Along with featuring the game in this week’s issue, Famitsu posted an online article for Tons of Fire Emblem: Three Houses. It shares plenty of details and screenshots regarding crests, battalions, classes, academy gameplay, and more.<\/p>\n
Here’s the full roundup, courtesy of Serenes Forest<\/strong><\/a>:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n History of the Crests<\/strong><\/p>\n – Some characters bear \u201ccrests\u201d passed down by their ancestors Skills and Crests<\/strong><\/p>\n – Skills are an important part of a character\u2019s personality and growth Protagonist<\/strong><\/p>\n – Personal: Teacher\u2019s Guidance: Boosts user and adjacent ally\u2019s experience gain by 1.2 Edelgard<\/strong><\/p>\n – Personal: Imperial Bloodline \u2013 Boosts user\u2019s experience gain by 1.2 Dimitri<\/strong><\/p>\n – Personal: Royal Bloodline \u2013 Boosts user\u2019s experience gain by 1.2 Claude<\/strong><\/p>\n – Personal: Alliance Bloodline \u2013 Boosts user\u2019s experience gain by 1.2 Hubert<\/strong><\/p>\n – Personal: Strategist \u2013 Boosts Gambit Might by 5<\/p>\n Dorothea<\/strong><\/p>\n – Personal: Songstress \u2013 At the start of each turn, restores adjacent allies\u2019 HP by 10%<\/p>\n Dedue<\/strong><\/p>\n – Personal: Liege\u2019s Shield \u2013 If user waits without acting, Defence +4 for one turn<\/p>\n Felix<\/strong><\/p>\n – A sarcastic guy who affectionately calls his childhood buddy Dimitri a \u201cboar\u201d Lorenz<\/strong><\/p>\n – Personal: Prestigious Noble \u2013 When a battalion is deployed, damage dealt +2 Hilda<\/strong><\/p>\n – The only daughter from a duke\u2019s family; she\u2019s a lady who\u2019s good at acting cute The Ten Greats<\/strong><\/p>\n – The Ten Greats appear to be the legendary heroes from F\u00f3dlan\u2019s past The Protagonist\u2019s Colleagues<\/strong><\/p>\n – Two teachers that work alongside the protagonist Battalions<\/strong><\/p>\n – Characters can deploy battalions who appear alongside and assist them during battle Gambits<\/strong><\/p>\n – Gambits can be used by characters with battalions deployed Co-ordinated Lance Assault<\/strong><\/p>\n – Hits one enemy on the left and right of the targeted foe Godspeed Preparation<\/strong><\/p>\n – For one turn, increases the movement of allies by 5 Lure Scheme<\/strong><\/p>\n – Targets an adjacent foe and moves them to the tile behind the user Gauntlets<\/strong><\/p>\n – New type of weapon that is based on fist-fighting Class Introduction<\/strong><\/p>\n – Mid-tier classes available after Level 10 have been introduced Mercenary<\/strong><\/p>\n – Mercenaries who fulfill their objective Cavalier<\/strong><\/p>\n – Riders who ride in battle on horseback Brigand<\/strong><\/p>\n – An axe-fighter with exceptional strength Fistfighter<\/strong><\/p>\n – A gauntlet-wielder who fights at close-combat Mage<\/strong><\/p>\n – A practitioner of black magic Dark Mage<\/strong><\/p>\n – A practitioner of dark magic School Life<\/strong><\/p>\n – The game is divided into two parts: battles and academy Game Flow<\/strong><\/p>\n – During weekdays, there will be lessons Professor Levels<\/strong><\/p>\n – During tutoring, you can teach your students and enhance their professor levels (Sword, Lance Axe, Authority etc.) Instructor Level and Gauges<\/strong><\/p>\n – In addition to the Instructor Gauge, there\u2019s a Stroll Gauge and Venture Gauge as well Motivating Students<\/strong><\/p>\n – To smoothly develop your students\u2019 talents, you\u2019ll want to keep their motivation high Tutoring<\/strong><\/p>\n – During individual tutoring, you can pick a particular professor level to raise for each student Set Goals<\/strong><\/p>\n – Besides tutoring, you can choose the \u201cSet Goals\u201d option to make a student focus on two Professor Levels for them to improve via self-studying each week Group Tasks<\/strong><\/p>\n – Each week, two students can be given group tasks Blossoming Talent<\/strong><\/p>\n – Some students have 3 stars next to a Professor Level they\u2019re weak at Church of Seiros<\/strong><\/p>\n – The Church of Seiros, which is deeply rooted in F\u00f3dlan, was founded by the Divine Seiros Crests<\/strong><\/p>\n – Many of the nobility, who are descended from F\u00f3dlan\u2019s Ten Greats who fought during the War of Heroes, hail from families that bear crests
\n– The crests play a major role in influencing one\u2019s social standing
\n– Ex: the Adrestian Empire\u2019s imperial throne has been passed down for generations to those with the crest of Seiros
\n– In addition, crests may unlock talents such as superior physical or magical ability
\n– The protagonist possesses a crest
\n– This same crest appears in various places, like on Sothis\u2019s clothes, the king with the golden blade in the first trailer, etc
\n– The name and properties of this crest are a complete mystery
\n– It\u2019s even called \u201cCrest of ???\u201d in the game<\/p>\n
\n– When set, they have a particular effect during battle
\n– 3 skill types: personal, class, professor
\n– Personal skills: Innate skills that each character has at the start; can’t be removed and there\u2019s only one for each character
