to say that I really do not understand all the negative reviews.

Personally I think Awakening’s story wasn’t that good either. I’m short I like the story as far as I have played (about 15 hours in Chapter 8). The characters are well written and have a lot of depth. Graphics could be better but they’re totally okay. School system is a great innovation and fits perfectly to Fire Emblem. What people tend to oversee is that they’re finally changing the formula of a Fire Emblem and it works so well. We do not have the typical generic Fire Emblem, we have something new and it’s great !… Expand

    What an excelent game. Deep characters, intriguing plot, and exciting gameplay. If you are an experienced Fire Emblem player, I suggest playing on hard mode. There are almost no problems with Fire Emblem Three Houses, it is a near perfect game. Don't let the first few trolls to review the game that gave it a 0 (no game like this deserves a 0 to even a 7) deter you from trying it. FireWhat an excelent game.

I love Persona-like exploration and day to day activities (P5 on Switch PLEASE), FE3H satisfies me there. A interesting plot with deep and multidimensional characters, FE3H satsfies me there. Anime.

    Great game with engaging gameplay akin to what the series is known for, while adding new features such as the monestary that engage you just as much. You could lose hours to this game! Easily became my favorite in the series!

    Fire Emblem Three Houses is one of Switch's best games of 2019 and a breeze of fresh air to this franchise. Unfortunately, its poor animations preclude any possibility of being the game of the year.
