[@Orcawsom]

as a game developer, i guarantee you that menu change of "Arts" vs "Combat Arts" was a HUGE argument among the developers trying to consider how it would appear to first time players who might not know of the mechanic.

4:07 just so everyone knows I remember Cristina Vee said on Twitter that she never broke her NDA contract so it’s more likely that they made a simple re cast for reasons unknown

[@______-uw3ei]

[@michaelmorones5041]

I think Cristina was just a placeholder as everything else in the trailer was clearly a work in progress

[@firewolf950tfwgaming7]

In the first trailer Edelgard was the focus which may suggest that we were meant to agree with her more easily than in the final game where she’s more morally grey and questionable if you side with her.

[@MrSentinel07]

I'd say it's more likely she was just a stand-in, and as they got a better idea of Edelgard's character, they realized she wouldn't be the best fit. That's not a shot against her. Cristina is a fantastic VA, but's hard to imagine anyone but Tara Platt as the authoritative Emperor herself.

[@walter4180]

Man, I love three houses and it's probably one of my fav games, period. But I sooo wish it was in the oven just for one more year or so. Edelgard and Rhea's routes respectively felt so grossly rushed in comparison to Blue Lions and Golden Deer and just felt straight up silly at times.

[@SauceMeGud]

Yeah, much as I absolutely adore Three Houses, it's frustrating to think about the even better game that we almost had. Game publishers seem to be having a really tough time learning this lesson. Give the games the development time they need. This isn't rocket science.

[@GamersXnostalgia]

Rhea's route pissed me off. The final battle is such a bad design, it made me rage quit a few times. I actually haven't picked it back up yet because I refuse to be a bitch and put it on easy mode. ,😂

[@Mannetasi]

It would have made much more sense for them to add the Crimson Flower route as DLC in my opinion so we could have seen it completed. But oh well i still loved the game and the Crimson Flower Route dispite it being rushed.

[@Myeongkee9]

6:11 The interesting thing is that when you think about it, Ashe doesn't really have any significant direct connections to anyone else in the Blue Lions like they all do with each other. Dimitri, Ingrid, Sylvain, and Felix are all childhood friends, Mercedes and Annette are best friends. and Dedue serves as Dimitri's retainer. Ashe doesn't have that same sense of familiarity with anyone else in that house. So maybe he WAS originally going to be in the Golden Deer house (assumedly with a noticeably different backstory since, as you mentioned, Gaspard is not anywhere near the Alliance)?

[@Mary_Studios]

That would make sense and I do believe that somewhere Claude said that there's a huge focus on bows for the Golden Deer so maybe they were planing on making him be apart of it but changed it for reasons being that they needed to make an even amount of students in each house.

[@momoandmiz]

But his adopted older brother was falsely implicated in the Tragedy of Duscur (and soon handed over for execution by Catherine) which ties him to the Blue Lions that he didn't even know about until after his paralogue.

[@Myeongkee9]

@@momoandmiz Fair point, but I imagine if Ashe WAS supposed to be in the Golden Deer, he would've had a very different backstory where he hadn't been adopted by Lord Lonato/had any sort of potential connection to the Tragedy of Duscur at all.

[@roaringthunder115]

Yeah he probably had a different backstory.

[@TheOmegaDragon]

Mercedes was originally from Adrestia though and had connections to Jeritza because they used to belong to house Bartel. She seems almost out of place in Blue Lions in that regard even though she is best friends with Annette.

[@everettwatsonrazorearcwolf6553]

I would have loved that separation between Attack and Magic

[@AlexT7916]

Same

[@jaidora]

I guess they wanted to have some reason to give the players a choice between classes that uses melee weapons and magic spells otherwise you’ll have units made of Jack-of-all-trades. The master classes might’ve been the original idea for units who can use both weapons and magic since they’re the “final” class. Still I wish there could’ve been more classes that uses magic like the Maligknight.

[@bradaloop]

Why? Just seems like a useless menu option that isn't needed

[@Big-Chungus21]

Im guessing it was removed because it made sense to have all attacking magic in attacks, rather than putting attacking magic and healing magic in one place

[@ItsYuhBoyyyy]

@@bradaloop because sometimes you attack with a weapon by accident when you meant to use magic

[@donovanhancock6137]

From what I can tell, Tara Platt and Christina Vee are both still on good terms with Nintendo and IS, so the change for Edelgarde's vioce here looks like they just simply decided Platt was a better fit for the character

[@papersonic9941]

They probably just got her to voice her lines in the trailer.