\n– Class skills: Innate skills for each class; granted to that class only and disappear once you change class
\n– Professor skills: These are learned skills according to the character\u2019s professor levels (in Sword, Lance, Axe, Authority, etc.); can be customized and are independent of class<\/p>\n
\n– Crest: Crest of ??? \u2013 A mysterious crest of unknown origins<\/p>\n
\n– Crest: Minor Crest of Seiros \u2013 A minor crest said to have belonged to the Divine Seiros<\/p>\n
\n– Crest: Minor Crest of Blaiddyd \u2013 A minor crest said to have belonged to Blaiddyd of F\u00f3dlan\u2019s Ten Greats<\/p>\n
\n– Crest: Minor Crest of Riegan \u2013 A minor crest said to have belonged to Riegan of F\u00f3dlan\u2019s Ten Greats<\/p>\n
\n– He trained to hone his swordsmanship
\n– Personal: Solitary Wolf – When a battalion is not deployed or when battalion health is zero, damage dealt +5
\nCrest: Crest of Fraldarius – A crest said to have belonged to Fraldarius of F\u00f3dlan\u2019s Ten Greats<\/p>\n
\n– Crest: Minor Crest of Gloucester \u2013 A minor crest said to have belonged to Gloucester of F\u00f3dlan\u2019s Ten Greats<\/p>\n
\n– Adores fashionable and glamorous things
\n– Personal: Plead \u2013 When entering battle with an adjacent male ally, damage dealt +3
\n– Crest: Minor Crest of Goneril \u2013 A minor crest said to have belonged to Goneril of F\u00f3dlan\u2019s Ten Greats<\/p>\n
\n– They were first mentioned in the description of the Noble class
\n– Presumably there are ten of them; we currently know of five: Blaiddyd, Riegan, Fraldarius, Gloucester and Goneril
\n– These five names also match with places on the world map.
\n– So far, the Ten Greats and Seiros only account for 11 of the 21 crests shown on the Goddess\u2019s mural<\/p>\n
\n– Hanneman is voiced by Kenji Hamada and is a scholar who studies the power of crests
\n– He tends to get excited whenever the topic of crests comes up<\/p>\n
\n– Battalions can be hired and equipped to each character
\n– By deploying battalions, the character\u2019s abilities may change and \u201cGambits\u201d can be used
\n– Battalions can be hired via the Knights Guild as the story progresses
\n– When choosing from the list of battalions, you can see the battalion\u2019s name, Gambit, required Authority level and cost to hire
\n– The bottom panel shows the battalion\u2019s maximum health and affected stats, as well as the Gambit\u2019s maximum uses and properties
\n– The triangle icons next to a character indicate the battalion\u2019s health
\n– Three triangles means the battalion is healthy (above two thirds health), then it goes down to two triangles (below two thirds health), one triangle (below a third health) and presumably none
\n– The \u201cCharm\u201d stat has a currently unknown purpose
\n– If the character leading the battalion takes damage, the battalion\u2019s health will decrease
\n– Once the health reaches 0, the battalion\u2019s effects will disappear and Gambits cannot be used
\n– A battalion\u2019s health can be restored at a guild
\n– For E to D rank battalions, it seems to cost 1 Gold per health, while C rank battalions cost 2 Gold per health
\n– Like characters, battalions can level up and increase their abilities by fighting<\/p>\n
\n– They can deal damage to enemies, but also provide supportive effects allowing for various strategies
\n– When using a Gambit, enemies cannot counter-attack and multiple enemies can be targeted at the same time
\n– Their uses are limited<\/p>\n
\n– This Gambit causes the \u201cDistress\u201d status (reduces all stats by 10%, prevents movement, stat boosts from battalions and Gambits)
\n– Can be used at least twice<\/p>\n
\n– Targets an adjacent ally and seems to apply the effect to all allies with a 2 tile radius of the target (or maybe just a triangle with the user at the centre and the target at the edge)
\n– Can be used at least twice<\/p>\n
\n– Also creates a special tile where the foe used to be, which triggers the same effect
\n– Also seems to inflict \u201cDistress\u201d on the foe
\n– Can be used at least twice<\/p>\n
\n– Gauntlets allow the user to deal consecutive attacks, similar to Brave weapons
\n– If the character\u2019s Attack Speed is 4 or higher than the opponent\u2019s, a follow-up attack will be performed
\n– If a Gauntlet is equipped, you can deal 4 hits in one battle
\n– Gauntlets cannot be equipped when riding on a horse or pegasus<\/p>\n
\n– These include Mercenary, Cavalier, Brigand, Fistfighter, Mage, Dark Mage<\/p>\n
\n– Excel in strength and speed
\n– As a mid-tier class, Mercenaries specialize in swords and axes similar to Heroes in previous games
\n– The featured character is Felix<\/p>\n
\n– After fighting, they can move again
\n– Class skill: Canto \u2013 After performing an action, user can use their leftover movement (from Path of Radiance)<\/p>\n
\n– With their excellent vitality, they fare well on the front-lines
\n– The Brigand has inherited the axe and gauntlet specialties from the Fighter class<\/p>\n
\n– They\u2019re adept at swift attacks
\n– Class skill: Barehanded Battle \u2013 User can fight without a weapon equipped
\n– Only males can be Fistfighters<\/p>\n
\n– Good at fighting foes with high defense
\n– This class can equip magic.
