The bar for RPG's has raised a lot since Awakening. Persona 5 is one of the most polished and well designed JRPG's of recent years and it managed to score a 93. Three Houses looks small and clunky in comparison. |
The two aren't really comparable genres. Fire Emblem is much more of a strategy game than a standard JRPG, having more in common with X-Com or Advanced Wars than something like Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest. Even if Persona 5 were some design marvel of the last generation (it really isn't, there are plenty of areas that could use a lot of tweaking/adjusting for P5R), it's unlikely that it would be taken into account for most reviews of Three Houses. Changes in a standard RPG are about as likely to affect reviews for FE as changes in FPS design would be to affect reviews for something like Deus Ex or Resident Evil.
