Fire Emblem: Three Houses is getting a DLC expansion that adds a fourth house



Get ready for more Fire Emblem, because today's Smash reveal for Byleth wasn't the only big news for the series. Hidden below Garreg Mach is a new, fourth house, called Ashen Wolves. It has an entire new set of students, such as Balthus, Hapi, Yuri, and Constance. This side story will be available in the upcoming DLC for the game, called Cindered Shadows, which launches February 13th as part of Fire Emblem: Three Houses' Expansion Pass.

Oh my god, who the heck cares? At this rate, there will be more fire emblem characters and games than there was Dynasty Warriors titles. At least one didn't have to be ass deep in lore to have fun with a Dynasty game, typically.

It's like unless you know to attack the left nipple ring of a boss with an axe in fire emblem, you were as good as losing all your best characters on its perma death mechanic.
Don't blame yourself, you couldn't see the nipple ring. It was censored by Nintendo.

The Japanese title makes more sense now, the English should've been "Fire Emblem: Four Seasons".

"The Japanese title of Fire Emblem: Three Houses is 風花雪月 Fuuka Setsugetsu. If the kanjis are flipped over to 雪月風花 it is usually used to describe the four seasonal beauties (Snow, Moon, Wind, Flower)"

Source and more elaboration here:

Nope.
There are 4 routes in the base game:
Silver Snow (Black Eagles)
Azure Moon (Blue Lions)
Verdant Wind (Golden Deer)
Crimson Flower (Black Eagles)

Played thru the game once with that blue guy. My least fav. FE game. This harry potter crap was annoying as fck. The fact, that it sold so well, will probably make me skip future entrys of the series.

I mean, one of the things I liked most was the choice you got when playing. If you dislike the monastery, you can skip it entirely and still have a hugely enjoyable experience. You only really lose out on a bit of optional character development.

I can't wait to see how this will relate to the stories of the other three... They all succeed only due to the presence of Byleth, so... What will happen to the lords? Who will die? Is this the fabled "everyone lives" route?!

I'm ready. Bring it on.
i'm assuming nintendo will choose a cannon ending path from the now 5 routes. My assumption is black eagles route if you refuse edelgards offer.

you literally picked one of the worst routes. i suggest skipping the exploration phases (just do seminars and battles) until part two and then more or less continue that trend into the rest but put more effort into byleths training. part one is just a tutorial and it's built in such a way you can greatly avoid interaction with it. Golden deer or saying no to edelgard on black eagle routes were my 2 faves

Is the Romance of Three Kingdoms just became the Romance of four Kingdoms?

Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition.

More to the point, while Smash disappointed me (I knew they would add Byleth eventually) this is nice because FE:3H is good and this is an excuse for me to revisit it.

this is great, too bad it is not separate, so you must buy all the dlc together to play this,
but, for 25 euro, it's okay I guess.
I'm excited to see how this "side story" goes, and how long in terms of chapters it'll be?
the shortest chapters path is 18 (BE: CF)
and the longest path is: 22 (GD: VW) & 22 (BL: AM)
so I hope CS falls into the range of 18 - 22 chapters?
tho this might not be possible as this side story/path is pre free/war phase, so long as long as a wind chapters path would be?
chapter 1 - 12?

im also excited to see how a Byleth (M) X Yuri will be. ahahah
