    Battles are fun but have been better everything is slightly more complex than before for some reason. I don't like the exploring part or really anything at the school that's not why I play this game I play for the battles. The ds games were far better.

    So i loved this game at first, easily put my first 20 hours in. Then i hit a wall and was overwhelmed by the monotonous feel of the monastery/relationship building, and fetch quests.

    The battles are fun but feel like they don't happen often enough between story telling and free time.

    Super slog feel, but if you like visual novels this game is amazing.

    5. Most characters are decently written adding to the impact of your choices
    6. Interesting class designs although progression needs work
    7. Music was pretty good

    Aaand now the bad

    1. Tedious and boring busy work at the academy that feels shoved in and unnecessary. If you are a completionist this will be a problem as I had to fight myself to keep going (simplistic fishing, scavenging and fetch quests ugh...)
    2. The relationship mechanic feels half baked and unfulfilling given how much focus is placed on this (end game character synopsis is satisfying however)
    3.The worst offense in my opinion is that the game is far too EASY even on the hardest settings. I coasted during battles which is never a good thing. Only one maybe two maps gave me pause which is unforgivable in a strategy game that's famous for difficulty
    4. The tactical maps are overall boring, uninspired and recycled a bit too much. I feel this was the biggest missed opportunity in the game.
    5.Graphics are far too ugly with a lot of delayed pop ins etc for a top tier game such as this. I normally am forgiving but this pushed it.

    That's it. Its an ok experience and introduction into the strategy genre but for more experienced fans it leaves you wanting more. Try harder next time Nintendo.

    Buy it on sale or get XCOM 2 and a dating sim on the side. You'll have more fun.    … Expand

I believe one of the main failures of it is that the characters are very unidimensional, with poorly constructed personalities which I found hard to relate. They do not shine as in previous games. Not to mention how the game seems to take a step backwards as it limits several relationships, not including LGBT options in a proper way. Another negative point is that the master classes are a bit conflicting, favouring some weapons much more than others and commonly adding a horse or dragon to more or about 70% of them. The "school" exploration is a bless and a curse, fun in the beginning until it becomes so overly grindy and tedious. You can skip it, but when you skip one of the game's main attraction, there's certainly something wrong with it.

    Fire Emblem can be and deserves to be much better than this. With more personality, good interactions and a little more attention to the evolution of classes, this game could have been nearly perfect. Unfortunately it is not there yet.    … Expand

They tried to up the graphics, but they failed miserably, the open world aspect of the school and army fighting alongside the characters was a nice use of more powerful hardware. I chose Black Eagles, and up till a very specific point in the play through was splendid, however, unbeknownst to me, there was a very specific thing you had to do to get the Crimson Flower path, if you didn't know on your first play through like me, you were stuck with Silver Snow. While Silver Snow was fun, the final boss was absolute freaking horse **** Holy **** was that final boss was bad, they throw you against multiple different White Beasts which you have to beat to get to Rhea. This as a miserable, monotonous time and was a constant fight to keep playing, I got my ass handed to me on a silver platter the first time I fought them. I had to spend a couple hours grinding up with battles and building my team up to the task, this meanwhile I had no issues with previous missions. This was the most pathetic piss poor design of a final battle, having the final boss be leagues harder than previous missions, forcing you to grind up. After beating the final boss, the whole vibe was ruined for me, what felt like a strong, fun game became a chore to play because of this pathetic finale. Sleazy game design that forces you know what to do to get specific pathways are an abhorrent mess and should be abolished. Intelligent Systems, you failed to deliver, go back to the 3DS.… Expand

    The exploration phases in the Monastery are pretty weird and grindy. The fights are generally not really difficult or interesting (bar some of the side chapters involving two characters).
    The recruitement is boring at best (just give flowers to the person you are willing to recruit. Give them more flowers. Some fish maybe. And you're done).
    Improving your allies' weapon rank is also boring (although the class mechanics seemed fun at first, it doesn't really do well in the long run). Also I must say that I'm a bit frustrated at the fact that "anyone could be anything".

    Although I appreciate the fact that Intelligent Systems has created several routes for the games, most ofthe content is actually very similar, on the same maps with very little twists.
    The combat mechanics seem rusty and less polished than they were on the former docked console games (Radiant Dawn / Path of Radiance). I mean, did anybody really give a fudge about the soldiers accompanying the heroes ?

    It is a tactics RPG in the long lived Fire Emblem IP. As such, it's good enough. It just doesn't fly as high as others to me.    … Expand

I have been very disappointed with almost all fire emblems since radiant dawn on the wii. Fire emblem path of radiance is the pinnacle of this series as well as fire emblem 4 geneology of the holy war but now since the success of awakening on 3ds the focus of the fire emblem games has shifted in a direction I could not care less about. I see fire emblem as strategy games with unit customisation and military style stories with perhaps some magic and fantasy mixed in. However as years have gone by they are turning them into silly dating/life sim/ strategy games. I like the strategy but none of the rest. The game constantly buries you in mind numbingly boring busy work that you need to click through to get to the meat of the game which is the battles and main story segments. As each new fire emblem title comes out there seems to be more and more fat added on and less and less meat. This is the current state of fire emblem 3 houses, half a strategy game with interesting story (it actually is a cool story ) and half boring meaningless chit chat, teaching, fishing, gardening, singing and ...jesus......what were they thinking! so 5/10 seems fair to me, half the game is good, half is bad. Oh and dont get me started on adding in a rewind mechanic if you make a mistake. No more careful pondering over your decisions, just try whatever you like, its fine, if you die you can rewind. can turn permadeath off too, just as that was introduced in the 3ds titles, another unwelcome edition,… Expand

