Jonathan Mok lol, i find this sort of rationalization deplorable. You can hint and imply, but you cant spoil. Kotaku deliberated stated the exact ending including the people who died. None of the trailers did that. As a media outlet intended to be taken seriously, its unbelievable that this was not only written, but it got out of the editing process. TL;DR kinda implied does not mean spoiled, and it does not give anyone the right to spoil because implied is way too subjective. If i said the endgame trailers implied (character”s) death, would it be totally cool because well, i think it was heavily implied? Absolutely not.
Unlike a lot of games like this, where it could feel overwhelming in the beginning....the overall quality of the music and dialog and animations just make you wanna marinate in this. Hope you and Tim Let's Play it. Surprised he hasnt really mentioned it all. Great video man!
Best Game Ever!! First Fire Emblem game I’ve played too!! 8 hours in and I can’t wait to dive in deeper to the secret of the monastery aka Church of Seiros... and to Byleth’s real story!!
Force Hammer Gaming Bro I took the dive from my 3DS and spent the 320 and the 90 for the game + expansion pass, didn’t look back once🙏🏽 totally worth the jump #Golden🏆 Deer 🦌 I’m 6 hours deep and only on chapter 3😭
Also there are battle points during weeks you do battles. Always do the battles that don't use battle activity points first and use those battles to train and level up your weaker characters.
I think good games to start the series off of are Blazing sword and Path of Radiance. If you don’t have a gamecube, dolphin emulator is good for Path of Radiance (Ike’s game). Give it time and you will get invested in the game. But you have to build up an army first
I am playing as Blue Lions. I am just leveling up the students in my house. I buy gifts for others, but I found it hard to keep track on everyone (it's my 1st time playing FE)
David Souvannarath I’d say to train your characters in your main team and especially the ones you like best. It’s okay if one of your favorites is a little over leveled because they can actually make it easier to help you level up your weaker characters by weakening enemies more reliably for them to finish off!
@@Ash_Wen-li that too. I havent gotten to the second half yet but so far almost always there is a 10 unit max that you can bring. I've recruited numerous professors and I never even use them
Do you have a trick or tip on how to bond with the students faster? I only manage to get C support with them which means i am doing something wrong. So what's your advice on how i can improve on doing better?
Just as a heads up a lot of supports won’t go higher than C until a certain point in the story, so you can’t grind out affection points in the early chapters of the game.
The best way is eat, sing with them, giving them gifts, their lost items, and spend 2 days per month(prefelably 1st and 3rd week) with exploring so you can eat and sing more.
Perhaps you could station Byleth/Whoever you want them to support with next to each other during battle? Whenever anyone does a kill there, they get a bit of support points.
Okay so I have a question that I haven’t been able to find anywhere on the internet and that is: when is it best to take certification exams? I don’t know if the cap for units is 20 like every FE game so I’m not sure when I should be taking these exams
You should do it when its available. My characters reached level 25-30 already. Taking an exam does not reset the level in this one, so you dont have to worry about maxing stats.
The one thing to note before taking certifications is the unit's class mastery. Each class gives you unique bonuses once you master them, and you can carry them over to new classes, so sometimes it's worth it to hold out before you certify into a new class. You can always go back to an old class if you want it's mastery bonus though! Mastering Monk for example gives you a skill that boosts your MAG by 2. Commoner/Noble give you +5 HP.
Yeah, it doesn’t work like in games where promotion sets you back to 1 up to a max of 20. I actually thought they would max at 40 but it keeps going, so no idea what the level cap is.
I’m only 3 hours in I don’t get what happens if you get stuck on a fight you can’t grind or leave the fight so how do you get strong enough to beat it ? I havnt ran into that problem but I’m wondering
I eventually got tired of exploring and training and did auto training with exploring only when there was quests available. By the time I encountered the time skip all but 2 of my characters were tier 3 classes and it wasn’t very difficult unless I was facing a lot of monsters...fcking mariabelle (whatever her name is)...quest (Golden Deer route) close to final chapter but I’m going to take a break and finish it tomorrow; curious what post game content there is
I’m not sure if this is true for all student recruitments, but I found they will accept your invitation once I got to 20 of the stat, and C+ of the skill they ask for.
Exploration it's optional (a couple of days only have the option to explore but you can skip them) so the game can be 100% combat if you want. You will make the game a harder.
Do the quest where you help the merchants in a battle, one of the traders that will appear will sell baits. They're not cheap though, and grant so few professor points that it's hardly worth it.
Alejandro Herrada you know how recommendations work, right? In a sense, you do choose. Also, you make a choice to jump into a video you don’t care about and make a non-comment.
@@membou You really don't get to choose. Say I watch FE content, and I never want to watch Kotaku, EVER. I get recommended this. I did mentally choose to never watch a Kotaku video, but still got recommended one because they made an FE video.
Even though the game is awesome in all other aspects. i hate how the gays are always settling for less when it comes to representation! we deserve to have equal options. why give this company your money?! Speak up and tell them how you feel! So tired of hearing "at least we get this" " im surprised we'lll get anything" "Ahhh oh well maybe next time". Thats why they don't respect us cause you keep giving the your money and none of these major game review companies are covering this topic cause they dont care enough!
I’m not really sure how much you’re asking for... I don’t think you need to tell people how they feel. You may be outraged but it doesn’t mean everyone else has to be. In the end it’s a strategy RPG with a side focus on interpersonal relationships, not a dedicated dating sim. While I really enjoy getting to know the characters, I’m ultimately buying it for being a quality strategy game. I don’t see it as having a homophobic agenda, or any lack of representation. There are some characters that will have romantic interest in the MC no matter if you’re male or female, and others that won’t. I’m not gay, nor am I trying to speak for them, but you should probably focus on your own feelings rather than projecting onto others.
@@membou ok no u dont have to worry since u get to have ur cake and eat it too. im not speaking for everyone. this has been a concern for many lgbtq ppl. maybe u just have never noticed or cared but trust me we have since we were kids. there is never any representation for us. and when there is its little, or bad rep. This isnt even really about dating its the fact that they put the options in there but fucked us over. and made two of the supports impossible to marry anyway. they could have made all options equal for both genders. but instead they and every other ignorant person view lgbtq ppl as second class citizens. well ppl need to be aware and speak out. stop settling for less. the game is great sure but so tired of games not including positive represention. so in conclusion their not getting my money. end of story and yes i will continue to speak up whether they listen or not is up to them.
This game is so confusing and really bad at explaining things. I dont know what does what and why i even should do things for like 50% of the stuff yet somehow i win on hard difficulty. Should i even care about support levels? Why do Charakters sometimes use magic and sometimes their bows?? And what are even all those stats supposed to mean??? I mean there is so much stuff to do in Persona 5 but i never once felt as overwhelmed as in three houses.
The game will automatically attack with whatever weapon has the range. So you might have a bow equipped, but it'll switch to magic because you're trying to attack close range (bows require you to be 2 spaces away).
Most characters use two pieces of equipment like tomes and a sword. Depending on how far or close range depends on the weapon you use. When clicking attack it should let you pick either or. Yeah support also helps a lot so try and build that up and keep them side by side in battle to get the benefits.
yea...this guy is new to fire emblem. Honestly playing at least one of the earlier games would have helped out but since you're new just read. You're going to get overwhelmed for sure but thats normal. Any question you have just search it, better yet try and play fire emblem blazing blade for a while and you might feel more at ease.
Ron Yuma you do know that a game that explains its systems poorly and doesn’t guide the player is very poorly designed right? I don’t think FE is bad ,but I didn’t need a guide to understand persona or FF.
Tiny Sprite Byleth jumps on the loading bar if you press B.
Guac Jellyngton you’re doing gods work
And runs if you tilt your controller
And blocks if you hit X.
MSUHitman he doesnt actually, hes actually waving his (i want to say blazer?) x does nothing
MSUHitman false
Best tip: dont read kotaku’s reviews where they blatantly spoil the ending of the game. Thanks so much for that!
You good sir saved my life
the ending is kind of implied in the Nintendo trailer tho...
Jonathan Mok lol, i find this sort of rationalization deplorable. You can hint and imply, but you cant spoil. Kotaku deliberated stated the exact ending including the people who died.

