I don't really get Camus vibes from her, and I'm starting to doubt Rhea being an enemy even if the church becomes one tbh. At least, not in all paths. I get more Sanaki/Tanith/Sigrun vibes from Rhea's faction. I'm thinking Rhea will try to save the church from the corruption within, with Catherine and Seteth helping her to do it, more loyal to her than to the church itself. Not sure if all 3 of them will be playable, but I could see them at least being allies to Edelgard and Claude, and assuming Dimitri is fighting against the abuses of the church, maybe even him (unless his goal is total anarchy).

I was torn between Edelgard and Claude for the longest time, started leaning more towards the Golden Deer recently, but post time skip Edelgard is amazing and I need to see how that path goes down for my first run.
Hoping I can recruit Hilda over, but if not I'll try getting Marianne, Ingrid, and/or Felix.

When they showed the mission with Ignace and Raphael, it seemed like it was made for the two of them, when they spoke about it ? Like, would have it been the same with Raphael & another student (standard conversation) ?? Or do you have to recruit both (no matter which house you choose) to have this mission ??? I'm confused.
Yeah, it was specifically for them. They mentioned part of recruiting students from other houses is to access paralogues you normally wouldn't be able to.

New gamespot video, showcasing a fight with the Blue Lions. Can hear all their voices quite clearly since there's no narrator.
Byleth's Sword of Creation has 20 durability, so there must be some form of repairing back.
Magic has per-map uses as we knew. Physic has 5 uses per map.
That was very nice. No offense to the Treehouse crew because they also showed quite a bit, but they played the battles really fast and it was hard to keep up with everything. This slower gameplay gives a better feel of the flow of battle which looks great.
-
Noticed dismounting is an option for cavalry, at least indoors? Didn't catch if it appeared on the outdoor map.
Was hoping for at least an hour, ah well, maybe they'll show a bit more later. Liked what was shown though.
-
Can recruit multiple students from other houses to access certain paralogues. Nice!
The battle gameplay is looking beautiful. Very quick in general and nice animations.
-
Have a feeling we weren't supposed to see Sothis there, lol.
Some supports are locked to pre or post time skip. Nice.
The tutoring seems pretty interesting, glad to see it detailed like this.
-
No kids is a good thing if only in that it confirms they're finally willing to stray from the Awakening formula for new titles. I mean, this game already looked very unique, but I'm glad the focus will be on the students themselves instead of matchmaking.
Something that I'm a bit worried about just based on how it's been discussed is how long the second part of the game will be compared to the school part, which seems really lengthy. Assuming tutoring and most of the other academy stuff isn't available after the time skip, I wonder what they'll replace it with? I just hope the parts are pretty close in length, as I would be bummed if the school setting took, say, 30 hours to get through in an average first playthrough and the war part was done in half the time. Maybe there's larger maps in the second part or a bigger focus on sidequests, something to pad it out.

I'm not thinking that Time Travel to prevent the war is possible; that's too powerful and idealistic for my taste and even for Fire Emblem itself. I think that it would be more like going back in time to influence events so that maybe someone is more likely to ally with you in the future or has a skill they didn't have before. Mainly as a way to justify the academy being so prominent in the story even after the time skip occurs.
Ah gotcha. That might be more digestible. Like forging alliances to help you in the present by going back and planting the seeds in the past.
12 minutes ago, Ottservia said:Maybe but I think the focus on time seems to lean into a different theme. Based on all the info we know about the story so far with this trailer and the main theme. The main thematic through line of this story seems to revolve around the idea of “change” or the idea of “nothing lasts forever”. The song itself is constantly talking about “how time betrays” or “wishing to stay in the light and not wanting to face the darkness” which could hint at themes of “loss of innocence” as you grow and “graduate” to where you are forced to face all the darkness this constantly changing world has to offer. Though that’s just my assessment
Excellent points, I agree, which is why I hope the story doesn't shy away from showing exactly how cruel the world can be no matter how good characters' intentions might be.

Is anyone else sorta getting Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time vibes? Because that's sort of how I'm feeling about this game. Like we play through to a certain point and then we get the chance to go back and alter the past which will affect the future, like with the Temple of Time. Don't get me wrong; I really am interested in this idea. I'm just a little concerned as to how it will be handled in-story. Time travel has a lot of potential, but can be pretty easy to mess up.
I'm really hoping the story isn't time travel to prevent the war. Sothis' line does seem to suggest there will be some important time shenanigans involved though. At the very least I hope that if they go that route, they'll avoid a super happy ending and choose to show that no matter your choices, not everything has an easy fix.
-
I'm good with this trailer being all we see of the time skip before release tbh. Hopefully Treehouse just shows the monastery and some early chapters. Looking forward to it either way!
-
Post time skip designs look great. Edelgard stays winning looking amazing, Dimitri is most improved, and Claude loses some of his charm but still looks great.
Can't wait to see how the other characters look after 5 years.

All the vital parts were right, we even saw a glimpse of Claude's Wyvern(if I'm not mistaken). Who's ready to be crazy with Edgelord?
Yeah after this I'm totally going Black Eagles first. Give me ruthless empress, I'm all about that Targaryen route.
-
Shit, it's all true. I'm excited now. The post time skip lords look amazing.

