No kidding, there's a ton of things in this trailer that got changed. I kinda wish the soldiers still got launched into oblivion when you use a gambit though.

I got this game without seeing a single trailer for it and knowing absolutely nothing about it. It was literally handed to me for free for my birthday by a relative who only knew I had a switch but didn’t know what I liked to play. I’ve never played a single Fire Emblem game and when I tried playing it I fell in love with it. Seeing this trailer now somehow makes me so happy when it’s so different from the actual game

[@powpowouchy5]

Your relative deserves an award. How’d they know to give you a AAA title?

Changes I've noticed: 1. Names of locations are different 2. Edelgard has a different voice actor 3. In battle UI, the HP is now smaller 4. In battle UI, there are combat arts at the top now 5. In font, the spacing and size of text is smaller 6. In font, text is 3 lines instead of 2 7. Mercedes' hair is less brown 8. Unique enemies, other students look unique on the map now 9. The red squares showing attack range are darker and have an outline 10. I believe the map shown is an early mock battle version 11. Character portraits when talking are now slightly smaller 12. Training specific skills is far different, whereas it's more player chosen 13. Blood on Seiros' sword 14. Enemies don't get knocked back as far from gambits 15. In criticals, it's now a more vertical beam, with the character being larger and the animation is more fluid

[@Syntherus]

The camera height in zoom view also looks higher here, which would have convinced me to play that way. It's just too low and uncomfortable in the current build to be a viable way to play. A real shame considering how much detail they put into it.

[@RinZDR]

You forgot hilda’s portrait on battle

[@SatachiFEH]

the very last line of edge of dawn played in this trailer is slightly different :))

"Seiros' sword" is actually Sword of the Creator.

[@lorddragonskin3603]

CollinDew16 what if the three units that would agro on her besides Mercedes were lance users?

[@jake72002]

What if those swords are lancereavers?

[@invenblocker]

It's not that dumb if the game doesn't have a weapon triangle, which I don't think it has. She has a natural hit rate of 71 with the steel axe. Against Mercedes, she ended up with a hit rate of 67. I doubt she'd only land at losing 4 hit if she had a triangle disadvantage. This is also backed up by neither the combat, nor the menu setting it up containing any weapon triangle indicators. Also, Mercedes' sword is an iron sword, so it being a lancereaver is not the case.

[@bones9964]

[@John_Alter]

Rewatching this trailer after playing Three Houses, a lot of voice lines of Edelgard contains a lot spoilers regarding her character.

[@zachricca4546]

It does but it’s kind of cleverly done. Considering the time between this release and the game, I forgotten most of Edelgard was about in the trailer except she didn’t seem overly fond of crests. You don’t really know the significance of what she’s going on about when you watch this because you don’t know about Rhea or the monastery. At the same time, her conviction is pretty infectious so it made me intrigued with the game early.

[@mr.stuffdoer8483]

I’d call it out of context spoilers. Many trailers have them.

[@supervegito2277]

@@zachricca4546 I cant remember if all of the lines appear in game but the section at 1:42 Do you dare walk this path with me? One misstep and we fall to our (Ruin?) So take your first step. Its now or never. Is uncannily similar to this event conversation in Path of Thorns (Event is right after Choices and Consequences which is the choice at the holy tomb) Like you, I have risen to meet my destinry. I cut this path and i will see it through to the end. Following me is akin to pointing a sword at the goddess herself. One Misstep and we fall to our ruin. Talks a bit about the church then If you dare walk this path with me, take your first step. Its now or never. Both times i played Crimson Flower that last line got to me.

"Edel-" derived from old germanic _adal_ and Old English _æthel_ , meaning "Nobel". "-gard", likely derived from old Germanic _ward_ and old English _weard_ , meaning "Guardian" (but not completely sure) I'm a huge nerd about name etymologies, so that's how I guessed that.

I’m dying for them to take this Three Houses concept and do what they did with Radiant Dawn where they pit one of your past teams against you in such a way that makes you feel conflicted and remorseful that you made them so overpowered... realizing suddenly that you have to defend a castle from Ike and the ludicrously powerful Greil Mercenaries with your ragtag Dawn Brigade you didn’t even build correctly was the most amazing and gut-churning moment in Fire Emblem history for me.

It doesn't sound like they will. Lost in Thoughts was literally tied into the plot which was a bad choice.

Could someone explain to me how the timeline works for Fire Emblem games? Do they have some kind of continuity or are they like Final Fantasy games all on their own? Does this Fire Emblem: Three Houses have a predecessor? I never played a Fire Emblem game.

[@johnwestensnorris6391]

@@ThaMobstarr Some games are connected, like the GameCube Tellius games (Path of Radience and Radiant Dawn) and the Marth games, but most are stand alone. Also this game doesn't have a predecessor. Really one of the only constant things in all of the series is the red-haired merchant named Anna. EDIT Also for the Marth games as in the ones in Marth's time line the ones I can think of is Shadow Dragon, Gaiden, Heroes of Light and Shadow, and Awakening. Some characters from Awakening actually go to Fates with fake names so that could count in the Marth series. Also I belive there was one where it combined Shadow Dragon with a new story but then after that they made Heroes of Light and Shadow, which was the new story as its own game with an avatar system. On an unrelated note if I get to play Heroes of Light and shadow I would make a resistance focused fighter, as they usually don't have any resistance (it's basically magic defense).

