Fire Emblem: Three Houses released to critical praise back in July, but the game's initial launch wasn't the complete package, as Nintendo promised both free and paid DLC updates to come in the future. Some content, such as the loungewear costumes and Maddening difficulty level have released in the time since then, but there's still further content in the pipeline. Now, fans might have a better idea of just what they'll be getting in the game, as the Japanese Famitsu guidebook, released today, has an entire page dedicated to the upcoming additions in both Wave 3 and Wave 4 of Three Houses's DLC.

According to the book, the following will be added to the game. They're contained within the spoiler tag, as the details may be considered as minor spoilers. They have been translated courtesy of Fire Emblem fansite, Serensforest.

Anna is always paid DLC. Guess that's the irony of it. lol

Someone call me when any one of the smash bros characters make it.

Oh, more DLC? Had to intentionally avoid reading this article due to spoilers. I have yet to play this game.
Here's hoping that the DLC update doesn't have any significant impact on the 60FPS mod performance-wise.
Has anyone tried this out to check and confirm whether the 60FPS mod still works with the newest DLC releases?

didn't an update censor some of the dialogue too?

The update that replaced M!Byleth's voice actor also changed afaik, a single line of dialogue in Bernadetta's support.

It honestly made the support sound more awkward...and kinda ominous in a bad way... The original was much better at portraying how "evil" you're supposed to see the father as.
Just a single line that gave you exactly the info you needed for backstory. It's not make or break, "nintendo has ruined it! it's treehouse fates all over again!" level, but it's just very very odd, and I don't know why they did it. The overall translation was great, too.

Anna want your money, what so irony?

HOLY FUCK THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE EVER SEEN ANYONE HAVE THE SAME NAME AS ME

IT'S A MAN WHAT THE FUCK

It's technically reverse censorship lol
Nintendo actually changed the dialgoue to make it more similiar to the japanese one.
(The real reason is probably they didn't want to give Maid outfit to a person who was supposed to be a "good submissive wife")

Paralogues for Anna and Jeritza.

Maid and Butler battalions.

These seem like things that should have been in the game when it released, and

Spoiler: SPOILERS

making Jeritza playable as free DLC then making his paralogue paid DLC makes that even worse.

 

[solveig]

if claude is not romanceable for male byleth in upcoming dlcs then what’s the point

 

[T-hug]

Just started the game today, was a toss up between this or Astral Chain.

 

[THYPLEX]

I'm only interested in the abyss mode , i can't wait !

Why?

Why?

Spoiler: SPOILERS

The characters are already in the game, and on some routes, it seems to make sense for Jeritza to join as a playable character, but he does not.
Also, if I am not misunderstanding, and they are adding paralogues for Anna and Jeritza, not a Anna and Jeritza paralogue, why would he and his paralogue be separated into free and paid DLC?

As for the costumes, while Three Houses fixed the biggest problem that Fates had aside from its story (which was being split into multiple games), they took a big step backwards with costumes.
Fates had a lot to choose from without DLC, but Three Houses lacks alternate costumes without DLC, and so far, the DLC for Three Houses has not helped with that either.
The two DLCs so far have only added one outfit and glasses for Byleth, and loungewear for everyone.
It is not really a problem I suppose, especially when compared to the characters, but it is still not nice to see them adding features through DLC that were in recent games in the series without DLC.

You got it wrong.
They're adding a Anna and Jeritza paralogue not two paralogues with each character.

Was it officially clarified somewhere?

 

[Immortallix]
