Fire Emblem: Three Houses is a tactical role-playing video game developed by Intelligent Systems and Koei Tecmo's Kou Shibusawa and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo Switch. It was released worldwide on July 26, 2019. It is the sixteenth entry in the Fire Emblem series and the first one for home consoles since Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn , originally released in 2007.

Contents

Fire Emblem: Three Houses takes place on the continent of Fódlan, which is divided into three ruling powers. The game's main protagonist, Byleth, acts as a teacher at the Garreg Mach Monastery. They can teach for one of the three powers' classes: The Blue Lions, who are associated with the Holy Kingdom of Faerghus, the Golden Deer, associated with the Leicester Alliance, and the Black Eagles, associated with the Adrestian Empire. The game's main plot features multiple different story paths after a five-year timeskip, during which Byleth may either ally with one of the three powers or the Monastery. [1]

Development

Chinatsu Kurahana served as the game's lead character designer. She was chosen due to his prior work on Uta no Prince-sama , with the style employed there being used to help reinforce the "glamorous, aristocratic society" the various noble characters lived in. She directly influenced many design aspects of the various characters. The youth of the students was also a focus, with the game being built around their growth. The calendar system was also implemented into the game to make it so players had to pick and choose what they wanted to do and which characters they wished to interact with. [2] The game was primarily developed by Koei Tecmo, whose Scenario Team constructed much of the story's plot. While the Adrestian Empire acts as a primarily antagonistic faction, their presence in Garegg Mach as one of the three houses was used to highlight the peace that existed prior to the war. [3] Compared to previous games in the series, Three Houses was designed with the intention of getting to know every character equally, unlike past Fire Emblem games where characters are met one after another throughout the course of the plot. This new system allowed the player to explore each character's backstory with greater depth than in past installments. The time skip was based on the one featured in Genealogy of the Holy War, which was chosen to allow for greater focus on the characters being forced to turn and fight against each other. [4] The concept art for the game was contractually done by Kazuma Koda, known for his previous concept art of Bayonetta 2 and Nier: Automata . [5]

Main characters

Byleth

Voiced by: Yūsuke Kobayashi (male), Shizuka Itō (female)(Japanese); Zach Aguilar (male), Jeannie Tirado (female) (English)

Byleth is the player avatar and main protagonist. Unlike in past games in the series, Byleth's appearance cannot be customized, but Byleth can be either male or female. Byleth is a stoic, emotionally distant mercenary who works with their father, Jeralt. After saving the nobles Edelgard, Dimitri, and Claude from an ambush, Byleth joins the Garreg Mach Monastery as a teacher alongside Jeralt. Byleth has a mysterious voice in their head, named Sothis, who is capable of rewinding time. Depending on who Byleth makes allegiances with during the game, they can have a variety of different endings. They can also engage in romantic relationships with other characters via the in-game support system.

Byleth reappears in Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes , an alternate timeline of Three Houses. They act in an antagonistic role, nearly killing the game's protagonist Shez at the start of the game. Depending on the actions taken by Shez, Byleth can either stay an enemy or be recruited as an ally. Byleth, in both genders, appears in the mobile game Fire Emblem Heroes. Both genders have numerous alternate costumes in game. Byleth also appears in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate as a downloadable DLC fighter, and later received an amiibo.

Sothis

Voiced by: Tomoyo Kurosawa (Japanese); Cassandra Lee Morris (English)

Sothis is a mysterious girl who appears inside of Byleth's head. She is initially amnesiac, but has the power to turn back time. It is eventually revealed that Sothis is actually the progenitor god, who was implanted inside of Byleth when they were born in an attempt to resurrect her. An attempt to revive Sothis is made during the events of the game, but is interrupted by the arrival of Edelgard. She eventually merges her soul with Byleth's, no longer appearing before them. Sothis's child-like appearance was chosen to represent the fact she was half-way to being brought back, with her being unable to fully restore herself. [3]

In Three Hopes, Sothis is capable of controlling Byleth's body, and does so on several occasions. Depending on the route, she either joins Shez alongside Byleth, or dies with them. Sothis appears in Fire Emblem Heroes, where she is a "Mythic Hero." She also appears in several alternative costumes. Sothis also appears in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, where she appears in Byleth's Final Smash and as an unlockable Spirit, an in-game collectable. She also appears in Byleth's reveal trailer.

Despite appearing very laidback, he is a cunning strategist. He later reappears in Three Hopes and Heroes, and appears in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate as a collectable spirit in his designs from before and after the timeskip.

Voiced by: Akio Otsuka (Japanese); David Lodge (English)

Jeralt is Byleth's father. Prior to the events of the game, he worked at Garreg Mach, where he met and married his wife. However, after she died giving birth to Byleth, he fled with the child, fearing for their safety in Garreg Mach due to Rhea's involvement in their birth. He became the leader of a band of mercenaries, but after saving Dimitri, Edelgard, and Claude, he returns to the Monastery, where he retains his prior job as a Knight. Jeralt is eventually killed by Kronya. He reappears in Three Hopes and Heroes, and works alongside Byleth in the former game as part of his mercenary group.

