The game was released worldwide on July 26, 2019. It is the 16th game in the Fire Emblem series.

Fire Emblem: Three Houses is set on the continent of Fódlan, which consists of three nations. The protagonist Byleth is made a master's degree at the Garreg Mach Monastery and Military Academy and teaches one of the three houses that live at the academy, each made up of students from one nation. In the second half of the game, war breaks out in Fódlan and Byleth now leads his former class and their nation through the war as a strategist.

The game has received critical acclaim. It got a rating of 89% on Metacritic . The game was also recognized as the best strategy game of 2019 at The Game Awards and the DICE Awards ; Fire Emblem: Three Houses was voted Best Game of the Year by the audience at The Game Awards .

Gameplay

Fire Emblem: Three Houses is a strategy role-playing game from the Fire Emblem series and thus has many elements of the gameplay of this series . The player controls the protagonist, whose gender and name he can choose himself at the beginning. At the beginning of the game, the player becomes a master at the Garreg Mach Monastery Military Academy, which serves as a center for fighting and other player activities. In addition, the player has to choose exactly one house at which he will teach. The choice of the house influences the further action of the game. The gameplay is divided into fights, which continue the plot, and school hours, in which the player can interact with the students. While the first half of the game is still based on this school system, the second half, which takes place after a time jump of five years, is more combat-based. The player is determined to choose the house from the beginning of the game.

During the school hours between battles, the player has a limited number of school days to use for activities such as teaching. Each day the player has a limited number of actions that he can take. In addition, the player can interact and build relationships with his students in their free time. Support actions and dialogues can change the support level. If the rank is high enough, the player can marry the respective person after the time jump.

action

Fire Emblem: Three Houses is set on a continent called Fódlan. A thousand years before the start of the plot, there was a protracted war in which Nemesis fought the Saint Seiros. Seiros is said to have been blessed by the goddess and to have received support from the ten elite warriors and thus killed Nemesis. The descendants of the ten elite warriors form the nobility of Fódlan and have inherited the blessings of the ten elites in so-called coats of arms. With the help of a coat of arms it is possible to control sacred weapons, the hero relics.

Fódlan consists of three rival nations that are at peace with one another at the beginning of the plot: the Adrestian Empire in the south and west, the Holy Kingdom of Faerghus in the north and the Alliance of Leicester in the east of the continent. In the middle of the continent is the Garreg Mach Monastery, which is the seat of the Church of Seiros, the largest religion in Fódlan, and the location of its military academy. The military academy has three houses that house students from the three nations: the Black Eagles from Adrestia, the Blue Lions from Faerghus and the Golden Deers from Leicester.

The plot consists of two parts. In the first part, “White Clouds”, the protagonist Byleth chooses one of these houses. Depending on which house he chooses, the plot splits into four different routes. "Pale Shadows" is DLC content, the action of which takes place during the first part.

White clouds

The protagonist Byleth is a mercenary in his father Jeralt's mercenary squad. In his dreams the girl Sothis appears to Byleth. After rescuing Edelgard, Dimitri and Claude, the heir to the throne of Adrestia, Faerghus and Leicester, from bandits, the three invite Byleth and Jeralt to visit Garreg Mach. Jeralt, who was formerly in command of the Knights of Seiros, the military of the Church of Seiros, reluctantly accepts the offer. In Garreg Mach, Byleth meets Rhea, the Archbishop of the Church of Seiros. Rhea offers Byleth a master's degree in one of the three houses in Garreg Mach. In the following months, Byleth trains his house in practice fights or battles against bandits. Meanwhile, characters like the Flame Emperor, the Death Knight and a group called Shadow Lurkers are plotting a conspiracy against the Church of Seiros.

After an attack on the Holy Crypt, in which Seiros is said to be buried, it turns out that Seiros 'corpse has disappeared and instead the sword of the Creator, Nemesis' sword, lies in the coffin. Since Byleth can control the Creator's sword, Rhea allows Byleth to wield the sword. She tells that Sothis is the goddess Fódlans who supported Seiros in war. Jeralt is killed in a Shadow Lurker plot. Byleth discovers that Rhea planted Sothis' heart in him shortly after he was born and that Jeralt and Byleth fled because of it. Another attack by the Shadow Lurkers forces Sothis to surrender all of her powers to Byleth, causing her to disappear. After this attack, Rhea wants to cause Sothis to rise again in Byleth's body through a ceremony in the Holy Crypt. However, this fails and instead the Flame Emperor attacks Garreg Mach with the Adrestian army. It turns out that Edelgard is the Flame Emperor, and depending on the House's choice, Byleth Edelgard can join Garreg Mach in her siege or defend Rhea and Garreg Mach. In both cases, Edelgard, who is now Empress of Adrestia, declares war on the Church of Seiros. If Byleth Edelgard joins them, they'll attack Garreg Mach. Rhea turns into a dragon and attacks Byleth. If Byleth Garreg defends Mach, Rhea hands over archbishop responsibility to Byleth and attacks the Adrestian Army as a dragon. Byleth is attacked by the shadow sneakers and falls into a ravine.

