Official Websites Reveal New Fire Emblem Three Houses Info, Character Bios & More - YouTube

(Swoosh)

(Sword slash)

(Intro jingle)

Hello everyone, welcome back to Lucky Crit!

Last time we discussed some of the newly released character bios and information, and as a reminder,

if you are new to this series we've already got a bunch of videos at this point highlighting

everything we know so far about Fire Emblem Three Houses.

As we get closer I'll put together an episode that gives my rundown on everything and what

you can expect when buying the game.

We also had the Fire Emblem Expo occur over the weekend in Japan, and while it certainly

was an awesome event filled with Fire Emblem history, nostalgia, live performances, and

even displayed original Thracia 776 artwork, as I speculated, I didn't really see there

being a huge Three Houses reveal or new information from the expo.

It was much more of a celebratory event with performances and live music than it was a

direct presentation.

So it's probably more likely that we'll see further Fire Emblem Three Houses reveals during

events like E3 this year.

Maybe Nintendo would even go all out like they've done in the past for Breath Of The Wild,

and include Fire Emblem Three Houses as a main part of their E3 Exhibit.

That's probably pretty unlikely, but it would be awesome, and we'll just have to wait and see.

Diving back into character bios for a minute, first off we've got a new bio for the Golden

Deer character, Lorentz.

Unfortunately the Nintendo of America Twitter page that was releasing translated character

bios hasn't done any new ones since Claude.

We'll probably get them eventually, but the Japanese Fire Emblem Twitter account is just way ahead

at this point, so we'll be going with those.

Once again, thanks to our friend SatsumaFSoySoy for translating these.

So this is Lorentz from the Golden Deers, he is the eldest son of the house of Duke Gloucester.

His snobby demeanor belies his serious nature, as he fully understands his responsibility

as nobility.

It seems he has been approaching girls at a monastery, to little success.

A lot of people don't like Lorentz's hair but it's kinda growing on me already.

Seems like he'll need to work on his social skills though.

In this shot he's saying, "They're not quite responding to my advances...

It seems they're avoiding me."

"So you're the rumoured mercenary.

You saved Claude's life, or something...

You didn't need to butt in.

I am Lorentz Helman Gloucester.

Remember that."

Satsuma also points out that the tweet that shared this video clip says that the flower

on Lorentz's chest is fake, further proving his snobbiness.

Next up there's Doudou.

Dou dou?

(doo doo?)

of the Blue Lions.

I really hope that's not the pronunciation.

A peasant from Daska, a place northwest of the capital (of Faerghus, which is Blaiddyd)

and a servant of Dimitri.

Owes a great debt to Dimitri, and has resolved to protect Dimitri with his own life.

His stern face and stoic demeanor makes him often misunderstood, but he is a calm and

gentle young man.

"It seems you've saved his Highness.

...I have no words to express my gratitude.

...I will return this favour.

If anything comes up, I will help you."

We've also finally got our reveal of the pretty teacher lady from the second trailer, with

her name revealed to be Manuela.

So Manuela is a former songstress who stood at the pinnacle

of the capital's Mittlefrank Opera Company.

Now, she is a teacher and doctor at the Officer's Academy.

(Quiet) "I'll play doctor with her.."

She has often been seen at school lamenting that she has yet to meet the man of her dreams.

She has a crude side to her, but she is good at taking care of others, and is friendly

to the new teacher, the protagonist.

ByLeTh GoIn' In!!!

She seems to sarcastically or jokingly say "teacher" while referring to Byleth

since they're both teachers. I think it's kind of a playful thing.

In this scene she's saying, "Oh my, you've come, teacher. This is the doctor's office.

If you get hurt or sick, come here immediately.

....Want some tea?"

The section for Fire Emblem Three Houses has also finally launched on the Japanese Nintendo

website, and with it, of course we've got a couple new things to look at.

First off we've got a closer look of the beautiful artwork being used on the box for the fodlan

collection, which is the japanese special edition.

We're not getting this as the box art of the English or European versions, though.

The site showcases the fact that the game can be played with various controller configurations,

everything that typical switch games can do, you know, liked docked, portable,

using the kickstand and detached joycons, the pro controller, etc, but it does point out that you

won't be able to play the game with just a single joycon.

It makes sense as even though single joycons do have most buttons, they also have the home

button or the screenshot button (and or + and -) instead of like the start and select buttons,

so perhaps they just couldn't allow the player to be able to play the game and get stuck without using those.

This graphic also points out that the game will in fact be single player.

Now that might not come as a shock to most of you, considering Fire Emblem games are largely

single player experiences, but I wonder if this has implications for any online connectivity.

This definitely means any sort of two player co-op is out the door, although I don't think

most people ever assumed that would be the case either.

I'd love to see some sort of Advance Wars-esque war room features though, like each player

playing a turn and then passing the controller to the second player, custom created maps, etc.

A guy can dream.

But I won't get my hopes up.

Regardless, considering how popular the Switch is, and how they baked the portable nature

of the console into it and in all of the advertisements for it, it would be a real bummer if they

didn't have even just a similar level of multiplayer or online functionality with this game,

as they've done in the past,

with features like My castle, or spotpass battles, or anything else they've done.

So I really hope we get at least a few features comparable to those, otherwise it's kind of

a waste that they're not going to be taking advantage of the Switch's portability and online options.

This footage that's playing on the background of the introduction tab, showcases a little

bit more of some of the scenes we've seen from the second trailer.