[@RenxyQuad]

Really felt that three houses should have at least another year of development. Kinda sucks that they had to release this game just 2 years after echoes.

Even the DLC has SS using the lines of VW, mentioning Claude a lot and after Gronder being from the wrong month.

[@DavidKyokushin]

I think Petra had 100% crit on this thief because he was at half health. Maybe it was staged, or maybe it was how her personal skill was in pre-release versions instead of +50% crit.

[@ScoopsMayCry]

Formations explained by Jeralt kinda sound like an adjustable weapon triangle which would've been interesting.

[@tirex3673]

One thing that always intrigued me, is that last line of narration in the E3 2018 trailer: "I will return some day my Teacher, promise me, that you won't forget me." All other lines are in the game, most of them in CF or BE-WC. But this one line, isn't and I wonder where it was. Where did Edelgard say goodbye to Byleth? The other lines suggest, this is CF. How different was the timeskip, back then?

[@YingofDarkness]

Maybe when Edelgard gets crowned, she doesn't come back with you. Instead you are left making excuses for her until she returns with the army? Either that or they just assumed that something like SS's cutscene would play out for CF pretimeskip (but instead of clashing swords she would explain herself there and then leave to go get her army). It is actually hard to wrap your head around and would explain why they just yeet Byleth off a cliff. They need an excuse to create a large timeskip, but probably couldn't come up with a good reason other then yeet.

[@tirex3673]

@@YingofDarkness I don't think, it has to do with the coronation, because "some day" doesn't sound like "see you in a month".

[@YingofDarkness]

@@tirex3673 Yeah I was just throwing ideas at a wall. The whole sequence makes zero sense unless IS themselves weren't sure about how it would go about. They probably had a list of plot points they definitely wanted to create, but hadn't yet come up with the way to get to those plot points.

[@papersonic9941]

I assume it was meant to be said during the "let's meet up 5 years from now" scene.

I would have really wanted them to keep formations in some form. It would have added some fun depth to gameplay.

Edelgard just needs to sound like Mitsuru Kirijo, it's what makes her so cool imho, lol Regarding the Hilda thumbnail i prefer the old ear design, the final one is kinda creepy in some characters, lol

Speaking of Mistsuru from Persona 3, am I the only one who finds it interesting that both her and Edelgard use the phrase “come what may”? Edelgard: Come what May, will you stay by my side? Matsuri: Come what May, we’ll be together. Like, come what May isn’t a common phrase.

[@alextorres5467]

Why would you point that out... God

[@missquark_]

@@SolracDude yeah, well imho Mitsuru and El have a ton in common, they both are "heir to an empire" (literally for El, while Mitsuru becomes the leader of a huge company), they phased out a carefree childhood early in their lives, they both project confidence but deep inside they are insecure themselves, they seen some shit (dare I say: they were both experimented on!). That's the points I can easily think of, it's been years since i played the awesome P3 games, there may be other similar points as well. Anyway, El has the perfect voice if you ask me. The reason I love 3H so much is, in part, because it reminds me so much of Persona games.

[@GermoDante]

That alternative crit animation looks sick

[@starkillahx]

It reminds me of when a character activates a skill in valkyria chronicles

[@jaidora]

Speaking of fists, I remember a hint from the Switch news that explained a few skills and their reason for unarmed combat is because “fists don’t break”. Sounds cool but you can’t use fist combat arts and your might is only your base strength. Would’ve been really cool if you could perform fist combat arts and land them twice if you’re unarmed, there’s nothing weighing you down and it also appeals to using your base strength if not grant you a guarantee follow up.

[@jaeon0095]

I also believe that Silver Snow is suppose to be incorporated w/ Crimson Flower, but the choices within it would be more complex and it'll be longer than the other routes, so they trimmed and split it into two... Or it could've been just one story but with scenario altering decisions but they chose to simplify the game. I seriously hope the next (not remake) game would just be one solid story path.

