I feel the game is aboutand looking at the current story becausea retelling of Three Houses when Shez survives and meets the Lords instead of Byleth. In the Three Houses timeline he was killed by BylethByleth doesn't become a professor, Jeritza is able to become one. Which was needed to save Monica from TWSITD. Meaning the whole of Remire Village doesn't happen I guess
Haven't finished the demo yet so part of this is also speculation
Anyway, the game has exceeded my expectations for now and I am def getting it including the Collectors Edition. I like Shez (Add Shez to Smash Bros pls.) also more than Byleth but perhaps that is because of the fact they have more personality. Byleth speaking in this game is also amazing. I hope they do a late update for FE3H with some characters to add to that game as well (probably not) .
Last thing: the music is amazing.
it can't just be a simple retelling/what if scenario though, can it? Because (as far as I recall, correct me if I'm wrong) Byleth wasn't super powerful at this point in the original game and wasn't ever known as the Ashen Demon either, so whatever fork in the timeline we're looking at, it would've happened earlier, right?
