War is coming to the continent of Fódlan. Here, order is maintained by the Church of Seiros, which hosts the prestigious Officer’s Academy within its headquarters. You are invited to teach one of its three mighty houses, each comprised of students brimming with personality and represented by a royal from one of three territories. As their professor, you must lead your students in their academic lives and in turn-based, tactical RPG battles wrought with strategic, new twists to overcome. Which house, and which path, will you choose?
The game features the refined gameplay the Fire Emblem™ franchise is known for. Command a party of warriors to move and fight on a grid-based battlefield and, for the first time in the series history, assign battalions of troops to support individual units in battle. As a professor, you are responsible for teaching your students and improving their skills in their academic lives and in battle. These may be school assignments, but the stakes are very real. Your students’ lives depend on your leadership. It’s up to you to guide each of them, so that they may wield a variety of weapons, master the study of magic, and acquire special skills such as horsemanship. But there’s more to being a professor than commanding armies. Freely roam Garreg Mach Monastery and the academy within it, while interacting with talented students to build relationships and gather intel. After meeting one enigmatic girl named Sothis…you’ll come to realize that she appears only within your mind. What other mysteries await?

FE3H is very much an amalgamation of all the Fire Emblem game that came before; it has the ambitious story scope and character roster of Fates, some maps are challenging akin to Radiant Dawn, great detailed world-building. But it stands alone unique and on its own merit, not a mere copy-paste.
=============================================================================================
+++ Pros +++
+ Story: it is full of intrigue and hidden depths especially when you build supports from various students and faculty. You can just skim through the main story, but the details in the profiles and interactions between characters greatly adds to worldbuilding and understanding of the overall story. One playthrough will not be enough to understand what is happening in Fodlan. The story is gripping and sucks you in.
+ Unit customization: FE3H maybe the most customizable FE game yet in terms of class, abilities, and weapons (rank and type). While Fates does have relatively more, but I thought FE3H balances it quite well. The game makes it much easier to have certain units catch up to a certain rank for them to class in something to be effective like you want them to.
+ Big Maps (but not too big): the maps and how the battles are set up are quite interesting. While many of them are "defeat all enemy commanders", there are couple of maps with sub-objectives that gives bonus at the end. Although I had a hard time navigating on the zoomed-in-on-the-ground view, I appreciate the feature of seeing units as if they are truly on the battlefield. The perspective adds to the huge scope. It is a nice feature albeit it cuts into the frame rate.
+ Characters: while a couple do follow some of the trope you see in anime and previous FE, there are nuances added to give them some depth. But that depends on how much supports (not just protagonist's) you are willing to put in the work. There are various ways within the game to get those support points, not just on the battlefield. Choir practice, dining hall, group goals. Find ways to pair them together and build support points.
+ Art and art direction: I especially liked the art work from when the chapters begin. The style is so much different from previous FE titles. It looks straight out of a medieval history book. Or it has that style.
+ Battle system: FE3H took out the weapon triangle, but has the weapon durability. Battle system is in similar veins as Shadows of Valentia, and I'm not complaining. It's fun to play. Gambit is the new feature, and it's different. For one, it gives more customizability to a unit, and having battalions on a battlefield, makes the map more of a battlefield like FE has us to believe. It took some getting used to, but can be an effective tool.
+ Voice Acting: everything (except protagonist) is voiced. EVERYTHING. English AND Japanese. Wow. And the acting is fantastic. I played with dubbed voice cast the first time, and I had a blast being with these characters.
--- Cons ---
- Small texts on the big screen: the texts are so tiny on my TV and I could not find an option to change the font size. It was so frustrating.
- Drains Switch's battery: fiddle with brightness to save the battery or carry the charger with you.
- Lip flaps: talking audio and lip flats doesn't match. I got used to it, but it was jarring the first time.
- Cutscenes, or its style: I thought there was relatively more smoothness compared to how it was in Valentia. But there's certain edge and sharpness to the animation. Personally, I am not a hug fan of such a style especially in tender moments, but it works well during action sequences.
=============================================================================================
There's no another blue-haired Lord character. So, that's a big change already. There were a couple of story beats that had me scratching my head like troops traveling too fast, too easily across the continent without opposition or monsters. Or how the protagonist has too much special-ness like Corrin from Fates where everyone likes him or her out the gate.