\n– Class skill: Fire – Enables the use of Fire; if already learned, doubles the number of uses<\/p>\n
\n– Good at fighting foes with high defense
\n– This class can equip magic
\n– Class skill: Miasma\u25b3 \u2013 Enables the use of Miasma\u25b3; if already learned, doubles the number of uses
\n– Class skill: Hex \u2013 Reduces Avoid of adjacent foes by 20
\n– Dark Mage is apparently locked to males<\/p>\n
\n– In the academy part, you can interact with students and teach them to boost their abilities
\n– You can also check the in-game calendar to plan how to spend your days<\/p>\n
\n– You can partake in Tutoring, Auto-Tutor, Group Task and Set Goals
\n– These are all options in the Lesson Plan menu
\n– During weekends, you can enjoy some free time
\n– You can take a Stroll, Class, Rest, Venture and Examination
\n– The latter allows you to class-change
\n– During the end of a season, there will be a Field Study
\n– Strolling lets you wander the academy grounds
\n– You can interact with the inhabitants and trigger quests
\n– Near the bottom-right corner of the screen are button prompts to open the Rankings (- button), Menu (X button) and Check Schedule (Left and Right on D-Pad)
\n– In F\u00f3dlan, there are 12 seasons (months) in a year, just like in real life
\n– Each season equates to one chapter or act
\n– You\u2019ll go through the calendar for each season, until the last day and then that current season and chapter will end<\/p>\n
\n– You can Auto-Tutor too if you don\u2019t want to strain your head muscles
\n– If you carefully teach your students, you can better shape them to their needs
\n– Instructor Gauge: This is the green gauge and the number displayed near the top of the screen; shows how many students can be tutored in one week; as your Instructor Level increases, this will go up
\n– Motivation: This is shown by the gauge with the smiley faces; the higher the student\u2019s motivation, the more times they can be tutored, allowing for increased growth<\/p>\n
\n– As the protagonist\u2019s \u201cInstructor Level\u201d increases, the amount of times you can do things will increase and you\u2019ll be able to get more out of your week
\n– Your Instructor Level can be improved by teaching, socializing and taking strolls etc
\n– If you want your students to become their best, your growth as a teacher will be essential
\n– Even dining with your students can improve your Instructor Level<\/p>\n
\n– Motivation can be increased by interacting with the protagonist and during battle
\n– Motivating students is essential for any good teacher
\n– Students will often ask you questions
\n– Answering questions also increases your Instructor Level
\n– When it reaches D, your Stroll and Instructor Gauges will both go up<\/p>\n
\n– By raising these levels, students can learn new skills and wield better weapons
\n– For the most part, equipped weapons do not change when class-changing, so you may want to focus on a main weapon
\n– It seems magic is restricted by class
\n– “Perfect”, “Good”, “Great”, “Bad” tutoring possible results
\n– “Bad” appears to give a minimal amount of Exp
\n– “Perfect” gives twice the experience
\n– Seems to be random which result you get
\n– Result affects amount of XP and a student\u2019s Motivation<\/p>\n
\n– By improving certain levels, you can make students enter exams to change class
\n– Students can also suggest their own goals, but only you can approve them<\/p>\n
\n– When they complete the task, the Professor Levels for that task will increase and the support points between the two students will go up
\n– Depending on the success, a reward can be earned<\/p>\n
\n– After tutoring this level a certain number of times, the student\u2019s talent in that level may bloom
\n– Besides becoming adept in that level, the student can learn new skills and abilities<\/p>\n
\n– In the distant past, they fought against the Liberation King Nemesis during the War of Heroes, to restore order to F\u00f3dlan
\n– It\u2019s said they helped to establish the Adrestian Empire as well
\n– As time passed, the Holy Kingdom of Faerghus became independent, and later the Leciester Alliance split off as well
\n– A long war was fought over supremacy
\n– However, in the present era, the nations exist in equilibrium and it\u2019s largely thanks to the Church of Seiros<\/p>\n
\n– Crests are passed down by bloodline, but not all descendants inherit crests and only a small number of people can invoke their abilities
\n– Crests are divided into \u201cMajor Crests\u201d that contain immense power and \u201cMinor Crests\u201d whose power is weaker
\n– Generally, it\u2019s believed the stronger the hero\u2019s blood, the higher the chance of having a major crest
\n– A child with a major crest can suddenly be born and the reason behind this is currently unknown<\/p>\n
