I was watching Cohh the first weekend this came out and on the second weekend it was released I decided to buy it as my first Fire Emblem game. I logged 40 hours over 3 days. Reminds me of when I was young playing Final Fantasy Tactics for the first time.
So FE7 was my favorite strategy game ever until i discovered FFT (late). FFT was my favorite game ever until Witcher 3. But all 4 of these games are absolutely incredible
DazeDemon so you’re just like me, we both were lil bean squats enjoying ourselves on the gba playing a franchise no one else knew about for nearly a decade. Then one day all the girls are talking about fire emblem awakening in high school and suddenly you become the go to for everyone who got interested in the series.
Always nice when Cohh tries something kind of out of his normal path and ends up loving it. Oh... but it did have fishing so maybe not entirely out of his usual path then. 😎
The series as a whole is amazing but 3 houses seems like it took everything that had been good about Fire Emblem as a whole and revved it up to 100. Haven't played the game myself since I dont own a switch but watching him play the game you can tell he was enjoying the hell out of it. I swear my phone was going off like crazy seeing that he uploaded one after the other with playing this game. Glad to see he enjoyed it and the game is doing so well
Jeffrey Thacker bro definitely save up and get it’s a must buy I’ve already poured over 125 hours into this game and I’m still on my 2nd route there is 4 routes In this game. It’s my first FE game and it was money well spend
I really dont mind about the houses But the difficulty its not the same like classic FE series. I hope lunatic will fill the void, and I really hope we have lunatic reverse difficulty so that i can watch these streamers go insane
Nara Narada yeah its kinda easy. Only mission that i found really challenging was black eagle edelgard route final mission. Going to wait for lunatic before doing golden deer.
Uh... I feel like "took everything about X and revved it up to 100" shouldn't just a be a generic, universal phrase to say something is good, because it doesn't fit in most cases especially here. What makes three houses great is all of the new things. The things that made Fire Emblem good in previous games like map design and strategy at all is very neutered and unbalanced.
Cohh, you have no idea how happy this made me. As a long time veteran of this series, Three Houses did some very different things from previous games, but I'm so happy they did. There is a level of depth that was explored in this game that really hasn't happened (Except for Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn. The only other main console installments). Fire Emblem as a series is very story/character driven and Three Houses just did a fantastic job. I can only hope that future games will be just like this, if not better.
*Only other main console instalments released in english* . The first 2 games released on NES and games 3-5 released on SNES. If you're being thorough...
Been looking forward to this one, and glad to see Cohh enjoyed it as much as he did. Only 10 hours in myself, so haven't been able to watch him streaming
Cause people are finally figuring out that most western games are hot steaming piles of garbage. People can be like oh these anine games are stupid all they want but one "anime game" has a better story than 50 western games combined
"That process repeated itself the next day.... and the following twelve" You can see the resignation on face where he knows "I might have a problem with these anime games" (Persona 5, Danganronpa) (Please note I love anime games and I can't wait for Cohh to play Ace Attorney)
No one should be ashamed or nervous about liking a game because “it’s too anime” that just says you haven’t seen the incredible storytelling anime can deliver.
Back in 2003 a kid sitting next to me was playing a game on his GBC on the schoolbus and I thought it looked interesting so I bought it. I almost definitely would never have heard of the game otherwise. At the time, FE7 and pokemon gold were my 2 favorite games ever. Flash forward almost 10 years later and I started hearing some news about how one of my favorite game series ever almost was cancelled but suddenly became Nintendo's surprise breakout IP. SO glad to see all these people discovering this incredible series. I hope it never gets close to cancellation again
If you guys liked Awakening so much you better play Echoes Its much better and every character is interesting compared to awakening where only the main characters are cool. Awakening is one of the weaker games of the Franchise along with Fates.
NicoQwerty Gaming Bad Take, there is a reason Awakening is one of the best selling games in the franchise. Echos story is great but it’s maps are garbage with a stupid high encounter rate that makes gameplay obnoxious
Cohh is one of the best streamers to watch FE 3H. Let me explain why: a lot of streamers out there play on Casual mode, eliminating one of FE's strengths which is conflict of decision-making and planning out your next move. They also more often than not nitpick the story and the characters all because they're "weeb" or "anime", like western writing is any better. They also complain that the monastery bit is boring; you even have streamers who never even touch the Saint Statues in their playthrough. I like how Cohh takes his time getting to know the game even though he's played thousands at this point. There's lots of other streamers who assume they know everything, skip dialogue, and complain about how things don't make sense. Cohh doesn't do that and I appreciate him for that.
After you are done in September 7 Daemon x Machina comes put, check out the prologue of the game and if you like it, it is an anime style mecha action game ruclips.net/video/g1woDB-L5v4/видео.html
I'm so happy you fell in love with this series. Watching you go from skeptical and making fun of "doodoo" to falling in love with him so hard, made me smile. I've loved this game for years, and I love seeing people fall in love with it as well. I hope if you play the other houses, you upload those as well!
This game was largely based on, I think, an older Fire Emblem game that was never released in English called "Genealogy of the Holy Wars", there's a fan translation out of it now, too. I played Genealogy before Three Houses and I like both and they each have their own merits, I think Genealogy is worth checking out though. It has some mechanics issues being a much older title but if you liked this, I think you would like Genealogy also.
Here's hoping for a Genealogy remake, just have to polish some of the clunky mechanics and the game is perfect. Just like what they did with Shadows of Valentia and Gaiden.
