I'm having a really hard time getting into it. I don't really like any of the characters and this whole monastery thing feels too much like Persona for me. FE seems more about waifus these days. Does the story at least pick up? Because I'm leaning towards just dropping the game and selling it.

This is the least fanservice-y FE game in 8 years. And yes, it is the first one with this school/academy structure.

Byleth is a stupid name. Like why Violet? Her hair isn't even that color.
This is by far the less fanservicey FE game to date outside the badly designed FeMC's outfit. I wish they would have done something after the true reclassing :/

If you didn't like any of the characters, or hooked on anything (whether if it was the sim-like management, the SRPG combat, or the initial story setup and settings) even after 5 hours or so, just drop it.
I do want to suggest to take it slow, treat it like a Football Manager game, just focus on one or two characters you are at least not hating, and go from there. Though It's obvious you're not invested from the start, and no amount of story will be able to remedy that.

You can recruit people from other houses but they never appear in cutscenes. Timeskip Claude's team has the best looking girls hands down. Glad I still was able to snatch most of the other girls from other houses before that crazy bitch went genocide happy.
Also the non s support in between characters outside Byleth is bullshit. Lazy.

I've noticed a few changes lines in English thanks to having JP voiceovers. Pretty interesting.
Game is great overall so far. The school elements from persona and trails of cold steel aren't as expansive but it works well as a structure for the story. Biggest complaint is that the monthly conflict could better highlight the individual characters involved.

This game is seriously SLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMIN'! By far the best game on Switch for me. I played it the entire day yesterday and today. Everything about it is just amazing. So much potential replay value, great characters, voice acting, fabulous music, interesting story and world. This is how a 10/10 game looks like.
p.s. This is probably a silly question but the art book contains a fuck ton of spoilers, doesn't it? I never look through those for RPGs because most of them show pivotal moments in the plot or the best scenes (good example FF Type-0).

Prologes do that. Monthly missions just show you how things let up to war. Oh no spoilers war happens in a FE game? No way!

Chris Niosi, the current voice actor for male Byleth in English, will be replaced in both Three Houses and Heroes in the wake of news of his mistreatment and abuse of numerous former friends and partners.
Niosi’s role in the game was revealed shortly before release, and as Go Nintendo has covered, people familiar with Niosi were unhappy. It has since come out – by Niosi’s own admittance – that he has a history of being abusive, and of mistreating friends and partners.
Niosi has posted a series of lengthy confessional apologies to his Tumblr, detailing his position and apologising to those he has wronged (content warning: the specifics of his mistreatment of women he has dated are detailed in these posts).

Anyone else think this game is somewhat easy, even on hard? The mock battle was the hardest battle thus far, and that's fairly early on... does the game post timeskip get significantly harder?

With a bunch of different characters after Chapter 7. I wish the game gave you more of a heads-up.
Oh, yes.

Definitely. Though we do need Lunatic difficulty for the next playthrough, and that will be released later in a patch.

Is there a way to overlap an enemies movement range when selecting multiple enemies like the 3DS games?
Like how if you selected multiple enemies in Awakening, Fates or Conquest it would have a different shade or color showing each individual enemies movement and attack range.

So far the only dude that has given me some trouble has been this guy.
Mid game spoilers images
AND that is only because I never use the guys that I am meant to protect and didn't take my magic ( girl in my avatar) goddess with me.
Also I wish the screenshots were at 1080p but apparently it is running at 720p even while docked?

He's an idiot who broke NDA because he was sooo excited that he could possibly voice his character in Smash Bros. so he told people he was voicing him in this game. Now the only Smash thing people will remember him by are his shitty unfunny flash animations years ago. How he managed to get this far in the voice acting industry is beyond me.

There's just one color for selecting individual enemies. Or hit ZR to highlight all enemy danger areas in purple.

Fire Emblem: Three Houses tops the UK charts, outperforms Fire Emblem Awakening and Fates
Early reports are in for Fire Emblem: Three Houses’ debut sales in the UK. In its first week, the game managed to top the charts. We’re also hearing that it sold nearly double the launch sales of Fire Emblem Awakening. On top of that, it had more than double the combined sales of the first two...

Jk, they are all great, all 3 houses have great characters.
Also, a question. How do you level up healers effectively? All my fighters are lvl 10+ (some are 15) but I am struggling to get my healers to lvl 5 and above.

20 hours in. Chapter 9. How many chapters? Loving the game so much. Just wish it ran better. Yeah, yeah, its on switch, but a smooth framerate at this resolution shouldn't be that hard.

This is my first Fire Emblem game and so far it's been pretty good. I'm only a few hours in, but the writing and characters are great. What really got me though was the combat. I play a lot of skirmish table top games like Mordheim and Necromunda, so of course I went hard/classic. I'm getting the same vibe, agonizing over each move, minimizing risk, it's great.
The instructor/class idea worked better than I thought. Neat way of contextualizing stat progression and I appreciate getting to know the characters because of it.
Personally, I'd like to see them implement an injury system of some kind instead of just binary dead/alive (although not sure how that would vibe with their tone). In games like Necromunda losing a character in combat results in a roll on the injury table. If they're lucky they get out with just scars, most the time it results in permanent injuries like missing an arm/eye/leg, worst roll is death. Can't get the same injury twice, each time moving you closer to death.

For whatever reason, I never played Fire Emblem. I’m a huge RPG fan, though. Can I jump in without having played others in the series?

Most games in the series are connected to each other in a sequel by a couple of years then it may have another that takes place thousands of years later. This one doesn't fall into any previous game timeline from what I can tell.
Fódlan
Fódlan (フォドラ, Fodra) is a continent and the setting of Fire Emblem: Three Houses and Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes. See also: Fódlan timeline Fódlan's recorded history begins 41 years before the founding of the Adrestian Empire, with the appearance of Saint Seiros in the Enbarr region...

Absolutely. Treat this game like you would Final Fantasy. Most of the games are standalone or only have very tentative connections to previous titles that you can freely ignore and not hinder your enjoyment.

I don’t even care about the stats, I just raise the support level to B and they come knocking, asking to join my house.

Use black magic or use weapons.
If that isn't enough after a while you can fight as many times without wasting time as well.
Students can only be recruited based on stats though? Hell you can miss supports apparently. I know I missed two.

Decided to stick with it and it's finally clicking with me. Still not a fan of every character, but the story so far has just enough hooks in me to keep me playing.
I honestly expected to hate the school stuff, but it feels like a nice change of pace between the fighting.

Played for about 30 hours or so. A few hours into the second part now.
Pretty good so far. Some stuff I honestly wasn't expecting.
I don't really like the way teaching is handled though. Raising stats is a chore.
Also I feel like support events could be handled better. 90% of the time I can't even raise them any higher because the game won't let me. Then there are things like support events for students of other classes where they talk to you as though you are their teacher. Would've been better to not let you view their events until they join your class.

Pretty sure they can be recruited outside stats as well. I recruited Lysithea without having the stats. Just raised my support level with her, and she came asking to join my class without me having to recruit her.

Healing gives minimal xp though. I was thinking about putting them on the front for a while to at least get them to lvl 10 like the rest, the fact that you can fight for free is really nice.

Wait -- I must have missed something. How do I build support with other houses members without recruiting them first? Just inviting them to do stuff instead of my house people? Will that work?