Silver snow

Byleth had taken over the house of the Black Eagles and stood against Edelgard. Five years after falling into the ravine, Byleth wakes up and returns to Garreg Mach. There he meets Edelgard, who fights against him and then withdraws. Byleth teams up with his former students and the Church of Seiros to stop Edelgard and find Rhea, missing since the Battle of Garreg Mach. After finding out that Rhea is a prisoner of the Empire, they march to Enbarr, the capital of Adrestia. There Byleth kills Edelgard and saves Rhea. They learn that the Shadow Lurkers want to continue the war and take Shambhala, the base of the Shadow Lurkers. Rhea protects Byleth in her dragon form from missiles and they kill the leader of the Shadow Lurkers. After the war, Rhea reveals that Byleth was stillborn and his mother died in childbirth. At the mother's request, Rhea Byleth planted Sothis' heart in the hope that this could revive Sothis. Through the wounds of war, Rhea loses control and turns into a dragon. Byleth can stop Rhea. Fódlan is united with Byleth as archbishop under the rule of the Church of Seiros.

Red flower

Byleth had taken over the Black Eagles house and joined Edelgard. Five years after Rhea's attack, Byleth wakes up and returns to Garreg Mach. There he meets Edelgard and his former classmates. Faerghus has joined the Church of Seiros and is protecting Rhea. Edelgard and Byleth fight Claude during an attack on Leicester. After they either kill Claude or ban him from Fódlan, they fight Dimitri and his army and kill him. Rhea therefore withdraws to Fhirdiad, the capital of Faerghus. In desperation, she sets the city on fire and transforms into a dragon to destroy the Adrestian army, Edelgard and Byleth. Edelgard and Byleth can kill Rhea. Byleth dies as a result, but Sothis' heart dissolves in Byleth's chest and Byleth's own heart starts beating, so he survives. Fódlan is united under Adrestia and Edelgard abolishes the church and the nobility.

Blue Moon

Byleth had taken over the Blue Lions house. Five years after falling into the ravine, Byleth wakes up and returns to Garreg Mach. The former classmates meet there with their master's degree. After a coup in Faerghus, supporters of the empire took over and Dimitri was cast out. This drove Dimitri, who has been hearing the voices of his slain family since then, crazy and he has vowed to kill Edelgard in order to find peace for him and his family. Byleth's class teams up with Church survivors to stop Edelgard and find Rhea, missing since the Battle of Garreg Mach. After a failed assassination attempt on Dimitri, Dimitri lets go of his feelings of revenge and takes back Faerghus. Dimitri tries to make peace with Edelgard; however, this refuses. So Dimitri marches to Enbarr, the capital of Adrestia, to confront Edelgard. After one last attempt to make peace, Dimitri kills Edelgard. Dimitri becomes ruler of Fódlan, united under Faerghus, and Byleth becomes Archbishop of the Church of Seiros after Rhea, who was imprisoned in Enbarr, resigns.

Green wind

Byleth had taken over the Golden Deer house. Five years after falling into the ravine, Byleth wakes up and returns to Garreg Mach. There he meets Claude and his ex-classmates, and they team up with church survivors to stop Edelgard and find Rhea, missing since the Battle of Garreg Mach. Claude liberates the areas besieged by Adrestia in Leicester and can thus unite the alliance. Then Claude and Byleth march to Enbarr, with support from Almyra, a nation east of Fódlan. It turns out that Claude has roots in Almyra and wants to open Fódlan's borders after centuries of isolation. In Enbarr, Byleth kills Edelgard and saves Rhea, who was trapped there. After the war is over, they confront the shadow sneakers and kill their leaders. Rhea protects Byleth in her dragon form. Rhea reveals that the Shadow Lurkers were the real catalyst for this war and the war a thousand years ago. Together with the Ten Elite Warriors, Nemesis had committed a genocide against the people of Nabatea, beings that can switch between human and dragon form. Their blood gave them power through the coats of arms and their bones and organs were forged into the hero relics. After the death of the goddess Sothis, who was a Nabatea, the Shadow Lurkers forged the Creator's sword from their bones and Sothis' daughter Rhea waged war against Nemesis under the name Seiros and killed him. However, this one has been revived by the Shadow Slinkers. Claude and Byleth can stop his army. Fódlan is united and opens its borders to Almyra and other nations.