Watched your first stream of this game. I was interested in it, but really on the edge if it was worth buying or not. I have now put over 70 hours into this game and have loved every second of it. Picked Golden Deer and Claude is... quite the guy. Probably gonna play the next FE game when it comes out. I'm hooked.
Looking at some stats sites, the last game he went THIS hard on was...Divinity Original Sin 2? Others have gotten multiple all day streams, but none with 12 straight. Usually it's either a soft start or a soft finish. I'm pretty sure the only reason he didn't just go pure FE to the end is because he got a code sent to him right at the end :P
Just looked at the video, cause I wanted to see what some random youtubers say about FE Three Houses. Now I hear he did not just like it a lot, he also liked Divinity Original Sin 2?! I think I might just stay here and subscribe...
@@cartoonblankets9371 Edelgard is the 4th route. Rhea/the church is meant to be the default route, hence why you need a C rank with Edelgard to even choose her path.
This was my first ever FE game and i absolutely enjoyed it (cept the part where i mightve been underleveled and had no idea what i was doing). It toom me 40 hours and that was me trying to beat it as fast as possible. I give it a 9/10 it was just so amazing
I started watching you Cohh since around the time of Void Bastards and have lurked since then. You have in a short time supplanted you tubers and streamers I’ve watched for years and became my number one favorite person to watch and listen to. I didn’t watch your play through of FE three houses as I am about to play it, but i am excited that you love a game series I have played since a kid. Thanks for everything you do Cohh! P.S. finally got twitch prime so prime sub incoming :)
The 3 different play through only really starts are Part II of the story. I am only my 4th play through due to getting it a week before release. Pro tip - Make a second save after the first Edelgard choice moment. So you can do the Black Eagles play through twice without having to waste time in the beginning again.
I've finished Black Eagles and I'm on chapter 4 of Golden Deer, and I would say that this is only really half true. The completely correct part of your statement is that the beginning side-quests and main story maps are completely the same. However, the dialogue and house dynamics are very different, as well as the overall feel of the game. The Black Eagles responds to things in very different ways than the Golden Deer house, even at this early stage, and it is likewise clear that Claude has very different interests and motivations from Edelgard. The actual gameplay part is very similar, this is true, but the Golden Deer story is already shaping up to be very different in part 1 than the Black Eagles story, even though we've done the same side-quests and maps.
@@AvatarOfDiablo You might want to replay black eagles, get C+ support with edelgard, and talk to her during the month of chapter 11. There is a choice that is given if those conditions are met and it opens up big changes on the 2nd part of black eagles story. Like, really really big. Replaying black eagle twice through the monastery for both versions can be a drag, hence saving after unlocking the extra choices.
@@AvatarOfDiablo I don't know I'm on chapter 10 of the GD play through now. I do get the slight differences .. mainly for me Claude being in the story, lol. But I've had all the other characters {recruitable ones}, seen their interactions with one another, done their paralouges .. couples them and maxed our supports. Minus a view motivational changes, as per house you picked. To me part 1 seems very similar; too me. Part two is where EVERYTHING picks up and changes .. the BL side was like night and day ... the eagles play through on both parts was something else too well .... siding with her was less than I expected as I still have a ton of questions from that .. that will hopefully be answered with the story dlc .. but siding with the church was far more in depth story wise to me than the entire first part, lol. Plus you get your students able to train you! But I see you point and it's a valid one. I may just be a little meh to the first half playing through it 4 times now, lol.
@@nicholasbalser6901 Yeah, I finished my first playthrough in just under 30 hours on Edelgard's path and I've had to take my second playthrough much, much slower because it's really not fun playing the same beginning half of the story before getting to the new stuff. Maps are reused way too often as well, and it gets pretty boring especially with the massive amount of auxiliary battles you need to do to push your characters to the limit. First playthrough was an absolutely amazing experience though, I would just recommend that people hold off a bit so that it doesn't get too repetitive for them. I'll probably take a break from the game for a week or two before I start my third.
There's still so many people that underestimate the Switch. When it comes to a platform it shouldn't be all about the power or the gimmicks, it should be about the games, and the Switch has had so many amazing games as of late.
It shouldn't be about the gimmicks and yet the biggest selling point of the switch is the gimmick of being able to play handheld or docked. As it stands, the Switch isn't that good unless you want to play games that only exist on the Switch. If you can get it on something else, you should. The Switch just doesn't compare in power and has poor performance in comparison. I can agree that having a Switch is great if you like the exclusives.
Made In Heaven, imagine playing Fire Emblem on PC, ultra settings, 4K. A totally new experience. Just look at details on character models and the backgrounds, trees, bushes in a super low resolution right now
@@orbbb24 except it's not a gimmick... I absolutely love being able to take it on the go, on road trips, on planes, etc. I love being able to play on the couch and seamlessly transition to another room. I feel chained to a chair when I play on PC and honestly it keeps me from using it a lot of the time. Same but to a slightly lesser extent on my PS4. The Switch is *by far* my favorite of the 3 platforms
knowing cohhs average run time for his youtube vods he spent over 90 hours in this game... really happy he had an open mind and gave it a shot hopefully with the time he put in to playing the game and his following within the community attracts more people to give this game a chance and possibly fall in love with it as well as give the devs more enthusiasm and inspiration to create more whether its more in the fire emblem franchise or a whole new universe....
