FIRE EMBLEM THREE HOUSES REVIEW - Happy Console Gamer
Ойындар
Fire Emblem: Three Houses review is an upcoming tactical role-playing game, developed by Intelligent Systems with support from Koei Tecmo Games. The game will be published worldwide for the Nintendo Switch by Nintendo on July 26, 2019. The game is the fifteenth game in the Fire Emblem series, and the first for home consoles since Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn (2007).
Three Houses is set on the continent of Fódlan, divided between three rival nations now at peace, connected through the Garegg Mach Monastery. Taking the role of a former mercenary and new tutor at Garegg Mach, the player must choose a nation to support and guide them through a series of battles. The game carries over the turn-based tactical gameplay of earlier Fire Emblem titles, while incorporating social simulation and time management elements.

This how Nintendo makes their gamers addictive. Interesting storylines, amazing characters and gameplay. Not with manipulative loot boxes and microtransactions.

that has been the perk of Nintendo games and consoles, it's their trademark, of course they are not without flaws though, things like region lock and such, but the past few years they have fixed many of the underlying 'annoying' problem.

Joël Naveed BOTW is NOT an RPG. Three houses is a tactical strategy JRPG It’s a classic. The character Interaction is A1, The soundtrack is legit highest tier, the world building is brilliant, the gameplay in both the combat and the levelling is so good. The environments could’ve been a lot better and the visuals overall. That aside it’s right up there
English voice acting has improved with leaps and bounds in japanese games the last couple of years.

It's still nothing but fake. I don't understand why would anyone pick the fake instead original. Seriously. Maybe it's hard to understand for American people, but for me, as European person it's mind blowing that someone mature is unironically chosing the dub.

@@axogreen876 yes it's mind blowing from my perspective. Obsession about your own language. And as I said earlier it's not only about Japanese media. It's all the same for literally any other language. Playing GTA dubbed into other language than English is as cringy as playing Japanese games dubbed into English (or any other language). It's worse butchering than visual censorship actually. And as always, you stated binary option (learning language - yeah, I learned Japanese, but what about other languages? Being able to appreciate foreign languages and cultures has nothing to do with obsession, it's only natural for any open minded person). No, this world isn't binary, people aren't machines. Dubbing is fake regardless of the country origin.

Wow great review. I can't wait to receive my copy and play the game.
really enjoyed your review - i feel the same way about the game. I am unsure how I feel about the "rewind time" mechanic on classic mode and the school is so-so but I am loving everything else.
Great review. I do have one question about the month system. Do they give the player enough time to do everything we want in the month or no?
Easy way to level professor level. Stockpile Fishing bait, wait for a fishing bonus day that gives multiple fish per catch, that way you can get over 100 professor exp per bait used. I grinded Professor rank C+ to A+ in one fishing session.

Love your review. You've made me very happy and excited to go pick this one up!
This is absolutely my favorite game on the switch, maybe my favorite game of all time, thank you for the review! I absolutely loved path of radiance and radiant dawn. I've played most of the FE games, but nothing captured me as much as the radiant duo, until now. I think the full sized characters and 3d terrains really makes it more immersive. I haven't played persona yet, but after this I know i've got to give it a try.
Better to play hand held or TV? On oled switch would, triangle be better to start. Did you ever review Vandal Hearts? I loved that years ago.
Johnny, we love you! Keep up the amazing work, man! 👌
Great detalied review with a personal touch, just like always. Thank you Johnny, always thankful to have you in the community.
Hey man, love your videos. Keep up the great work, your positive heavy way of going through games has really persuaded me to purchase quite a few! You the man, keep it up!
Wanted you to know your review is what convinced me to go buy the game a couple days ago. I am really enjoying myself. Haven't played a strategy RPG since Shining Force 2 .
I just barely picked up my copy a few days ago and I'm absolutely loving it, the characters, music, art style and game play are beyond stunning.
So many awesome Switch games! I love this console.

Picking it up first thing tomorrow morning! Happy to hear you enjoyed it so much :D
im thinking about buying it but something bugs me is it like little mini side tasks u do in a house and just play levels as the campaign theres no open world free roaming stuff?

I have a quick question. I only took 27h to finish the black eagles route. Why is that does anybody knows ?
I picked this up on launch day based on your trusted review Johnny. The game looks and plays beautifully so far. I can tell it is going to be pretty unforgiving, with a lot of mechanics to learn, but it's drawn me in to where I'm happy to invest the time and effort. Great review and infectious enthusiasm!
Do you get a totally different story depending on what house you choose and who lives and dies?
So, as a Fire Emblem novice, would you recommend playing on Classic or Casual? Any input from long time fans or people introduced to the series with Three Houses would be greatly appreciated.

I just picked this up for my fiance. I planned to pick up two copies like I usually do; However, my fiance is more of a Fire Emblem fan than I am. Unfortunately, Nintendo did not ship enough copies and this game is sold out everywhere. I wish Square would release another Final Fantasy Tactics or an Ogre Tactics. Normally, I would preorder but I simply forgot it was coming out. Thankfully, we are both huge gamers and have so many games to play it's insane. We have in our master bedroom alone- 2 4K UHD's and two of every console (enhanced versions) and two bookshelves filled with games. We also have a spare bedroom dedicated to retro gaming with everything from the Atari 7800 to the Xbox One, and PS4. We are also building a home arcade to add too this cacophony of gaming goodness. Great review as always, I am a subscriber for life.

I'm glad they give you a language option, I my self preffer English unless the voice work is terrible which with newer games it's good. I was playing Tales of Vesperia on my Switch and I thought it was pretty good. I feel more immersed understanding the language.

It's the 16th game in fact. It's getting to the point where it's hard to keep track. Glad they shook things up with this one though, enjoying it a ton.

I had my doubts about this game (I'm a F.E. fan, too), but I'm pumped 'cause I know Johnny is a very honest reviewer. I've always enjoyed the gameplay in this franchise but I feel the recent games on the 3DS had weak storylines (Fates in particular I struggled to finish)...let's see if this can recapture the magic of the older entries!
The voice acting was so good. Played though it 3 times, looking forward to my 4th in A while. It's A rare game that I really treasure and sadden it will end.

Each chapter of the game is divided into months. You use your time to prepare for the main story battle at the end of each month. This goes on for about a year before there is a 5 year timeskip, and then the second half of the game begins.

I must admit there does seem to be a hell of a lot of new stuff that seems a little overwhelming right now having not played it yet. I totally get the one more battle thing though.