Um so the leaks might be true look at the comparison between Edelgard and this girl with buns
There it is. That's definitely her. It's too similar not to be.
-
I'm more and more convinced. That definitely could be Edelgard post time skip. I wonder if they're going to officially keep the time skip secret until after release or if it'll be part of the E3 blowout.

S tier: Claude, Edelgard, Ingrid, Petra, Dedue
A tier: Mercedes, Hilda (only because she's a Serra copy, if Serra didn't already exist she'd be S), Ashe, Marianne, Felix
B tier: Dimitri, Caspar, Lysithea, Leonie, Hubert, Linhardt
F tier: everyone else

So thinking about the leak and a lot of the details, one aspect that is somewhat concerning to me is that apparently the three main nations will end up in conflict, and you'll be fighting against the house(s) you didn't pick, at least somewhat.
I mean, this isn't exactly a shocking idea, long before any leaks, many people speculated that this might be the case. But there's an aspect of it that didn't really hit me till recently, and that is that you make your choice of house at the beginning of the game, when the nations are at peace. When, presumably, any real substantial details about the future conflict/war, and the reasons for it, are completely unknown to you.
People are going to be choosing houses based on things like "I think Edelgard is sexy" or "I like this house's color scheme" or "there's a side character in this house I want to learn more about", and then halfway through the game (or whenever part 1 ends and the main conflict unfolds) they're gonna be stuck supporting a faction that they may actually despise.
Fates get's a lot of criticism, but at least it made some effort so that players would know (hypothetically at least) what they were supporting when making their choice. While Three Houses may be more akin to asking players "what's your favorite color? Red? Okay good. 20 hours in you're gonna find out that this means you support the 'ends justify the means' anarchist revolutionary willing to slaughter countless innocents to achieve her goals... enjoy!"
I mean I'm joking a bit at that last part, but Thani did mention multiple times how ruthless Edelgard is.
I suppose it's possible that maybe the specific reasons for the conflict will change depending on which house you pick, so that conveniently, no matter which house you choose, that house will always be mostly justified in their actions in your playthrough.
Anyways, it's just a bit of a concern I have. I have no problem with giving players a potentially complicated, difficult choice on the faction to support in a war. But having that choice instead determined by a much earlier, innocent choice that will indeed for some players come down to "I think some of the characters are sexy" is sure to be galling for some players. Like imagine if you had to pick a faction in Fates, but had nothing but the cover art to go on, and then ended up with Nohr.
Maybe I'm weird but I'd actually love that. I don't think it will be that extreme but it would be a super interesting way to get players to question their principles and beliefs. You've built these bonds and attachment to your house's characters over the first third of the game, so just how far are you willing to overlook things you might disagree with to justify your favourite character's actions in wartime? The whole avatar/player choice system would then make sense as a way to reinforce your support or express disagreement over your Lord's actions (even being able to switch allegiances in the third and final part?).
Again, I really don't think it'll be that extreme but I would love if it were. It would be so shocking for those who haven't kept up with leaks and speculation haha, but damn if it doesn't have potential for an amazing story.

Spanish or Portuguese countries in Europe, sure. But, Latin America would be a bit of a stretch.
I was thinking pre-hispanic Latin American cultures, to be precise. I think they could fit in well with the typical FE worlds.

Everyone else from Leicester seems to be white so it's a decent way of explaining why we get a Lord with a different skin tone in the setting of white folks we've got. That could imply we meet and even recruit some Almyrans later on, diversity ftw.
Yeah, it was weird seeing that all the other students in Claude's house are inexplicably white, but if he's mixed race it makes sense. I'm still happy to see more race diversity in general in this cast (Petra and Dedue also have dark skin), but I'd love if Almyra had a significant part in the story. I think FE could do really cool things with African, Latin American, and Middle Eastern inspired countries being the focus of a game like Hoshido was, and hope they try in the future.
-
Hoping Setes gets introduced, he has a cool design and I'm curious about his role.
I also wonder if Anna will have a significant enough role to get an introduction. I'm hoping she's just a shopkeeper/helper this time around, but it'd still be nice for her to get a bio.

Japanese Lysithea: "I'm 2-3 years younger than everyone else"
Localized Lysithea: "I'm technically an adult, teacher"
-
I expect one of them to be a woman, it's one of the first things that occurred to me. Although the Flame Emperor being Edelgard's older brother makes sense.

Otherwise, I think Blue Lions have been sealed for me (at least for my first playthrough, but to get replay value I really hope they have New Game+ option where I can keep some of my upgrades and do the other houses).
I'm still not sure who to pick! ?
Edelgard is an amazing design and seems to be the "main" lord, but only has a few students I'm interested in.
Dimitri is my least favourite of the lords but has the most students I like.
Claude is also an amazing design and has a couple of my favourite students and a couple that are extremely forgettable.
Honestly I'm leaning towards Golden Deer for the first run unless we learn that Edelgard is the "canon" route or there's a major story reason for picking her first.
Three Houses Title Screen
in Fire Emblem: Three Houses

Same. I think it's a good sign that the FE theme was literally the first piece of music we heard from 3H in the first trailer, and with the game seemingly drawing so much inspiration from classic entries, I have hope they'll feature it on the title screen. Maybe mixed with the 3H main theme, like in the first trailer.