It makes very little sense and just feels half baked. The characters themselves are mostly likeable but it all just feels very...dull. The timeskip halfway through completely put me off the game; with it feeling like the whole first half of the game was simply a waste of time. There are some highlights in the game and for those who have never played Fire Emblem before, you will probably like this game. But, it just doesn't work for me. Awakening is my favourite of all time and Fates was very good (despite the multiple stories). Three Houses tries to incorporate 4 separate routes but none of them feel right. It leads to a lot of replayability but if you don't want to play them to start with; they have failed. The main character is a lifeless shell and the story becomes so convoluted and just downright daft that I have had to stop my playthrough. I have played 38 hours of Fire Emblem Three Houses, waiting for that moment where the game clicks. It has not clicked, this game is not for me and not for fans of the older games (GBA era and before). If your new to the series, buy this game. If you're not, go in with lower expectations than I did. Then you won't end up quite as annoyed as I.… Expand

    This is a mediocre Fire Emblem title at best, is it enjoyable yes, but it could have been FAR better.

    Anyone who has ever played a classic Fire Emblem game knows this title does not hold up to it's name. I have played all 3 routes with decent enjoyment. but the flaws of 3 houses become more visible with each play through. I actively get less enjoyment the more I play it. due to the ungodly amount of "filler" between each Chapter.

    At it's core a Fire Emblem game consists of 3 main aspects:
    Strategy
    Fast and Eyecandy Combat visuals
    Engaging Characters

    These criteria are all met. but due to a lot of dragged out "filler" material it takes ages to get to those parts. Yes I am indeed calling the Hubworld "Filler". The month of prep-time between each mission is gruelingly long and it only gets longer with each play through. I am wasting time, tending to my garden, feeding my soldiers (which you can only do 2 at a time!), doing faculty training and fishing!

    I did not pick up a STRATEGY game to play a fishing simulator!

    Even the Auxiliary Battle's are basicly just level grinders to stretch out the game.
    Paralogues are the only parts that get a pass because they are basically bonus chapters for the story of the game. a story that I can only play once every ingame month.

    The other aspect of this game that has not been thought through is it's class system.
    I am quite positive about the idea of being able to train your soldiers in any way you see fit.
    despite a characters Pro's or Con's. but Half of the class's do not have a natural progression into their next stage. "Hero", "Assassin" and "Pegasus Knight" are a few notable examples. these classes have NO follow-up in their respective tree which is just a kick in your face to discover halfway. because now you have to abandon all your hard work and retrain their neglected aspects to make them useful again.

    This game also Bombards you with Characters, Classes and Dialogue;
    It is a fun gimmick to give your main character a class to run and have them be your students.
    but to instantly get bombarded with an entire school of characters just ruins the experience of really getting to know your team. the appeal of building up a team, and getting to know the characters and their class is completely lost and dis-attache's you from them. instead it's boom ! Pick a class of 10 random characters you know nothing about with a 10 mile text-crawls to learn the details of how to play the game. If you're a first time player of Fire Emblem I find this a highly un-appealing way to learn the game.

    Which also ties in to the overload of support conversations
    I get that every character needs to have support convo's with every character.
    with there are simply to many!, I don't mind listening to 1 or 2 convo's between chapters to hear what my team is doing. but when I finish a mission and I have to go through over 10 conversations every single time it just sucks the motivation out of you, with a lot of them treading the same ground it just becomes more "Filler" I don't want to feel like skipping the support conversations. but when you reach your third play through all you wanna do is get it over with so you can get to your mission!. to the actual story and gameplay!

    Cut out the Hubworld!
    Cut out the Auxiliary Battles!
    Cut out the Seminars!
    Give every character a maximum of 10 possible support convo's per playthrough!

    And you'd have a Really Decent Fire Emblem Game. worth at least a 7.5

    I also have an issue with the main character Byleth. Being that the character is mute during story scenes, but has a voice actor. Added to that every other character calls him/her 'professor' instead of using his/her name. With that in mind, why could we not name the character ourselves? It suggests that the developers were going to include character creation into the game (similar to FE: Awakening), but gave up on the idea.

    Sin lugar a dudas uno de los mejores juegos tácticos de Nintendo. Personajes, Game play y una historia cautivadora. Un imperdible si te gustan este tipo de juegos.

    There may be too much content here for busy adults to tackle! I don't know when I'm going to find the time to do full playthroughs of the other two Houses that I didn't choose to begin with! [Issue #41 – September 2019, p. 74]

    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.

    Large selection of classes, good AI and wide variety of missions make Fire Emblem: Three Houses one of the best turn-based tactics. [Issue#240, p.50]