Perfectly said. You just want to keep playing. And genuinely look into the lore and character backstories
The music when walking around at the monetary can be a bit tedious if you ask me. But other than that the music is really good imo
i just bought and i feel like im trying to avoid playing the game idk why

Also there are battle points during weeks you do battles. Always do the battles that don't use battle activity points first and use those battles to train and level up your weaker characters.
Can't wait for Christmas when I have a switch
Smash and Zelda are worth it alone.
So, how is it?
Did you get it?
Me trying to watch as much beginner's tips and tricks as possible whenever I play a new game.
I’m thinking if getting this game. Never played FE though

I have a stupid question. I just started and Im a bit confused. Should I be trying to level up EVERYBODY? Not just students in my house?
I am playing as Blue Lions. I am just leveling up the students in my house. I buy gifts for others, but I found it hard to keep track on everyone (it's my 1st time playing FE)

You cant level other students not in your house. You can try to build a bond with those students if you want to recruit them
There's a limit to units you can use in battle. Leveling up everyone possible may not be necessary
@@Ash_Wen-li that too. I havent gotten to the second half yet but so far almost always there is a 10 unit max that you can bring. I've recruited numerous professors and I never even use them
Already at Chapter 7 of my Golden Deer playthrough. Enjoying good growths on my students. Heheh
I was playing hard classic mode and gotta spam that reverse time magic if i dont wanna lose characters...
Careful bro! All the characters are too amazing to lose :D
Chaika Gaz it’s a challengeeeee but I love it
Do units gain support when they are Adjutants?
Red yes they do, and they also gain support when they have a hand in destroying a unit

You can buy more at the eastern/western merchant
Thanks all of you, the shop kind of appeared later in the game, I think im too much in a hurry.
I might be really dumb, but why does this play through have faculty and pretty much every girl, did he just recruit every single girl?
He likes girls nutz right
7.2 virgins

What are you playing on easy or something. You're not supposed to breeze through the game like that. There are so many more things to do in the game.
Hw many chapters are in this game
Depends on the route. Crimson flower has 18, silver snow has 21, and both azure moon and verdant wind have 22 chapters
theres so many spoilers lol
Why is Byleth hair green
At a certain point in the plot, crap happens and one of the results is a change in hair color
They dyed it

And also, Are they permanent additions to your roster?
You have to have the right stats to recruit them and yes they stay with you if you got the right stats

How much of the game is actually combat?
Marcelo Casimiro Queiróz e Costa 75%
I would say a bit more around half.