This was a fun playthrough to watch along. I'm excited to see him play through a lunatic or lunatic + run in the future. I think he'll enjoy the extra challenge even more. Even better a new house means more story :-)
It's been so long since i played that much in such a short time, in one week-end i had 30hours and i had finished the black eagles route, three days later and 30hours again, i had finished the golden deer, and now i'm doing the blue lions and damn i just can't stop, it's so fun and addicting.
this is by far my favourite game cohh has played, so many connections between npc and the way cohh unicly gets emotionally attached to the npc makes them look like real people and then its even more amazing, ive never been happier watching npc talking to each other ever and I'm greatfull for this new perspective cohh has taught me
Glad you enjoyed the game! Sadly, the hard mode in this one in particular was much easier than the hard modes of previous Fire Emblem games. It did not feel challenging for veterans of the franchise like me, but thankfully they'll release Lunatic and Infernal difficulty for free in an update, which should fix that.
My favorite streamers already playing their NG+ runs and I'm still on month 11 of my first 60 hours in. I wish I wasn't so damn slow!! lol I still can't believe Cohh loved the game this much, I love how this game blew up here in the west. Sadly I hear it might not be doing as well as they usually do in Japan. But that's just physical sales and the best deal by far was buying it digitally with the vouchers. We'll see when Nintendo releases the numbers. I can say this is one of my favorite games on the Switch hands down, up there with BotW, Xenoblade 2, and Mario Odyssey. This game is going to cement Fire Emblem as a flagship Nintendo franchise and I can't be happier. I just hope they get better at making the game look more visually appealing as that's universally one of the biggest downsides. I personally don't mind, I love the character models a ton. They look amazing albeit a bit stiff, I believe they can do better with more time and talent. Back to my BE run!
Play at your own pace and soak in everything that you can, if that's what you enjoy. It's rare to find games like this these days. Hope you keep enjoying it o/ .
It is a fantastic game. I've been playing the FE games since the GBA releases, and this one was my main reason for buying a Switch. I'm playing Blue Lions for my first play through.
I watched this game on stream for about a week until I decided I needed to play it and just stopped watching. Picked up FE last night and already love it
Its really cool seeing cohn reviewing a game that he legit enjoyed a lot. His reviews are usually really positive so its hard to see what he actually enjoyed and what he just doesnt think its a bad game. On that note, im curious if he is gonna play older fire emblem games, I doubt they are as good as this one (because the series improved a shit ton gameplay wise) but story and character wise they are really good.
Many FE fans swear by Path of Radiance, also Awakening is pretty universally liked. Many liked FE: Echoes as well, the voice work in that game is especially loved. Those are good bets if you wanna go back and play some older FE games. The GBA FE games are also really good (a bit archaic) but that depends on how you can get your hands on titles that old.
@@BeowulfCav yeah I know, but Im interested in seeing if Cohn will try them and if he will like them as much (if not more) as three houses. I felt like three houses was made very well to attract players that werent fans of the series previously.
I think he might try them but considering the improvements they made to the series with this game he might enjoy them but not as much as three houses. I've enjoyed every fire emblem game I've ever played so I'd be interested also if he'd go back and see what the games were like before this one
I think he said that he might not because he heard this was one of the best games in a while, but thats just my memory, but he did say that he would check out the other paths later and play the next game when it releases.
@@darknesswave100 exactly why I was wondering that. While the other games are awesome and have some of my personal favorite characters of the whole series, the games themselves arent as big as three houses and for non fans or new fans they might not be as attractive.
I wasn't on the fence about the game, but it wasn't a definite first buy for my future switch until i watched this video. I played fire emblem awakening and fire emblem fates a long time ago and recently bought awakening and played it again (since i only borrowed the game and gave it back quite some time ago). I love that it seems like three houses is even more awesome then it's predecessors, can't wait to play it!
Each playthrough is about 30-90 hours (my first took 90). Plus the game has new game plus and a branching storyline with more than 3 distinct paths. 8 hours is a small piece of the game. Also if you've never played FE before, this game in particular feels like an anime cross between Harry Potter and Game of Thrones, with combat from Final Fantasy Tactics. It's fucking incredible.
it’s a must buy I’ve already poured over 125 hours into this game and I’m still on my 2nd route there is 4 routes In this game. It’s my first FE game and it was money well spent I love this game it’s so deep and huge in storytelling
As much as the game is behind almost everything on the technical side. GOD it was good ! Done the Blue Lion path and it was great. Wonderfull characters, soundtrack, voices, gameplay. Just excellent !
You know what makes Cohh the best? He doesn't care what genre it is, what the games looks like, he is always willing to give it a try, i wish i was more like him, trying to be anyway, lol.
I completely agree, it's been a great game. Still going through my first playthrough, but it's the best game I've played in a long time, and though I may not want to admit it, I think it might become my favorite JRPG of all time, though I'll have to wait and see how I feel after I end the game.
I have completely surrendered my loins to Fire Emblem: Three Houses. I literally don’t even acknowledge my girlfriend anymore at this point of night number 4 of not sleeping since I started playing.
BlackEagles! i was telling myself i don't need this game in my life ... now i am telling myself i don't want this game to end ... going for all 4 routes!
Same, I was close to skipping this game until I got some vouchers and said "hell with it". After seeing Cohh play and get engrossed I knew this was a winner. This game makes time melt away so make sure you keep an eye on the clock if you have work the next day lmao Now I know I have to play all 4 playthroughs as well!
ye mostly play evenings and some days i notices that i overplayed lool this hasn't happened in a while such a great game... And i mostly don't ever replay after 1 ending but the story and characters wayyy to good
I came back to watch this after Cohh quit Fire Emblem Engage in the tutorial. Such a shame, the combat is the best it's ever been. The story might not be great, but it's a fun time if you don't take it seriously.
