    Fun game, however it does get very repetitive and the combat just isn't complex or diverse enough. Higher difficulties also don't actually increase the difficulty, they just increase the time on how long it takes you to win a battle (but you still win, because the game is easy)

    First off, ignore the critic reviews. They will spin you a positive review to sell you a $60 trash can full of garbage.

    Let’s start with the content at hand. This takes FE 3 Houses and spins it into a warriors games. Warriors are great, I thoroughly enjoyed the original FE warriors on switch. The issue with the content is lack of content outside of main story. There is no replay value    First off, ignore the critic reviews. They will spin you a positive review to sell you a $60 trash can full of garbage.

    Let’s start with the content at hand. This takes FE 3 Houses and spins it into a warriors games. Warriors are great, I thoroughly enjoyed the original FE warriors on switch. The issue with the content is lack of content outside of main story. There is no replay value outside of the usual process of 1.) pick your house, 2.) Beat the game with that house, 3.) Do it all over again with a different house. In that exact order. In the original FE warriors game, you had minimal story but you given the opportunity to grind skill trees on every character to make them stronger and speed run missions. I wish that FE Hopes had skill trees on characters to make interested in wanting to play them. In my initial playthroughs, I only wanted to play the main character cause he or she is that op. The main character is that strong even if he or she is at a disadvantage in the weapon triangle.

    Did I say the game didn’t have skill trees? Oh wait it does. But it’s a shame they only exist in facilities. You have to progress the story to get the materials to upgrade facilities. Out of all the facilities, only training, tactics, and supply depot are worth even investing your time in the facility skill trees.

    So how is the leveling grind aspect you ask? Well there is none. The developers thought it would be cheeky to add in a feature at the training instructor to buy levels. Yes the whole process is do a mission, get lots of gold ( reward completion currency ) and buy all the levels you want for your houses characters. The developers must think that people don’t have the time to level up characters in order to progress a games story. In my first initial playthrough. A lot of my units were level 20+ only 3 hours into the games. That includes no extra curricular grinding or redoing missions or doin auxiliary battles. Just S rank missions and your units will be over leveled super quick.

    I won’t get into the story but it’s pretty much very similar to 3 houses up until late game. If you have played 3 houses, you will understand the whole get up. Fodlans 3 regions are up in war with each other Blah Blah Blah poo poo story.

    The game features some side content like chores etc. Frankly a lot of the side content is the same as 3 houses. The side content has no effect on overall gameplay and only exists to suit the needs of people to invested into character personalities.

    The only thing that saves the game for is the class advancement system. Characters can switch between classes freely once unlocked any time in a playthrough. If I want to go from master class to an advanced or invest into a whole separate class tree, I can. I really hope they incorporate that into future mainline FE games.    … Expand

    THE GOOD: There were lots of beautiful cutscenes and lots of fun activities to try in camp. The strategies and objectives in battle were fun, and the large battles were always so exciting with many twists and turns. The game is kind to newcomers to the Musou games. It wasn’t nearly as hard to get used to as I thought, coming from strategy games. I enjoyed the gameplay!

Every ending feels abrupt and pointless. Some characters are depicted way differently than they were in Three Houses which may be due to plot changes, but I found it so jarring and disappointing. Some of the points I liked about the characters felt removed. Maps can get confusing to navigate. Camera angles got confusing and distracting.… Expand

    UI/Fludity: 1
    Graphics: .9
    Time of Play: 1
    Customization: .8
    Emotional Impact: .3

    Total: 6.2

    Story: I only played 1 route, which was enough for me (Black Eagles). I did play a little bit of maddening mode for the Blue Lions, but I don't feel like it's worth my time. The story is a "what could happen" scenario if you played Three Houses. Nothing too great about it.

    Gameplay: It's fun for a few hours, then it becomes stale fast. There are some cool missions in the game that catch you off guard, but outside of that, this game is super repetitive. I've played Dynasty Warriors Empires 8 and spent more time on that game than this one.

    Music: The music was meh. I don't remember anything that I thought was catchy or special. The music was just there.

    Characters: There are way too many characters. I skipped many of the conversations between characters. Reason one: Too many characters that you don't give a tooth for. Two: Conversations were dull. For the characters I liked, I feel like you can't get to know them unless you have everyone talk to them, and that's not worth my time. Even then, I feel like those characters would be lacking because most of the characters could easily get kicked out of the game, and the endings wouldn't change.

    UI/Fluidity: Speedy loading time, and the UI matches the game story. Nothing much to say. This was probably the only part of the game that was amazing. The game was fluid in fights too.

    Graphics: The graphics are what you expect. Anime style that makes most characters look attractive and waifu material.

    Time of Play: I spent 40 hours playing 1 route. (On Hard Mode + Side Quests). You can easily go over 120 hours on this game because there are 3 routes. However, I still don't believe it's worth my time.

    Customization: There are a lot of ways to play this game, but let's be honest, I was only using swords and had an axe army attached to my main character. Got through the game without a sweat. You can change many things for battle or help improve your units, but what's the point if enemies aren't going to force you to change?

    Emotional Impact: This game does nothing much for me. Just a few hours of nostalgia from playing Three Houses, but that was it. I don't remember laughing, crying, etc. Instead, there were times when I felt annoyed, godly, and probably annoyed again for the fact that they took out the marriage system.

    Verdict: This game is not worth the money unless you are a "die-hard three houses fan." I liked Three Houses a lot, but this game pales compared to it. Very repetitive and lackluster. Like I said earlier, I played Dynasty Warriors Empires 8 far longer than this game, which was made for the PS4. IT WAS MADE YEARS AGO! This game was fun for a few hours, but after that, you'll never touch the game again or will power through it until you beat it like me.    … Expand

    I love this game, a spin off (and could say a alternative universe) of the Three Houses that I love so much. But have something that annoys me, and it is a mistake from the first game: the graphics.

Gives me cringe (YES, THAT WORD) the animations of cooking after know that exists animations like Monster Hunter on the same thing.

    職業豐富，技能、特技搭配非常多樣且自由

    戰場上的劇情動畫偏少，不夠熱血

    Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes stands strong as a dynamic take on the world of Three Houses however the repetitive gameplay and padded stories leave a challenge to even complete the game without using broken characters. The visuals can be very pleasing but the environments always feel the exact same. This also goes for the character interactions, which are dry as they will often repeat dialogue or say things unrelated to the story. Overall a fun interesting time is still to be had but only in short bursts. Fans of Three Houses will love this game but others will be left confused and bored.

    There’s no doubt that Three Hopes offers a story that stands out from its predecessor. While it doesn’t have quite the emotional impact, it still offers plenty of a wild ride of twists and turns.

    Three Houses was an excellent choice to adapt into a Musou, and for my first full experience with the genre, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Seeing my favorite characters in a new light was a treat, and I felt a tremendous sense of accomplishment at achieving the "golden" ending after a huge time investment. This is a can't-miss title for FE3H fans wanting to see more of their favorite students! [Issue #61 – September/October 2022, p. 75]
