I'm really not a fan of the aesthetic either -- it gives me cheap F2P knockoff mobile game vibes -- but art style isn't something that's make-or-break in a game for me. As long as it has solid, fun, balanced mechanics and gudmaps, I'd be happy. Heck, the dry drab Euro board games that I adore look much worse in comparison.

I also complained about the UI aesthetic in the first reveal, and I'm happy the current iteration looks a lot better.

The real plot twist would be the church/goddess actually being benevolent after all.

And all of us were the bad guys all along. It's the only explanation for the characters' lifeless, soulless eyes.

It'd be like if they just dropped a trailer for FE9 and people were saying it was bad because it had cat people in it just like Star Ocean 4.

Yep! If Tellius were dropping this year instead, we'd be all up in arms and pitchforks about how IntSys is really taking furry pandering to the next level, etc. Hogwarts High School would've appeared classy and tame in comparison.

Really disappointed that Three Houses got rid of item storage. Shuffling items between units is going to be a massive pain

Instead of an item storage, each student has a locker you need to shuffle items between. In one of the lockers is where you find the Est-character.

I'm glad that they're trying something kind of different this time, and I really don't mind the aesthetic at all. I've got every reason to believe Three Houses is going to be a step up from Fates at least. I even like Fates, but I was never able to really ever go replay it.

Yeah any royal does it, including children. I find there's always someone on hand to use a DV.

Revelation is a veritable dragon vein buffet so of course it uses that power for evil




I agree map manipulation was pretty cool but felt very underused. And doubly bummed Warriors didn't use it to its full potential but Warriors gonna Warriors

Instead of being X character does Y all the time, they should do a thing like

Bring a spellcaster to this river to raise/lower the water level

Bring an axe guy to this dam to break it and flood the battlefield

Bring an archer to this spot to shoot an explosive and breach helm's deep

etc. etc.

I'm also glad to see that the direct didn't mention anything about building your own child soldier army. Fingers crossed it stays out of this game.

Camilla I guess? Because she shittalks Hinoka like crazy and it's amazing.

Oh and Forrest, Forrest is cool. You do you you crazy twintailed motherfucker. Also for:

Corrin: But You're My Sister!

Camilla: Who gives a gently caress, we're not related by blood.

Okay. Conquest only because obviously.

The Awakening Kids and their families get in. So that's Odin, Selena, Laslow, Soleil and Ophelia for sure.

Forrest is good so that's another.

I don't know if Velouria is well written or I like her because I think she's a Fantastic Four reference.

That's like 7 people, that's doable.

On normal.

On casual.