I'm 130 hours into the game (on my second playthrough now). Absolutely having the time of my life, and I've seen nothing but praise for the game so far! What I find mildly sad tho, is a couple months down the line I'm sure we're gonna see critique videos about FE3H like what followed Oddesey and BotW. I'm not saying I'm anti-critique. No game is without its flaws, but in the case of Oddesey and BoTW, I've seen too many videos "critiqing" for the pure purpose of reeling in views and not to add to the conversation. So I'm hoping for the videos that follow FE3H to add to the conversation rather than leech.
I know your pain (or in this case joy) when you feel like you just don't want to play any other game. I put 50 hours into this game in the first three days. I haven't even touched my PC games or my PS4 in the month since this game released. It's basically all I think about. 85 hours on my first run (BE) and I am in chapter 4 of my Blue Lions run with two more routes after that. If this game is not in the discussion for Game of the Year, I am going to be very upset.
I had to stop watching most of your playthrough because I went Black Eagles and I didn't want to get spoiled too heavily on the Blue Lions route. I watched through most of the pre-timeskip stuff because I knew that it was fairly similar.
Same. I watched the pre-skip stuff bc I went Golden Deer. I really want to go back and watch his stuff after I finish Blue Lions bc I want to see how he learned the systems as a new player to the series
I mean that's a high bar but I would say it's in the same conversation. It kinda comes down to personal tastes. I like FE best and Persona slightly after personally
He said he is going to replay this in the future but i doubt he will do all routes. For now it is TBA, there are other games on his list to re-play with Divinity Original Sin 2 being at the top.
Fire emblem I'd great! It's got a little something for everyone. If you've never played final fantasy 14 by the way that's a great way to waste time and has a fantastic story. Thanks for the video!
It took this long for FE to get as good as FFT, and that's barely scratching what FFT accomplished 20+ years ago. there is a reason for all those FFT fanboys.
Just shows that people didn't like FE in the past and thought FFT was a lot better. Not a tough concept to understand. FFT was much better than FE at the time.
It’s because FFT has the FF brand name attached to it. I’m not saying it’s not a good game; it’s a great game, but I doubt it would receive as much attention in the west if it didn’t.
actually you can compare it, but not just one, but practically half of the entire FE game. there's magic system + exploration + rewind taken from Shadows of Valentia , my castle (base) taken from Fates, main characters with military academic background from Genealogy, branching/ multiple point of view taken from Blazing Blade, and other little tidbits from other game. They learned from past games, and refine it to become better than ever
My only problem with this game is that it was too damn easy. I played it on hard/classic. It being my first time playing any fire emblem game. I wanted more of a challenge. Maybe lunatic mode, when it comes out.
I was skeptical of this game at first. The only fire emblem game I've played before was 'Fates: Conquest', and that game quickly put me off with bizarre harem anime/visual novel bullshit ranging from your non-blood-related siblings hitting on you (even in the english translation, you can practically hear the 'oniichan's dribbling out of the speakers like rancid milk) to waking up your childhood friend by 'blowing gently' on the 3ds to the teenage children of all your varius party members appearing via time travel, and... yeah. The combat was fun, and one or two of the characters were good, but for me it was completely overwhelmed by the 'dating sim as written by space alien whose only reference for human relationships is a handful of sketchy anime dvds' aspect. So when I heard that three houses badically took place in a fantasy high school where you play a high school aged teacher, I immediately assumed the worst. Well, it turns out I needn't have feared, because there is next to no dating sim bs in this game. No weird touching or blowing on the system. No time travelling love children. You can't date any of the students at the academy. You can't date the other professors for that matter. You can't play matchmaker. At most there is the suggestion of a future marriage or relationship in the epilogue if you grow particularly close to one of a handful of characters in the latter half of the game, well after you've all left the school. Without all that distracting bs, the game's compelling combat, characters, narrative, and just the setting of the officer's academy in general have a chance to really shine. My only complaint is that the story hangs a lot of weight on some plot twists that you'll probably see coming a mile away, but even so I don't think that holds the overall experience back.
He only played one so far but said he's going to play the others at some point and stream them. I think he put somewhere between 70-90 hours if I recall
Are you going to finish the game? This game is like nier automata, in that you don't actually get the whole story if you only finish one route, though both games are entirely satisfying if you only do one route. Please finish the game.

Really glad cohh like the fire emblem I started with fire emblem awakening and loved it since. The game franchise grew since then!
Bought Awakening yesterday and put a couple of hours in. It's such an interesting game so far. Looking forward to getting sunk into it more.

If you guys liked Awakening so much you better play Echoes
Its much better and every character is interesting compared to awakening where only the main characters are cool. Awakening is one of the weaker games of the Franchise along with Fates.
NicoQwerty Gaming
Bad Take, there is a reason Awakening is one of the best selling games in the franchise. Echos story is great but it’s maps are garbage with a stupid high encounter rate that makes gameplay obnoxious
NicoQwerty Gaming "its mainstream so its obviously the worst in the series"

I like how Cohh takes his time getting to know the game even though he's played thousands at this point. There's lots of other streamers who assume they know everything, skip dialogue, and complain about how things don't make sense. Cohh doesn't do that and I appreciate him for that.
Yeah nobody said this
actually bought a switch just to play this.
no regrets
really cause i was thinking of getting a switch just for this
@@absurdturk was it worth it?
same totally worth it
After you are done in September 7 Daemon x Machina comes put, check out the prologue of the game and if you like it, it is an anime style mecha action game ruclips.net/video/g1woDB-L5v4/видео.html
Bought a switch for this game from watching your stuff. Thanks.