[@blueray7949]

0:38 *casually uses an axe against a unit with a sword*

[@arcturus64]

Since her hit rate goes from 71% in the weapon selection to 67% in the battle forecast I can almost guarantee that there's no weapon triangle advantage.

[@bearfaery737]

I think their doing what they did in Fates and Awakening. As your rank increases, so does the weapon triangle's advantages and disadvantages.

[@SolusLupi]

Or chance to hit is actually lower with low weapon skill as opposed to the weapons dictating aim modified by skill. It might be Edelgard has higher weapon rank in axe so that even with weapon disadvantage her hit rate is very close meaning the axe doing more damage might be a better choice in that scenario.

[@amburprice8479]

arcturus64 I’m not sure what your talking about with the 71% to 67% (time stamp maybe?). The weapon triangle looks intact to me, though. Examples: Axe (67%) vs. Sword (96%) at 0:42 Lance (100%) vs. Sword (59%) at 0:45

[@dracos0024]

arcturus64 71 is the axe's base hit rate, 67 is the hit rate with the weapon dissadvantage.

[@mannp.1704]

Serios is such a badass after watching the opening cutscene

[@empoleon7750]

What we know about the plot right now: - The Church of Seiros holds a large amount of power over Fódlan. - “The Crests,” whatever they may be, are tokens of the Goddess’ power. While some believe they are what keeps order in Fódlan, Edelgard believes the Crests are the cause of whatever is going wrong. - The battle footage we have shows our heroes battling generic soldiers known simply as Kingdom Soldiers. - Aside from Byleth, who may be an Avatar character similar to Robin and Corrin, there are three main protagonists: Edelgard, Dimitri, and Claude. Possible stories for the game: - It could just be an old-fashioned Fire Emblem story, just involving one kingdom becoming power-hungry and corrupt, while one other kingdom’s prince begins to gather an army to put a stop to their trouble. - Maybe the Church of Seiros grows corrupt under a particular religious leader, and our heroes have to band together to stop the Church. - Maybe an evil cult begins to gain enough support and power that it becomes a threat to the Church, and our heroes have to fight for the Church against this cult. Possible details that could tie into these storylines: - These “Crests” may have a Lehran’s Medallion-esque (I have not played Path of Radiance or Radiant Dawn, but I have read about what this incarnation of the Fire Emblem does to people) effect on people, which may have resulted in some of the characters serving as antagonists to become evil. This would definitely support Edelgard’s explanation for the Crests causing the loss of order. - The fact that three main protagonists (Excluding Byleth, who is likely to be a fourth) are present could mean a lot of things. Maybe they are all friends that team up to stop whoever is antagonizing Fódlan, similar to how Eliwood, Hector, and Lyn are. Maybe they met during all of these occurrences and teamed up due to their shared goals. - If the cult scenario were true, maybe they could not be worshippers of an evil god, like the Grimleal worshipped Grima, or a corrupted god, like the Duma Faithful worshipped Duma, but radicalized fanatics that separated from the Church of their own free will, or may have been excommunicated by the head of the Church for certain practices. That may be a possibility. What do you speculate the plot will revolve around?

[@amburprice8479]

Empoleon77 I’ve seen some people say that the young manakete at the end and the Dragon/priest lady could be the same person and some sort of time skip happens. Edelgard did say that she would return one day, implying that she was leaving, which could indicate some sort of time skip. By the way, great analysis!

[@empoleon7750]

The person lying on the throne looks much younger than the yellow-haired priestess we have been seeing throughout the trailer. Also, what makes you say the person at the end is a Manakete? I looked at the image again, and I did not see any Manakete-esque features on her. Is it her age? Also, what do you think would be the most likely storyline among the ones I have suggested?

[@amburprice8479]

Empoleon77 The young girl on the throne reminds me of a manakete because 1. She is sleeping, which is a trait similar to Tiki. She could be a dragon who was put to sleep to for similar reasons that Tiki was when she was young. 2. She is just so young, that I’m thinking she is likely a manakete. Plus she reminds me of Nowi, so there’s that. As for her and the Dragon/Priestess lady being the same person, I was saying that some sort of time skip could have happened. Though now that I think about it, dragons age much slower, so the time skip would be so long that our heroes wouldn’t be around anymore. Perhaps we will get cutscenes that show the past as well that could make this theory valid, but that’s bit of a stretch. I’m thinking that the second storyline is the most likely, where the heroes must take down the Church. The trailer and description seem to be painting the Church of Seiros as the bad guys. That would be interesting, because the churches are generally painted as good guys or a good force.

[@empoleon7750]

Now that I took a second look at the final image, the girl at the end does appear to have pointed ears, a defining trait of a Manakete. Thus, you may be right about that. However, I do not know if she is the yellow-haired priestess as a child. The Possibly-a-Manakete girl in that closing scene seems to have pink hair. Maybe it is a different color, but it looks pink. Also, we do not see the woman’s ears, so we do not know if she is a Manakete.

[@empoleon7750]

Also, I got the idea for the antagonists being the Church from the description alone, not the trailer itself. The trailer talks about “The Crests”, whatever they are, being to blame for whatever is going wrong, despite claims that they keep order. The trailer itself does not appear to give any ideas about corruption in the Church. Maybe you noticed something different than I did that led to you finding evidence of such in the trailer and not just in its description. If so... what do you see?
