Script []

In an ancient land of swords, sorcery, and social links, three war-torn nations will set aside their age-old conflicts and come together over the one thing they can all agree on: sending their kids to the best private school.

Fire Emblem: Three Houses

Discover the latest entry in the legacy of the Fire Emblem series, where Nintendo doubles down on the franchise's surprise success on the 3DS as a medieval dating sim with some combat and just straight-up makes the game Harry Potter this time, as you take the role of a hot young professor who just happens to be a JRPG protagonist with amnesia and insane powers ordained by destiny, in the world's most happy-go-lucky school for child soldiers. Then, sort yourself into one of the titular three houses: the earnest knights who have a tiny bit of a religious zealotry problem (Blue Lions), the cool kids who kind of turn out to be fascists (Black Eagles), and the pack of misfits who really just need help keeping their sh*t together (Golden Deer). Then, get down to the real meat of the gameplay: trying to bang one of these kids. And hey, if you're worried that dating your students is kind of a bad look, you're also a serial killer and a god, so honestly, it should be pretty low on your list of ethics.

Foster the growth of your child charges through Three Houses' new out-of-combat gameplay that takes the minor social link gameplay from the previous titles and goes full Persona with it, giving you a fully-3D school to run around in full of students to creep on, PS1-era textures to enjoy, and an absolute litany of grindy side activities to keep you away from the combat featuring: eating seven meals with your students a day, making your students fight for your amusement, fishing 50 times to max out your professor level, picking up all the trash you see on the ground and carrying it around in case somebody lost it, luring new children away from their houses with their favorite candy and treats, and furiously having tea with everyone you meet, where you'll be rewarded for good conversation skills with a chance to stare wordlessly at your students' character model in a feature that might actually be creepier than the skinship thing in Fates. Then watch as all your hard work pays off in one-off skits and gags as your relationships blossom and the one-dimensional anime hairstyles they call "characters" start to develop half a personality so you'll maybe give a sh*t about them...? See, now, it's going to make it WAY harder for me to ignore your permadeath.

Gear up for the new and improved combat systems that Three Houses offers, being way easier, as Fire Emblem ditches the restrictive weapon triangle from previous games and showers you with ways to upgrade your troops, from tons of out-of-battle skill upgrades to numerous special attacks that let you eke out that extra damage you need, the new Battalion system that gives units uncounterable damage and free stats, and grindable battles to raise your units' levels far above the story missions, almost ensuring that you breeze through Normal without the traditional crushing fear of losing your dudes. Don't worry, you'll still be save scumming; it'll just be for dialogue options this time. Can't ever disappoint my dear, sweet hikikomori wife...

So grab those Joy-Cons and drop those trou, for a Fire Emblem experience that has something for every type of unsalvageable nerd you can imagine. Unless you really, really hate anime; then, why are you even playing these games to begin with?