One of your favorite games of the year?
As a Fire Emblem veteran, I’m happy for you.
Welcome aboard!
3 playthroughs and 160h later... someone please send help i think i have a problem.
Did ya do all 4 routes? Causes that’ll add a “few” more hours 😂
@@IanJulian02 Yeah doing the 4th one now.
you don't have a problem, you have one more playthrough left keep going and godspeed
I'm so happy you fell in love with this series. Watching you go from skeptical and making fun of "doodoo" to falling in love with him so hard, made me smile. I've loved this game for years, and I love seeing people fall in love with it as well. I hope if you play the other houses, you upload those as well!
You have my thoughts
This game was largely based on, I think, an older Fire Emblem game that was never released in English called "Genealogy of the Holy Wars", there's a fan translation out of it now, too. I played Genealogy before Three Houses and I like both and they each have their own merits, I think Genealogy is worth checking out though. It has some mechanics issues being a much older title but if you liked this, I think you would like Genealogy also.
Here's hoping for a Genealogy remake, just have to polish some of the clunky mechanics and the game is perfect. Just like what they did with Shadows of Valentia and Gaiden.
Watched your first stream of this game. I was interested in it, but really on the edge if it was worth buying or not. I have now put over 70 hours into this game and have loved every second of it. Picked Golden Deer and Claude is... quite the guy. Probably gonna play the next FE game when it comes out. I'm hooked.
Is the last game he played like this Persona 5? Judgment? Meaning so engrossed in it and having fun playing it.
Looking at some stats sites, the last game he went THIS hard on was...Divinity Original Sin 2? Others have gotten multiple all day streams, but none with 12 straight. Usually it's either a soft start or a soft finish. I'm pretty sure the only reason he didn't just go pure FE to the end is because he got a code sent to him right at the end :P
id say dos 2 and witcher 3 probably
@@Fantom1080-u6o forgot about Witcher, the stat sites don't stretch back that far from what I am seeing. But yeah, that's another potential.
Just looked at the video, cause I wanted to see what some random youtubers say about FE Three Houses. Now I hear he did not just like it a lot, he also liked Divinity Original Sin 2?!
I think I might just stay here and subscribe...
That's how they get you I've played awakening fates and sacred stones.
I just managed to get my game from my friends.
Black Eagles next time, with the two routes. Hope you go Edelgard and Rhea pairings respectively for both their routes given their exclusive nature :D
Think he said that when he does the next run he plans on doing the Golden Deer house. Said on stream yesterday iirc.
spoiler free: Alternative Route is pretty fun. For me was even better then the normal Eagles Route.
So Reha is that 4th route? I just finished the black eagles and blue lions.
@@cartoonblankets9371 Edelgard is the 4th route. Rhea/the church is meant to be the default route, hence why you need a C rank with Edelgard to even choose her path.
@@krimzonstriker7534 oh I see thanks
*leans into mic* the darkness
Got me everytime Cohh!
1st Fire Emblem game. Completely absorbed me. This scratches that Tactics itch I've been waiting for. Golden deer.
my favorite playthrough he has done. its so touching
As an FE fan I love the 2D sprites for classes, I just wish they let you play the battles with the old sprites/animations
Actually they do.
@@geri911 how
This was my first ever FE game and i absolutely enjoyed it (cept the part where i mightve been underleveled and had no idea what i was doing). It toom me 40 hours and that was me trying to beat it as fast as possible. I give it a 9/10 it was just so amazing
I started watching you Cohh since around the time of Void Bastards and have lurked since then. You have in a short time supplanted you tubers and streamers I’ve watched for years and became my number one favorite person to watch and listen to. I didn’t watch your play through of FE three houses as I am about to play it, but i am excited that you love a game series I have played since a kid. Thanks for everything you do Cohh!
P.S. finally got twitch prime so prime sub incoming :)
The 3 different play through only really starts are Part II of the story. I am only my 4th play through due to getting it a week before release.
Pro tip - Make a second save after the first Edelgard choice moment. So you can do the Black Eagles play through twice without having to waste time in the beginning again.
I've finished Black Eagles and I'm on chapter 4 of Golden Deer, and I would say that this is only really half true. The completely correct part of your statement is that the beginning side-quests and main story maps are completely the same. However, the dialogue and house dynamics are very different, as well as the overall feel of the game. The Black Eagles responds to things in very different ways than the Golden Deer house, even at this early stage, and it is likewise clear that Claude has very different interests and motivations from Edelgard. The actual gameplay part is very similar, this is true, but the Golden Deer story is already shaping up to be very different in part 1 than the Black Eagles story, even though we've done the same side-quests and maps.
@@AvatarOfDiablo You might want to replay black eagles, get C+ support with edelgard, and talk to her during the month of chapter 11. There is a choice that is given if those conditions are met and it opens up big changes on the 2nd part of black eagles story. Like, really really big. Replaying black eagle twice through the monastery for both versions can be a drag, hence saving after unlocking the extra choices.
@@AvatarOfDiablo I don't know I'm on chapter 10 of the GD play through now. I do get the slight differences .. mainly for me Claude being in the story, lol. But I've had all the other characters {recruitable ones}, seen their interactions with one another, done their paralouges .. couples them and maxed our supports. Minus a view motivational changes, as per house you picked. To me part 1 seems very similar; too me. Part two is where EVERYTHING picks up and changes .. the BL side was like night and day ... the eagles play through on both parts was something else too well .... siding with her was less than I expected as I still have a ton of questions from that .. that will hopefully be answered with the story dlc .. but siding with the church was far more in depth story wise to me than the entire first part, lol. Plus you get your students able to train you!
