    Nintendolife! You actually give *evidence* to back up your points. You don’t just say, “The characters are deep and well-written”, you also provide us with a concrete example. Fewer and fewer reviewers do this, yet without any examples, how am I supposed to know what they’re on about?!
    So, thanks! 😍

    The only minor complaint I have about this game is that, on the Switch Lite at least, the text font is incredibly small. To an extent where my brother, who has rather poor eyesight, couldn't make out a lot of what was being said in text. He got most of it from voice overs, but things that were conveyed through text only were nearly unreadable for him, even with his glasses on.
    I could personally play with it and make everything out, with a little struggle, but it's definitely hard on the eyes after a few hours. Since we are both Switch Lite owners, I have no idea how that compares to the other Switch consoles and it could be a console issue and not a game issue, but still, it couldn't have been that hard to make things a little more readable, could it?
    We both still played the hell out of it and loved it, though. It just lost a little something because of that.

They started by discussing the changes to battles mechanics and showed a bunch of stats on screen which made the game look daunting. I was like, why am I not watching the Nintendo Life review? Thank you for actually making a good review.

  • @TaienQuinn
    @TaienQuinn Před 4 lety +15

    I've just finished my first playthrough... I chose to follow the Golden Deer storyline and I wasn't disappointed. The characters were really well fleshed out with solid backstories and strong motivation for the way that they are. You can recruit classmates from other houses if you put in the effort into building your character to appeal to them and invite them to tea.
    The control over how units level up and what skills they invest in was a great addition to the FE series, it allows a huge amount of customisation over your units, however I also found that the worry over whether or not you'd invested your limited time wisely each month was something I didn't enjoy. This is particularly worrying as some supports and opportunites to recruit can be missed.
    Whilst the monastary offers quite a few different activities, (more with the DLC added) I found that by the end of the game these were getting very repetitive... With me spending all my activity points on meals with students to try and raise their support levels and max their motivation. It also became a chore dashing from one side of the monastery to the other just to hear every conversation in case I missed something important. Eventually the monastary sections just became busywork, even though they are the major thing that sets this fire emblem game apart.
    I've so far loved my time with this game, the plot is engaging and the motivations for all of the characters I've recruited and used so far have really connected with me... I'm intrigued to see how the story plays from the perspective of the other houses, but don't relish the thought of all the grinding and busywork that may entail.

    Don't forget about replayability due to the NG+ system regarding "renown", where instead of keeping all gear and stats, you keep this type of currency that allows you bonuses for most things of your choice, like weapons or character buffs. Also, after beating the game, you only explored one house... so try the other two houses for different scenarios and story revelations.

  • @awesomedude5558
    @awesomedude5558 Před 4 lety +1

    I actually love the no weapon triangle thingy. Some are naturally better than other units when fighting a certain unit (magic kills armored knights insanely well, while little else damages them), but it allows for a different, more fair type of balance. There is a lower change an axe may hit certain units, but they can do insane damage. Archers can shoot far, and are harder to hit since they always space themselves. But their damage can either be insane on unarmed (and few at that) troops, or be mediocre to bad (mostly mediocre). It's a weapon system that kind of self-balances itself.

      anthony savage You don’t need to be a genius to enjoy FE. It’s really all about figuring things out as you go on your very first play through in the series. You’ll slowly pick up on all of the systems and nuances. If you play on classic mode though, be warned that any characters that die in a battle will stay dead forever. So if that gives you anxiety, just play it on casual mode. They’ve made it very beginner accessible. Before you know it, you’ll be a strategic mastermind outmaneuvering and planning even the most fearsome of armies.

      @benjamindunne8132 Před 4 lety +1

      If you're worried play hard casual. I genuinely think normal is too easy so hard mode will absolutely challenge you to think about the consequences of your moves and you'll be punished for mistakes. You'll still need to consider that your Pegasus knight will be vulnerable to an archer if you send her forward to kill that mage after all.
      But divine pulse and characters returning after death means for a newbie the punishment will feel more fair.
      Then for your second playthrough you'll be well prepared for hard classic

    I didn't understand the parmanent death system. So my students can die and I never see them again? Do I get new students? And can I turn off this feature? Thanks in advance for the help :)

      In the 3DS title Fates, you get to choose one of 3 difficulty settings. The hardest one has permanent death, in the middle one defeated soldiers simply retreat, and come back into your party at the end of the battle. In the easiest one, defeated soldiers rejoin the fight after a few turns. I don't know if 3 Houses is exactly like that, but permanent death can definitely be turned off

      Fire Emblem is known for permadeath. You get units over the course of the game but dead units stay dead. Added difficulty modes in later installments allowed units who fall in battle to just be out of commission until the next one.

    • @sajanpatel4956
      @sajanpatel4956 Před 4 lety +1

      Permadeath means that when a student/teacher/character dies, they’re gone forever. You don’t get a new student after another one dies. You can’t turn it off whenever you like, but you can choose between classic and casual. Casual allows for units to come back at the end of a battle after they die, and in classic, they’re gone forever. I’d suggest classic though, because in the game there is “divine pulse” which allows you to rewind a turn if a unit is killed.

    After the success of the 3ds games Nintendo announced that fire emblem will considered a primary asset and that it would receive the backing that other series like Zelda and Mario have enjoyed, and I can say three houses definitely feels like evidence that they spared no expense.

    Is the casual mode actually casual, as in I, someone that's never played a Fire Emblem game, can navigate the combat enough to get to the story?

    • @zant2146
      @zant2146 Před 4 lety +1

      Casual mode is just no permadeath. Your fallen units come back for the next battle. If you're new, it can be nice to learn the mechanics of the game/series while still playing through the story and getting to know the characters more without being afraid to lose them because of a beginner's mistake/RNG screw/misunderstanding of a certain mechanic

    I have two questions!
    1. How long is this game exactly? I've seen comments saying something like "bye 200+ hours of my life" before. Is it true? Is it longer then Persona 5? That'd be pretty cool (I very much prefer longer games that last more then a day or two. Persona 5 is the only one I've played that does this currently.)
    2. Do I have to play/know the other games to understand this one?

    • @xxxtraheatxx7514
      @xxxtraheatxx7514 Před 4 lety +2

      There is three houses obviously from the game, each house takes about 40 hours to complete and longer to do everything.If you did do every house which has different stories then yes it’s pretty long. And no you do not need to have played previously games to play this one. Sort of like breath of the wild, you know the characters if you have played previously games but it’s not need to have tons of fun.

    • @tahamohammad8842
      @tahamohammad8842 Před 2 lety

      1. It depends on how you play. On average though I’d say about 60 hours per play through. If you just want to rush through the main campaign expect a shorter campaign and if you want to be thorough it’ll be even longer.
      2. No you dont. Aside from the pre/sequels in the franchise (like FE3,FE10 and FE7) most fire emblem games are self contained with a different cast of characters. Three houses follows this rule. The only thing you’ll be missing are some FE4 references, nothing major at all

    I just don't know. It looks like a really confusing game and series in general. I've never played a Fire Emblem game. I've only seen their strangers in Smash since Melee. I've played a few strategy games like Civ/RTS's and I love Persona 5, but I'm not sure about this.

      I’m not the biggest FE fan but I can try to help. Don’t look for Persona 5 in this game, while this game does have the most in terms of social aspects it still takes a backseat to the main gameplay focus which are big strategic battles. If you liked wars in Civ this game is basically fighting dudes like that except with a little bit more complexity with weapon types, crits and permadeath