[@jordanquimby854]

I want branching paths always I liked the ability to side with her in crimson flower

[@Pomelheim]

I don't comment often but you highlight some really good points! I work in game dev, so it's interesting that so many text changes went in so late; you want your text water-tight before you request localistion. It's a huge task and it's usually done right at the end, but just early enough so QA have enough time to test it (any issues with the localised text can genuinely delay a release, so pretty risky to do late). I think you're right in saying a lot of these scenes were "scripted" for the trailer to show off certain aspects as well, we do that a lot too :P My two cents on the art style: it likely changed for performance reasons, it seems like such a drastic visual change to implement in the last year of development (visual style is decided early on). The final game runs pretty well but there are still some drops (last Crimson Flower fight comes to mind, it drops significantly when you zoom out), its probably why the textures as so pixelated too in some areas, probably an uphill struggle during development!

[@Vivles]

Ngl, I kind prefer the more detailed version of the monastery over what we got?

[@SauceMeGud]

Hardware limitations. Nintendo is stubbornly insistent that the way to make more money while keeping their prices competitive is by making their consoles out of playdough. They've never once made a console with current-gen tech; they're _always_ at least a few years in the hole, and that's by design. The Switch could be twice as powerful as it is, with little to no trade-offs or sacrifices. The only reason it isn't is that Nintendo wants to be able to undercut Microsoft and Sony while still squeezing every last ounce of profit like the wretched, money-hungry vampires that business executives invariably are. And because of this situation, ambitious projects such as Three Houses need to be optimized and reoptimized to run as efficiently as possible on the limited hardware they have to work with. Optimizing Nintendo games is like being asked to render a copy of the Mona Lisa using a pack of worn-down crayons with half the colours missing. I have great respect for the people who take this on in order to make these games playable for us. And even with all their work, games like 3H and Breath of the Wild still have uncomfortable FPS drops. Three Houses, while amazing and infinitely enjoyable, suffers the shortcomings it does chiefly because it was given insufficient development time, but also because it's on the Switch.

[@Fermin-hw5pd]

@@SauceMeGud I think you are missing the point

[@rigistroni]

Tbh I think they were just scrambling to put together a trailer for that first one. You can tell this game was rushed, as much as I like it, so I think it was like "fuck fuck this game needs to come out yesterday throw a trailer together and hit record"

Not gonna lie, I still can't believe how dumb and silly the whole Fistbreaker thing is. Hopefully the devs were really short on time, 'cause I can't come up with a better explanation for scrapping that skill otherwise that isn't lazyness.

[@regulusking4299]

Considering how long the game was delayed and even in the final game there are parts that feel rushed like the CF route. I think they were pretty short on time. I mean 3H is an insanely packed game compared to other FE games I could see them being rushed instead of being lazy

[@ToddHoward76]

@@regulusking4299 Unfortunately that rushed quality is a big hamper on replays and balancing. The lack of balancing compared to the other games in the series makes Hard and Maddening completely different experiences despite their supposed one level difference in difficulty. The big problem is the story. The game can be so tedious to play through again and again that the full story is really hard to piece together unless you have an insane amount of dedication and pay attention to everything and tie it all together somehow. Not to mention a lot of the lore is tied behind the library, which in my opinion is very boring and makes an already tedious monastery experience feel even more slow

None of the changes were super surprising in hindsight, but it does seem like battalions and gambits were a watered down version of what was originally planned for formations.

[@lavitzthejadedragoon]

Seeing an interview with a dev who worked on these would be pretty hype, tho it might be difficult considering the language barriers

[@YingofDarkness]

I completely forgot that formations used to be a thing even though they confused me when they were first introduced. I remember thinking that they seemed overly complicated but not sure why? Then again I'm not the brightest when it comes to game mechanics so it was probably just me going "New thing? Looks complicated"

[@Ale41976]

in early trailer i always thought the gambits were to have an extra variation depending on shapes, like its pretty focus this formation is a triangle so it should have an piercing effect, then the same gambit with a rectangle formation would have an extra defensive effect, an arrow formation could serve as the explorer skill on feh and allowing another unit ro pass save on that tile without reducing his movement, a circle formation could be used to evoid the enemy from moving as its being cornered, etc..

[@boop99]

I wish that Edelgard still said "it's now or never!" It's generic but so iconic

[@MythrilZenith]

A lot of things change in development, especially minor stuff like text and whatnot. Until a product goes gold there's no limit to how much can change, even if it's as simple a change as just commenting out unfinished or placeholder info.