But I see you point and it's a valid one. I may just be a little meh to the first half playing through it 4 times now, lol.
@@nicholasbalser6901 Yeah, I finished my first playthrough in just under 30 hours on Edelgard's path and I've had to take my second playthrough much, much slower because it's really not fun playing the same beginning half of the story before getting to the new stuff. Maps are reused way too often as well, and it gets pretty boring especially with the massive amount of auxiliary battles you need to do to push your characters to the limit.
First playthrough was an absolutely amazing experience though, I would just recommend that people hold off a bit so that it doesn't get too repetitive for them. I'll probably take a break from the game for a week or two before I start my third.
There's still so many people that underestimate the Switch. When it comes to a platform it shouldn't be all about the power or the gimmicks, it should be about the games, and the Switch has had so many amazing games as of late.
It shouldn't be about the gimmicks and yet the biggest selling point of the switch is the gimmick of being able to play handheld or docked. As it stands, the Switch isn't that good unless you want to play games that only exist on the Switch. If you can get it on something else, you should. The Switch just doesn't compare in power and has poor performance in comparison. I can agree that having a Switch is great if you like the exclusives.
Made In Heaven, imagine playing Fire Emblem on PC, ultra settings, 4K. A totally new experience. Just look at details on character models and the backgrounds, trees, bushes in a super low resolution right now
@@orbbb24 except it's not a gimmick... I absolutely love being able to take it on the go, on road trips, on planes, etc. I love being able to play on the couch and seamlessly transition to another room. I feel chained to a chair when I play on PC and honestly it keeps me from using it a lot of the time. Same but to a slightly lesser extent on my PS4. The Switch is *by far* my favorite of the 3 platforms
You are already a better player than the famous Fire Emblem youtubers. I really enjoy watching you.
Ain't that the truth.
Tetrix0 To be fair most people are better at fire emblem than Mangs
@@legendofsonic3979 the truth lol
tell that to omegaevolution lol
@@legendofsonic3979 Even a newcomer can get better than Mangs and this playthrough proved it
Finished your whole series of this game and I cannot wait for your next run (hoping Red House, but honestly I'll take anything!). Also the DLC is fun!
knowing cohhs average run time for his youtube vods he spent over 90 hours in this game... really happy he had an open mind and gave it a shot hopefully with the time he put in to playing the game and his following within the community attracts more people to give this game a chance and possibly fall in love with it as well as give the devs more enthusiasm and inspiration to create more whether its more in the fire emblem franchise or a whole new universe....
This was a fun playthrough to watch along. I'm excited to see him play through a lunatic or lunatic + run in the future. I think he'll enjoy the extra challenge even more. Even better a new house means more story :-)
It's been so long since i played that much in such a short time, in one week-end i had 30hours and i had finished the black eagles route, three days later and 30hours again, i had finished the golden deer, and now i'm doing the blue lions and damn i just can't stop, it's so fun and addicting.
this is by far my favourite game cohh has played, so many connections between npc and the way cohh unicly gets emotionally attached to the npc makes them look like real people and then its even more amazing, ive never been happier watching npc talking to each other ever and I'm greatfull for this new perspective cohh has taught me
Glad you enjoyed the game! Sadly, the hard mode in this one in particular was much easier than the hard modes of previous Fire Emblem games. It did not feel challenging for veterans of the franchise like me, but thankfully they'll release Lunatic and Infernal difficulty for free in an update, which should fix that.
It's either this or Sekiro for my personal goty. This has been an amazing year for gaming.
My favorite streamers already playing their NG+ runs and I'm still on month 11 of my first 60 hours in. I wish I wasn't so damn slow!! lol
I still can't believe Cohh loved the game this much, I love how this game blew up here in the west. Sadly I hear it might not be doing as well as they usually do in Japan. But that's just physical sales and the best deal by far was buying it digitally with the vouchers. We'll see when Nintendo releases the numbers. I can say this is one of my favorite games on the Switch hands down, up there with BotW, Xenoblade 2, and Mario Odyssey. This game is going to cement Fire Emblem as a flagship Nintendo franchise and I can't be happier. I just hope they get better at making the game look more visually appealing as that's universally one of the biggest downsides. I personally don't mind, I love the character models a ton. They look amazing albeit a bit stiff, I believe they can do better with more time and talent.
Back to my BE run!
Play at your own pace and soak in everything that you can, if that's what you enjoy. It's rare to find games like this these days. Hope you keep enjoying it o/ .
It is a fantastic game. I've been playing the FE games since the GBA releases, and this one was my main reason for buying a Switch. I'm playing Blue Lions for my first play through.
I watched this game on stream for about a week until I decided I needed to play it and just stopped watching. Picked up FE last night and already love it
Good thoughts video. I absolutely love this installment of fire emblem and have been absorbed in it. Highly recommend it for anyone
Love the thoughts videos, I trust and relate to them so much more than industry type "Reviews" 👍
loved your playthrough. can't wait to see you play the other routes someday.
Its really cool seeing cohn reviewing a game that he legit enjoyed a lot. His reviews are usually really positive so its hard to see what he actually enjoyed and what he just doesnt think its a bad game.
On that note, im curious if he is gonna play older fire emblem games, I doubt they are as good as this one (because the series improved a shit ton gameplay wise) but story and character wise they are really good.