Overall, I really like the game and recommend it to those who like FE or strategy games. Even to those who like Visual Novels because FE3H has those elements as well. There is a casual mode and time-undo feature (Divine Pulse) to redo certain moves. The game balances out difficulty for both veterans and newcomers.
FE3H has a lot of replay value. Highly recommended.
The game is miles away from what Fire Emblem use to be in terms of how it plays and progresses. Everything has been change but as scared as I was to find out how much it changed, cant say Im disappointed. The story still has the Fire Emblem flare to it, in fact it I feel what has been done is mainly adding more depth to the game as whole and characters and even going as far as making 3 seperate stories that all play differently. Absolutely breathtaking :D
There are some cons that I wish were handled better but also some that come with the changes.
-Classes definitely lost a lot of their uniqueness due to being accessible to everyone. But now you can have a team full of only mages if your intention is to turn the game into Hogwarts haha.
-There are a lot of technical issues but never crash nor cause any huge inconvenience most were just graphic issues I experienced.
-Graphically the game isnt that impressive but thats been a problem since the change to 3D.
-The roaming in the game becomes tiresome and pointless at a certain point but I appreciate the feature and I have a feeling next installment will have this greatly improved.
- Lastly the animations dont really pack a punch and as much as previous series before Shadows of Valentia,, past entries had really great animation for characters that really gave characters personality in the battlefield. In this game you dont really notice it
Pros
- It's by far the longest Fire Emblem game I played even if you skip the roaming and instructions.. theres just so much more to the game now then heading to mission and starting it. Doing Paralogues and so forth.. the game is fantastic in the replayability field and even game length.
-Characters have soooo much more personality and you know who is who and hard to really mix them up.. They feel like part of the story and feel genuinely interesting. I had more fun watching through the supports event scenes opposed to playing the game.
-Weapon durability is back and Magic doesnt cost health nor are they items so it wont waste space in inventory which was a problem in Awakening.
-Although the weapon triangle is gone theres is a new aspect to the game that I like and that is weapon skills have more personality and allows more diversity in what you want to use and who you should use.
-No corrin... or lucina.. or forced story elements like kids appearing out of nowhere. Instead you get to see your students grown up which is so nice and I really hope this will be more expanded upon in next entries.
-too many pros to list.. Im a die hard Fire Emblem fan and I really thought this one was going to suck but Im so glad Im wrong.. and honestly impressed and I cant recommended enough specially if you never tried a tactical RPG style game,, this one has anime written all over it to with visual novel like so it has something for everyone.. only people I can see disliking this game.. is Someone who utterly despises anime and turn rpg games in general which i dont know why they would even consider this game but maybe it does chane your mind.

Desde el lanzamiento de Fire emblem Radiant Dawn la franquicia de la gran N, no había lanzado titulos para sus consolas de sobre mesa y en esta ocasión regresa de una forma espectacular, es uno de los juegos que mejor aspecto visual maneja en la Switch.
La historia es bastante extensa ya que cuenta con 3 camapañas, los Golden Deer, black eagles y los blue lions pudiendo el jugador elegir que campaña recorrera, y cada campaña cuenta con sus finales por lo que si quieren completar el juego les llevara una buena cantidad de tiempo.
El gameplay ha cambiado muy poco ya que antes el sistema de juego empleaba el sistema de piedra papel y tijeras, es decir la espada era efectiva contra unidades que usabam hacha, las unidades con hacha contra las de lanza y las de lanza contra las unidades con espadas, se cambio un poco este sistema para agregar un poco mas de reto al juego. Sigue manteniendose el sistema por turnos en el cual nos movemos por el tablero como si de un juego de ajedrez se tratara por lo que deberas moverte con cuidado si es que no quieres perder a tus unidades, ya que recordemos que la saga cuenta con la opción en la que si matan a alguna de tus unidades esta muere de forma permanente.
El juego se siente muy bien en switch es de los pocos juegos que tanto en modo portatil, como en modo tv se puedem disfrutar ya que se ve muy bien en ambos modos, el cambio de equipo siendo antes intelligent system y ahora Koei Tecmo es que le sento bastante bien, el juego en general es muy bueno, ampliamente recomendado, un must have en la biblioteca de juegos de todos los poseedores de una Switch.