[@disgustof-riley8338]

So basically 3H and Fates were too damn ambitious

[@sevasentinel4146]

The name changes seem to have just been an issue of localizing, but after seeing how similar the names were before the final localization, I can tell that the old names seemed weird due to the localization team at the time not knowing how the transliteration from Japanese to English was meant to be. The example that made me realize this was Galatea originally being Garatea. Since Japanese has no l and r distinction, I guess they just assumed the name was meant to have an r before learning that it was meant to be an l.

One of my favorite things to do while modding FE games is to look at the code and see all the little (or big) things that were left in the code and just not used. In particular is Fates which seemed to have quite of few of these like how the chapter you fight Leo in on Birthright has, within the unit placement data, regular units (Generals, Cavs, etc) as though Leo originally would fighter you with a standard Nohrian army, but the end result obviously turned into just him and his endlessly spawning Faceless reinforcements.

Honestly, it kind of makes sense that Ashe was originally going o be in the golden deer with a probably different backstory that didn’t relate to the tragedy of duscur. He does not have any relations with anyone in the blue lions as there is the friend group of Dimitri, Ingrid, Sylvain, and Felix. Dedue is Dimitri’s retainer. Dimitri knows Gilbert which links him to Annette, who she herself is friends with Mercedes. He quite didn’t fit in. So I think they changed his backstory and added him to the blue lions.

Ashe is tied to Catherine. Who is tied to Lonato. He has a very clear Blue Lions backstory. Meanwhile, nobody in the Golden Deer had a tie into Claude. Half the Golden Deer are random nobodies too.

Title: massive development changes Thumbnail: hair wasn't pulled back but actually is. Not talking crap just thought it was funny.

[@Speckmantelmade]

I was so not impressed or interested after the first few trailers dropped. The reason I got this game and fell in love with it was how everyone talked about the supports and better fleshed out characters when it was two weeks old. Don't regret buying it at all, but the trailers were kinda boring imo?

Gatekeeper not bring a dlc was the biggest disappointment

[@ROMULUS8384]

This goes to show that the game was rushed

[@magnuscritikaleak5045]

Because Nintendo Kicked Omega Force studios off for no apparent reason other than the Game is taking Far too long to alter change and publish.

No offense to Tara Platt but I prefer how trailer Edelgard sounds a lot less bitchy than she does in the full game

[@JayJay-qu4nw]

I wouldn't be able to take edelgard seriously if her voice didn't change.

What music is playing on the outro?

[@el_zinga]

Believe that is "land of the golden deer" from the golden deer path post timeskip

The outro is the Credits song from FE9 Path of Radiance, it's sung in the Galldr language from the Serenes' Laguz

IS gotta put more time on these games and not rush release; ya aint poor.

That choice isn't made by IS though, I'm sure they would have loved to be able finish everything they had planed.

Also, this whole tale of massive changes and cut content just further convince me that capitalism is in the way of making truly incredible video games, and without it, things would improve as video games would no longer be a product, but purely an art form.

[@jackdias9263]

Capitalism is what incentivizes games to be made. That said, if a private donor commissioned an entire game’s production then it could really become an incredible work of art.

[@MrGksarathy]

@@jackdias9263 No it doesn't, and the numerous fangames, indie games, and the entirety of sites like Newgrounds are proof. Games are a labor of love, or at least they could be, and the fact that games as products must turn a profit leads to things like crunch, rushed development schedules, cut content, and more simply to be released for max profit. In addition, developers don't have full creative control over their own work because they don't own the product generally. If we lived in a society not structured around the profit motive, then games could be much better, even as shitty games would also multiply.

[@absoul112]

@@jackdias9263 Capitalism incentivizes game be profitable. Sometimes that means they're good, usually it just means the games are made to emulate what's popular at the moment.

[@twistedluki2100]

How exactly without games being a product would said games get thier funds required to make them it's not like devs can just work without getting paid so development could continue

[@MrGksarathy]

@@twistedluki2100 This wouldn't be a problem since devs wouldn't require monetary compensation for the labor required for making a game, and they would have their needs provided for regardless. Moreover, the resources to make games would be freely available to any prospective developers because no one would have proprietary rights or exclusive ownership of that capital. Instead, it would be under common ownership and all can partake as they need.