Many FE fans swear by Path of Radiance, also Awakening is pretty universally liked. Many liked FE: Echoes as well, the voice work in that game is especially loved. Those are good bets if you wanna go back and play some older FE games. The GBA FE games are also really good (a bit archaic) but that depends on how you can get your hands on titles that old.
@@BeowulfCav yeah I know, but Im interested in seeing if Cohn will try them and if he will like them as much (if not more) as three houses.
I felt like three houses was made very well to attract players that werent fans of the series previously.
I think he might try them but considering the improvements they made to the series with this game he might enjoy them but not as much as three houses. I've enjoyed every fire emblem game I've ever played so I'd be interested also if he'd go back and see what the games were like before this one
I think he said that he might not because he heard this was one of the best games in a while, but thats just my memory, but he did say that he would check out the other paths later and play the next game when it releases.
@@darknesswave100 exactly why I was wondering that. While the other games are awesome and have some of my personal favorite characters of the whole series, the games themselves arent as big as three houses and for non fans or new fans they might not be as attractive.
This video makes me want to buy the game
I’m in the same boat. I play a ton of games but I haven’t been this addicted to one since the old mass effect trilogy.
I wasn't on the fence about the game, but it wasn't a definite first buy for my future switch until i watched this video. I played fire emblem awakening and fire emblem fates a long time ago and recently bought awakening and played it again (since i only borrowed the game and gave it back quite some time ago). I love that it seems like three houses is even more awesome then it's predecessors, can't wait to play it!
Don’t forget the absolute BANGERS of tracks on the ost. Seriously guys, this is persona5 levels of good music in this game!
Check out the very beginning of my fire emblem series ...don't go too far in. Only 8 hours or so. Wait what?
What are you confused about?
Each playthrough is about 30-90 hours (my first took 90). Plus the game has new game plus and a branching storyline with more than 3 distinct paths. 8 hours is a small piece of the game.
Also if you've never played FE before, this game in particular feels like an anime cross between Harry Potter and Game of Thrones, with combat from Final Fantasy Tactics. It's fucking incredible.
You had me at: 'There is fishing'
70 hrs in with Golden Deer, man Claude is a badass.
it’s a must buy I’ve already poured over 125 hours into this game and I’m still on my 2nd route there is 4 routes In this game. It’s my first FE game and it was money well spent I love this game it’s so deep and huge in storytelling
As much as the game is behind almost everything on the technical side. GOD it was good ! Done the Blue Lion path and it was great. Wonderfull characters, soundtrack, voices, gameplay. Just excellent !
You know what makes Cohh the best? He doesn't care what genre it is, what the games looks like, he is always willing to give it a try, i wish i was more like him, trying to be anyway, lol.
I mean this was clearly in his alley genre wise. He was even on an anime run with danganronpa and p5
I completely agree, it's been a great game. Still going through my first playthrough, but it's the best game I've played in a long time, and though I may not want to admit it, I think it might become my favorite JRPG of all time, though I'll have to wait and see how I feel after I end the game.
love the entire playthrough and I will look forward on the other playthrough down the line...
I love this game. It brought me back from myself losing my love for gaming
This game is too good. Wife and I got it on the release day and have together already put in a hundred hours and finished 2 1/2 routes.
Also Fire Emblem Warriors is just as good it mixes fire emblem strategy with the warriors series combat and perma death makes everything more intense
How come you don’t do a second play through Cohn? Also the new Heroes game that came out, I’m surprised 😢
Golden Deer 🦌 where y’all at?!
I really like how passionate your review was you got a sub from me
I have completely surrendered my loins to Fire Emblem: Three Houses. I literally don’t even acknowledge my girlfriend anymore at this point of night number 4 of not sleeping since I started playing.
BlackEagles! i was telling myself i don't need this game in my life ... now i am telling myself i don't want this game to end ... going for all 4 routes!
Same, I was close to skipping this game until I got some vouchers and said "hell with it". After seeing Cohh play and get engrossed I knew this was a winner. This game makes time melt away so make sure you keep an eye on the clock if you have work the next day lmao
Now I know I have to play all 4 playthroughs as well!
I thought I'd be done after one playthrough, but I've just started my second. Loving the NG+ and can't wait to see how the whole story unravels.
ye mostly play evenings and some days i notices that i overplayed lool this hasn't happened in a while such a great game... And i mostly don't ever replay after 1 ending but the story and characters wayyy to good
I came back to watch this after Cohh quit Fire Emblem Engage in the tutorial. Such a shame, the combat is the best it's ever been. The story might not be great, but it's a fun time if you don't take it seriously.
I'm 130 hours into the game (on my second playthrough now). Absolutely having the time of my life, and I've seen nothing but praise for the game so far!
What I find mildly sad tho, is a couple months down the line I'm sure we're gonna see critique videos about FE3H like what followed Oddesey and BotW.
I'm not saying I'm anti-critique. No game is without its flaws, but in the case of Oddesey and BoTW, I've seen too many videos "critiqing" for the pure purpose of reeling in views and not to add to the conversation.
So I'm hoping for the videos that follow FE3H to add to the conversation rather than leech.
I've played every FE that Nintendo released in Europe. And this one is great, but not the best imo. Great that you finally played one Cohh
You can see the emotions Cohh is trying to hold back while talking about thos game
*Saves all baits for multi-fish day.*
I wonder how that would look on-stream. 😂
Cohh tries all these Japanese games but ignored dragon quest 11 it hurts
Yes DQXI is also a must!!
I know your pain (or in this case joy) when you feel like you just don't want to play any other game. I put 50 hours into this game in the first three days. I haven't even touched my PC games or my PS4 in the month since this game released. It's basically all I think about. 85 hours on my first run (BE) and I am in chapter 4 of my Blue Lions run with two more routes after that. If this game is not in the discussion for Game of the Year, I am going to be very upset.
