Very fun, great story, thought the characters were engaging and complicated (most of them anyways)
Gameplay: Its a strategy game. You move your units and then fight enemy units. But at the same time you level up and give your units different equipment, and you assign them classes. It was definitely something I hadn't really played before, so I enjoyed the change of pace, but after playthrough 10 or 11 it got kind of repetitive, which isn't the game's fault its gameplay model isn't really designed for that much replayability(besides messing with your units' abilities, classes, and equipment) The other aspect of gameplay occurs in the monastery, this stuff is pretty basic, the most gameplay here is a fishing mini game. While in the monastery you can interact with the students, recruit other students if you meet their requirements, go out to eat, cook a meal, sing a song, offer advice, give presents or return lost items, you can even invite npcs out for tea, and just run of the mill fetch quests. Overall I'd give the gameplay a solid 8/10.
Artstyle/music: Both were very pleasing to my senses. I liked the character designs, they fit the personalities of the characters very well, and they were just generally nice to look at (*Lenny face*), and in my 22 run throughs I don't think I saw their animation break. Music was just spot on, usually matched the battlefields or the cut scenes very well, there was one set of music I wasn't personally a fan of but thats because the whole aesthetic felt off. I will say "Edge of Dawn" is hands down my favorite video game song of all time bar none, and then with the context of the game it makes it so much better. Artstyle/music, 9.9/10
Story/Plot: Here's the barebones spoiler free plot description *ahem* [i]You're a teacher, at a combat school, in a monastery of the Church of Seiros, you get to choose which classroom you want, The Black Eagles, Students of the Adrestian Empire, the Blue Lions, Students from the Holy Kingdom of Faerghus, and the Golden Deer, Students hailing from the Leiscter Alliance. Depending on the class you choose you'll get a certain group of students, and your story will change depending on which house you pick. From there you and your students overcome various challenges and struggles as you lead and guide them.[/i] Thats about as much as I can say without spoiling it too much. But anyways the story was an easy 10/10.
DLC Story: It was interesting, and different to say the least, basically its a story about the underworld of the monastery, and you discover a fourth house of outcasts, the Ashen Wolves, and they all have their own unique and strange personalities. The story was pretty much entirely separate from the main story, but it did offer some more informationabout certain things, overall the DLC story was a 7.5/10 experience.
Waifus/Husbandos: Since this is what you're actually here for I'll give it to ya straight. Dorothea is best girl, not by a long shot but if I had to choose one Dorothea definitely wins, however moat of the women in Three Houses were lovely. Not to mention a lot of the guys are pretty nice to look at too, Dimitri comes to mind as one such character, and Yuri was handsome himself, but yes there is no lack of love interests. 12/10 very hot and very nice to look at.
Conclusion: I strongly reccomend getting Fire Emblem Three Houses if you own a Switch, it was just a fantastic experienceI couldn't put down, and I still have one more playthrough I want to do, which would make it my 23rd.[/quote]