He is an ally of Edelgard and the Adrestian Empire, and assists their efforts during the war phase. He later reappears in Three Hopes and Heroes.

Rhea

Voiced by: Kikuko Inoue (Japanese); Cherami Leigh (English)

Rhea is the archbishop of Garreg Mach Monastery, and has served as such for some time. She was one of Sothis's children, and has attempted to revive her mother by implanting her soul into various constructed bodies. One of these, Byleth's mother, did not succeed, but Rhea cared deeply for her, and implanted the Crest of Flames into Byleth to save their life at their mother's request. Rhea's true identity is that of Seiros, a god-like figure in the lore of Fódlan. Depending on actions taken during the game, Rhea can either work together with Byleth, or end up dying alongside the Church.

Those Who Slither In The Dark

Those Who Slither In The Dark are the overarching antagonists of Three Houses. They were once the nation of Agartha, and denounced Sothis as the Goddess. They warred against her, only to be utterly annihilated and forced underground, where they manipulated events from behind the scenes. They ally with the Adrestian Empire in the main game, though the Empire does not agree with their ideals. Notable members include:

Thales

Voiced by: Masaki Terasoma (Japanese); Christopher Corey Smith (English)

The leader of Those Who Slither In The Dark.

Solon

Voiced by: Shinya Fukumatsu (Japanese); Joe Ochman (English)

Nemesis

Voiced by: Naomi Kusumi (Japanese); Jamieson Price (English)

Known as the Liberation King, Nemesis opposed the goddess Seiros centuries prior to the events of Three Houses. He wields the Sword of the Creator, the weapon which Byleth uses in-game. According to legend, Nemesis was corrupted by the Sword and fought Seiros due to this, but it is revealed that Nemesis was originally a bandit, and he and nine others were transformed into Nemesis and the Ten Elites by Those Who Slither in the Dark. He fought Seiros of his own accord alongside them. He is later resurrected during the game's Verdant Wind route, where he is defeated by Claude and Byleth. He reappears in Fire Emblem Heroes.

Seteth and Flayn

Voiced by: Takehito Koyasu (Seteth), Yūko Ōno (Flayn)(Japanese); Mark Whitten (Seteth), Deva Marie Gregory (Flayn) (English)

Seteth is the second in command at the Monastery, serving Rhea loyally. Despite putting up the public image of him being Flayn's older sibling, Seteth is actually Flayn's father, and their true identity is that of the Saints Cichol and Ceathleann. Following an important battle, Flayn was placed into a dormant state for many years to recuperate. As a result, she is rather naive due to having missed much of history. Seteth hides their identities for their own safety.

Gatekeeper

Voiced by: Shinobu Matsumoto(Japanese); Kyle McCarley (English)

The Gatekeeper is a gatekeeper who works at Garreg Mach. He informs Byleth of various comings and goings, though he is implied to be rather mediocre at his job. Despite being a minor NPC, the Gatekeeper became a widely popular character among fans of the game, going on to inspire large amounts of fanworks due to his endearing personality. [7] [8] He was later voted into Fire Emblem Heroes as a "Legendary Hero," beating out major player characters like Marth and Eirika by nearly double the votes. [9] He was later added as a playable character to Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes .

Reception

The characters of Fire Emblem: Three Houses have received a generally positive reception since the game's release. The game's wide variety of characters and personalities have been praised, [10] [11] [12] both for their relatability and their emotion. They have been cited as a well-rounded and engaging cast, with their interactions with the protagonist, Byleth, being a particular highlight. [13] [14] The morally grey characterization of the various factions during the war phase of the game, with their dubious mix of good and evil helping build the depth of their characters. [15] [16] The inability to satisfy the wishes of every character was highlighted as well, as it forced the player to decide which characters they wished to side with. [12] Alanna Okun, writing for Polygon, highlighted this depth, stating that "...you become intensely acquainted with their quirks and proclivities... It would be hard to overstate how much I think about these people who don’t exist, how many soft spots I’ve developed for two dozen fictional students living in the year 1181. Whenever I play, which is practically every day now, I feel made of soft spots." She also highlighted the comfort that many of the in-game support conversations provided for her. [17] The interactions characters have with the world were also highlighted, with the interactions and storylines of characters helping to make the monastery "feel alive." [18] [19] The game's "lost items" system, which involved Byleth returning lost items to their owners, received positive commentary, citing how it helped build depth with the cast. [20] The cast of the game has been widely popular with fans, spawning large amounts of fanart and fanwork. [21] [22] [23] Many specific members of the cast have also been met with particular praise for their various storylines. [24] [25] [26] [27]
