S4E30 - Fire Emblem Three Houses Initial Impressions - “No one believes in democracy here”

In This Episode: Fire Emblem: Three Houses is a turn-based strategy RPG, but it’s also totally a game like Persona where it’s just as much about relationships on a one to one level as it is about the battles First time I’ve played FE not on a handheld system  Radiant Dawn? There hasn’t been one since the Fire Emblem on the Nintendo Wii Premise Kingdom of Fargus? Lester Alliance? Something Empire? Edelgard Dimitri Claude Three countries on this continent There’s a monastery in neutral ground in the middle of the continent that happens to be the seat of the church and also the training ground for officers from all the different countries The 3 houses in the school correspond to the 3 countries on the continent This year is special because future leaders from each country are all studying at the monastery at the same time You end up there kind of by accident but they make you a professor and you have to pick a house to instruct Houses Blue Lions - Kingdom Golden Deer - Alliance of Nobles Black Eagles - Empire No, they don’t believe in democracy here No weapon triangle (sword, lance, axe) This is probably the biggest initial change to adjust to Quality of Life improvements in battles It’s so much easier to make sure your characters don’t end up somewhere that they’ll get killed because you misjudged distance by one square on the grid It’s limited to only a few times per battle But, you can rewind time to any point in the battle <li style="font-weight:
