"Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes exists for people that liked Fire Emblem: Three Houses. It takes the narrative and characters of the original tactics RPG and provides an “alternative history” take on events, and that was an inspired way to allow the game to be both familiar while telling its own story. For anyone that fell in love with the characters the first time around, this approach makes this take very hard to put down, no matter how frequently you play the Musou releases. My overwhelming impression of this game is that it exudes confidence. Koei Tecmo's team had a clear vision on how to turn everything that people loved about Fire Emblem: Three Houses and turn it into an action game, and with the exception of one new character that turns out to be a Jar Jar Binks-level misfire, they have delivered on that vision. Or, to put it simply: people loved Three Houses, and for all the reasons that they did love that game, they will also love Three Hopes. " --This is the blurb from one of the highest rated reviews, but it seems to address your concerns. Skimming through the metacritic page (which are still coming in), that seems the be the general sentiment for story/lore. Most lower scores and criticisms seem to be the usual bots automatically mailing their Musou brand reviews, after likely playing the game for all of 10 minutes. |
Seems to be getting good reviews, so maybe it was just me. I was kind of expecting it to be closer to a fourth path similar to what Revelations was to Birthright and Conquest and maybe need to adjust my expectations.
