Eh, I didn't think it was too bad. I consider my "threshold of bs" has come
way down over the years and for the most part I liked
Three Houses characters, even if some lean too much into their gimmick. (Note: I went Blue Lions route and liked it OK, though I didn't finish the playthru). As a comparison point,
from what I experienced of Xenoblade Chronicles, I don't consider the 3H cast as any "worse" than that crew.
I def consider them better written then many of the characters of FE past tho, I don't know how that could be debated tbh. I'm thinking of for instance the majority of characters from FE7, 8 and Awakening (I bring those up since I haven't played the other titles) where much less attention is given to the backstory and motivations of the majority of the cast.
That said, perhaps the lack of fleshing-out of those characters from those earlier entries ends up a net positive? Fires up the imagination to fill in the blanks vs well-intentioned but ultimately poor characterization?
Anyway, I am tempted to at least check out the demo and I'm diggin the overall production aspect of
Three Hopes. Brief experiences w/ the og FW, HW and
Age of Calamity just haven't clicked w/ me gameplay-wise tho.
