Maps in Three Houses

[bethany81707]

A common observation, complaint or otherwise, is that the maps of Three Houses are frequently recycled. My goal here is to attempt to compile all the maps and their appearances, because I don't believe I've ever seen this contextualised.

• Teleporters of Garreg Mach: Chapter 6

• Remire Village: Chapter 8

• Shambhala: Chapter 20 (SS), Chapter 21 (VW)
• Deirdru: Chapter 14 (CF), Chapter 19 (AM), Alois/Shamir Paralogue

I can see one of the reasons why they reused some of the maps is becasue they didn't have the space to add more of them in all honestly. That, or they just didn't want the game's size to be any bigger than it already is.

New Expansion Pass Content: Additional auxiliary battles

There are five additional auxiliary battles in the Expansion Pass: Battle at Lake Teutates, Battle in the Forest, Battle at Gronder Field, Battle at the Sealed Forest, and Battle at Conand Tower.

 

Guessing Forest is Marianne's paralogue. Not sure if there's a second Gronder Field I should know about though.
Buuut yeah, more to mark as auxiliary battles. Shame you have to pay for more variety in that department. Seriously, the number of times I've been to the mountains...

Some speculate it's partly Koei Techmo's doing, as they're notorious for recycling content such as maps.  They usually do it to save on budget.  As Fire Emblem fans, we saw this with Fire Emblem Warriors, where there were, like, probably 10 maps at most.

They certainly didn't use the space on good texture quality. The skybox in particular is embarrassingly bad. Look up sometime.

- The DLC Auxiliary also uses the Untamed Forest Map and Gloucester (Maybe Gronder Field is a mistake?). 

Also, I don't know where to put this Information but I think its a good place.
At the moment I take note which boost items you get on each of the new DLC Auxilary Map.

So far I have noted.

Teutates Lake -> Gives Miracle Bean (Luck +1) or Ailell Pomegranate (Dex +1),
Battle in the Plains (Gloucester) -> Golden Apple (Charm +1), Large Bullion 
Battle in the Forest (Untamed Forest) -> Ambrosia (Def+1), White Verona (Res +1).

I am still missing the rest.

I think there are so few maps because the existing maps are very detailed in the 3D third person view. But I really wish there would have been more.

Yeah, it's about effort rather than disc space. Maps take a lot more effort to make than in the GBA days, and realistically their efforts were better spent on other parts of the game than ensuring that say Sylvain's and Felix's paralogues having separate maps.

I guess I'd have liked more but much more important to me is the design of those maps (i.e. enemy composition and placement, objectives, etc.) myself. I don't mind that all the non-CF routes have a battle in Enbarr using the same map assets, I do mind that VW and SS use the exact same map design.