I had to stop watching most of your playthrough because I went Black Eagles and I didn't want to get spoiled too heavily on the Blue Lions route. I watched through most of the pre-timeskip stuff because I knew that it was fairly similar.
Same. I watched the pre-skip stuff bc I went Golden Deer. I really want to go back and watch his stuff after I finish Blue Lions bc I want to see how he learned the systems as a new player to the series
Second playthrough when? :D
I wonder how it personally ranks compared to other RPGs such as DOS2 or Persona 5.
I mean that's a high bar but I would say it's in the same conversation. It kinda comes down to personal tastes. I like FE best and Persona slightly after personally
Ah the fabled second playthrough might finally start sometime soon. Triangle Strategy really ignited his itch for this game again.
If you want to know what the game is like, just check out the first eight hours or so!
is cohh going to do the other routes?
He said he is going to replay this in the future but i doubt he will do all routes. For now it is TBA, there are other games on his list to re-play with Divinity Original Sin 2 being at the top.
Hopefully, he might space it out though. Or do it in his own time? Not sure.
he said that he is going to play them at a later date.
Kind of wish he'd play fates. I love three houses but Conquest is still by far my favorite.
I agree, but sadly getting a 3DS modded to be able to stream games is not just super expensive but also a hassle.
Fire emblem I'd great! It's got a little something for everyone.
If you've never played final fantasy 14 by the way that's a great way to waste time and has a fantastic story.
Thanks for the video!
The game looks amazing but unfortunately I don't have money for a Switch :(
tfw when the first 8 hours is less than 10% of Cohh’s playthrough
I really need to get myself a switch
Ingrid for life
Just gonna say an awful lot of people compare FE to FFT even though FE invented the genre.
It took this long for FE to get as good as FFT, and that's barely scratching what FFT accomplished 20+ years ago. there is a reason for all those FFT fanboys.
Disagree, I've tried FFT numerous times in the past but the gameplay just never captured me, I've always enjoyed FE a lot more.
Just shows that people didn't like FE in the past and thought FFT was a lot better. Not a tough concept to understand. FFT was much better than FE at the time.
So I don't get why there needs to be a competition narrative. The two series were never in direct competition except maybe on the GBA.
It’s because FFT has the FF brand name attached to it. I’m not saying it’s not a good game; it’s a great game, but I doubt it would receive as much attention in the west if it didn’t.
This isn’t like any other fire emblem, so comparing this to other fire emblem is unfair.
Pretty close to Genealogy imo, in everything but the Lifesim elements.
Mythos MUGEN eh after playing 3 of the paths I find this game to be similar in spirit to FE7 - in storyline only of course
actually you can compare it, but not just one, but practically half of the entire FE game. there's magic system + exploration + rewind taken from Shadows of Valentia , my castle (base) taken from Fates, main characters with military academic background from Genealogy, branching/ multiple point of view taken from Blazing Blade, and other little tidbits from other game.
They learned from past games, and refine it to become better than ever
Zuf Lis I agree
Zuf Lis still you have to admit compared to the older titles this is something on a whole new level
I completely agree with this
Probably my game of the year
Second playthrough with the Golden Deer??
Hopefully one day he comes back to this game for the other routes cause I loved this playthrough. Probably my favourite CohhCarnage playthrough
LOL anyone remember shining force? Also i went golden deer
trying to watch your RUclips vods and seeing that big 150 and regret showed its face
Description. (1:51)
My only problem with this game is that it was too damn easy. I played it on hard/classic. It being my first time playing any fire emblem game. I wanted more of a challenge. Maybe lunatic mode, when it comes out.
I was skeptical of this game at first. The only fire emblem game I've played before was 'Fates: Conquest', and that game quickly put me off with bizarre harem anime/visual novel bullshit ranging from your non-blood-related siblings hitting on you (even in the english translation, you can practically hear the 'oniichan's dribbling out of the speakers like rancid milk) to waking up your childhood friend by 'blowing gently' on the 3ds to the teenage children of all your varius party members appearing via time travel, and... yeah.
The combat was fun, and one or two of the characters were good, but for me it was completely overwhelmed by the 'dating sim as written by space alien whose only reference for human relationships is a handful of sketchy anime dvds' aspect.
So when I heard that three houses badically took place in a fantasy high school where you play a high school aged teacher, I immediately assumed the worst.
Well, it turns out I needn't have feared, because there is next to no dating sim bs in this game. No weird touching or blowing on the system. No time travelling love children. You can't date any of the students at the academy. You can't date the other professors for that matter. You can't play matchmaker. At most there is the suggestion of a future marriage or relationship in the epilogue if you grow particularly close to one of a handful of characters in the latter half of the game, well after you've all left the school.
Without all that distracting bs, the game's compelling combat, characters, narrative, and just the setting of the officer's academy in general have a chance to really shine. My only complaint is that the story hangs a lot of weight on some plot twists that you'll probably see coming a mile away, but even so I don't think that holds the overall experience back.
Did you play all 3 houses and how long to complete it all
He only played one so far but said he's going to play the others at some point and stream them. I think he put somewhere between 70-90 hours if I recall
Come out for PlayStation, please??
Its a first party nintendo release. Same as Mario and Zelda
Are you going to finish the game? This game is like nier automata, in that you don't actually get the whole story if you only finish one route, though both games are entirely satisfying if you only do one route. Please finish the game.