Pale shadows

Byleth, Edelgard, Dimitri and Claude pursue an intruder and reach Abyssus, a hidden place below Garreg Mach. There they get to know the silver wolves, the secret fourth house of Garreg Mach. The Church of Seiros built an abyss to ensure the safety of those who have turned away from society. Aelfric, a cardinal of the Church of Seiros, oversees the abyss. However, bandit attacks on the Abyss are increasing. Aelfric suspects that the bandits are after the Chalice of Beginnings, a relic that has been tried in vain to revive Sothis. After Aelfric is kidnapped by bandits, Rhea gives Byleth the chalice as a ransom for Aelfric. However, Aelfric betrays the silver wolves and kidnaps them. As the descendants of those who wanted to revive Sothis with the chalice, he wants to use the blood of the silver wolves to revive Byleth's mother and Aelfric's childhood sweetheart Sitri. Byleth can break off the ritual and saves the silver wolves, but Aelfric merges with Sitri's body and dies after a fight against the silver wolves. Rhea dissolves the house of the silver wolves. They leave Garreg Mach and promise to return if Byleth needs their help.

development

Fire Emblem: Three Houses was developed by Intelligent Systems with support from Koei Tecmo. On the Intelligent Systems side, Toshiyuki Kusakihara was Director , while Genki Yokota represented the parent company Nintendo. Fire Emblem: Three Houses was originally supposed to be developed for the Nintendo 3DS . The first planning began shortly after the release of Fire Emblem Fates in June 2015. However, when Intelligent Systems decided to develop Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia as a remake of the second part of the Fire Emblem series, the project was temporarily postponed . After Nintendo presented the Nintendo Switch to the directors, it was decided to develop the game for this console instead. Yokota wanted the game to appear by the end of 2019 at the latest. However, they did not see themselves in a position to achieve the goal for an HD console like the Nintendo Switch. So they looked for support in developing the game. Since Intelligent Systems and Nintendo had a positive experience with Koei Tecmo through Fire Emblem Warriors , they decided to team up again with Koei Tecmo. Yosuke Hayashi, the producer of Fire Emblem Warriors , recommended the team led by Kou Shibusawa, who already had experience with strategy role-playing games such as Romance of the Three Kingdoms . The basic game principle and the design was decided by Intelligent Systems. This was then discussed with the developers at Koei Tecmo, who did most of the programming and the rest of the development.

Since Fire Emblem: Three Houses should be the next game in the series for stationary consoles after 12 years without offshoots on home consoles, the battle system was to be revised. For example, Intelligent Systems decided not to include the weapon triangle for which the Fire Emblem series is known. It is too unrealistic in a game about war that weapons stand in a rock-paper-scissors system. Instead, it was decided that the playable characters could individually develop their weapon skills in teaching units. They also wanted to convey to the player that a war was going on. In previous parts, only two characters fought each other. Thanks to Koei Tecmo, it was possible to represent battalions accompanying a character in a battle.

The greatest inspiration in the development of the game was the fourth game in the Fire Emblem series Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War . The idea that former school friends are fighting each other in a war and the time jump after the first half of the game came from that game. From the development studio Koei Tecmo the idea arose that the player had to choose between three rival nations. Koei Tecmo took this from her game series Romance of the Three Kingdoms and the novel The Story of the Three Kingdoms , on which her game series is based.

In Japanese, the title of the game is 風花雪月 ( Fūkasetsugetsu , literally in German: wind, flower, snow, moon). This Yojijukugo , a proverb consisting of four Kanji , was chosen to reflect the four main characters Byleth, Edelgard, Dimitri and Claude and also to represent the game's calendar system in the form of the four seasons. However, since one would not understand the saying outside of Japan, the game overseas has been named Three Houses to represent the three houses of the game and as a homage to Romance of the Three Kingdoms .

The character designer chose Chinatsu Kurahana, who had already designed the characters for the dating simulation and visual novel Uta no Prince-sama , because they were considered suitable for depicting a glamorous, noble society. She had a big influence on the look of the hairstyles. Kazuma Koda, who created concept art for the game Nier: Automata , illustrated concept art for the game.

synchronization

Cherami Leigh is the English voice of Rhea.

Fire Emblem: Three Houses was dubbed in both Japanese and English. Each sentence was set to music in both languages. According to Kusakihara, it took three months to start dubbing the Japanese version. The script was five times longer than the previous Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia .

Chris Niosi was the original English voice actor for male protagonist Byleth. However, after he was accused of emotional abuse and he admitted it, Nintendo announced after the game was released that it would replace Byleth's English voice. Another reason Nintendo cited was that Niosi broke a confidentiality agreement after Niosi announced ahead of time that it would speak to Byleth. Since an update in September 2019, Zach Aguilar is the new voice of Byleth.

The following is a selection of the voice actors for the protagonists and main characters:

Byleth (male) Yūsuke Kobayashi Zach Aguilar (since update 1.0.2)