We can finally see the three houses and their students clearly without the the overlays

on top of them, so it's nice to finally take a look at some of the students.

We can briefly see an animation of what looks to be the same inner chapel as the artwork

from the steelbook case in some of the special editions, with that eerie figure standing

in the center.

It cuts really quickly here, but it's probably Rea, the Divine Seiros, as the cloak on the

figure looks nothing like the other generically evil looking guy from the second trailer.

In the Golden Deer cinematic, we finally get a clear look at Lorentz, Hilda, Marianne, Lysithea,

Claude, Raphael, Leonie, and the otehr kid, Ignace. We'll talk about him later.

In the Black Eagles, we already know everyone here, but take a look at Dorothea, Ferdinand, Linhardt,

Caspar, Petra, Edelgard, Bernadetta with the book on her head, and stoic Hubert

off to the side.

Next we've got a clearer look at the training practice shot between Dimitri and Doudou.

Doo doo. Whatever it is.

The Blue Lions don't really have a similar cutscene to the Golden Deers or Black Eagles

with all the students gathering in their dorm area or classroom, perhaps this is because they're

mostly knight-based they have a stricter concept of school and training than the other houses.

In this case, if that's what this scene is, then it's probably the Blue Lions' version

of this shot and it's likely that we'll see all of the students shown here.

So there's definitely more to this that we'll probably see at some point.

There's a couple paragraphs of information on the site as well, they're pretty much what we already know,

but I'll go through them so you have all the information.

"Fodlan is home to many people who live under the teachings of the Church of Seiros, followers

of the Goddess."

"The denizens of Fodlan consider the Church of Seiros and the Goddess to be especially

important."

"For example, the existence of 'crests', said to have been bestowed to mankind long

ago, are symbols of wealth and power often belonging to ruling nobles and have a profound

effect on people's lives to this day."

Garreg-Mach Monastery is the home base of the Church of Seiros, located in the central

mountains at the centre of the three great nations.

In addition to being a religious site, the monastery is home to an elite order of knights

and has a vital role to play in maintaining order throughout Fodlan."

"The monastery also houses the officer's academy, which educates the young people who

will shoulder the future of Fodlan."

The academy is divided into three houses, organized according to the students' nationality,

and is essentially a microcosm of Fodlan."

The protagonist will choose one of the three houses to teach, guiding them as a teacher

in the classroom and a commander on the battlefield.

There's this cool moving mural of scenes at the bottom of the page here, which contains a

lot of little snippets we haven't seen before, Like a scene of the Knights of Seiros with

the green haired man we don't know much about yet,

Probably just a different angle of one of the scenes we saw in the second trailer.

There's a wide shot of of the chapel, a different angle of the Dimitri army attack

scene, a close up shot of Edelgard and Hubert, probably

from that same Black Eagle cutscene with the other students.

There's a shot of Rea, the Archbishop of Seiros, standing up high on a balcony, probably at

Garreg Mach. A different angle of Claude and Edelgard from their army attack scenes,

And even a scene with female Byleth and the bone sword falchion thing.

The website also showcases the crests or logos for each entity in the game, from the black eagles,

blue lions, golden deer, and church of seiros that we've talked about, but then we've got

the crest for the knights of seiros, which we can also actually see in the second trailer, too.

There's also a separate crest we've seen before in various places, and it seems to be more

aligned with Byleth and the player.

The site also has a character section, which sort of compiles a lot of the recent character

tweets that we saw on the Japanese twitter account, but there's also some new stuff in here, too.

There's a new illustration of the Garreg Mach Monastery, which is beautiful, and

on Byleth's page, there's a new cutscene of Byleth hearing the school bell and leaving;

probably to go to class and teach.

We can see the two different variations for this cutscene with both male Byleth and female Byleth.

If you listen closely, you can hear the Fire Emblem Main theme is school's bell.

That's really awesome.

(Fire Emblem bell)

(Door opening)

It reminds me a little of the customizable town bells in Animal Crossing.

Couple of things with this, I don't want to be overtly negative in this video because

I do think this will be a solid game, but there are a lot of fans that are not too happy with

the animation here, saying that it looks rather robotic, almost as if they set certain keyframes

and had the inbetween frames auto generated by software.

It does look a little floaty, kind of like Byleth is doing the moonwalk a little bit.

So let's hope this is ironed out by release.

Female Byleth is cute, but I'm not sure why her face looks so big in this scene compared

to male Byleth, it's a little odd.

It doesn't really matter, because ordinarily you wouldn't be seeing both of these cutscenes side by side like this,

but it's just kind of strange that her proportions are just so much different and a little bit more

anime-like in her case, I guess.

That's it for this website for now.

But while putting together this video we also had the English version of this website launch,

and with the full version promised to come soon.

Right now it's just a single page for the time being, and far less pretty than the Japanese page,

but here's what it looks like.

Links will be in the description.

I know I keep promising to go through the screenshots from the famitsu website that have been out

for a bit now, and that we haven't gotten to yet,

but this video would be super long if we did everything all together, so I'll

save that part of it for my next Three Houses video.

We're gonna have to wrap up this video here as that's all the time I've got for today

guys, but we still have a lot more to talk about with some of those screenshots,

so make sure you get subscribed if you want to catch our next video on Fire Emblem Three Houses,

and there is also supposed to be another famitsu

spot for Three Houses dropping this week, which means that we'll have even more

news to take a look at, so be sure to stay tuned and I will absolutely be updating you guys on the latest

Fire Emblem Three Houses news as soon as I can.
