Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes (Japanese: ファイアーエムブレム無双 風花雪月 Fire Emblem Unrivaled: Wind, Flower, Snow, Moon) is a Fire Emblem series game announced in the February 2022 Nintendo Direct, and released worldwide on June 24, 2022. Three Hopes is a crossover between the Fire Emblem series and the Dynasty Warriors series; it is a successor to Fire Emblem Warriors—the previous crossover with Dynasty Warriors—and is based in the setting of Fire Emblem: Three Houses.
Plot
This section has been marked as a stub. Please help improve the page by adding information.
Three Hopes takes place in an alternate continuity in relation to Three Houses, where Byleth has never joined the Academy and this time has an antagonistic role, called solely as the "Ashen Demon" by most characters.
Prior to the game's story, Shez is defeated by Byleth in combat and nearly killed, only to be saved by Arval. Shez then wanders the continent to train for a rematch. They eventually run into some students in the forest. They help the students to defeat the bandits they were chased by, and are offered to visit the students' camp. There, Alois asks them to return to Garreg Mach Monastery alongside him and the students and faculty members. At the monastery, Shez is allowed to join one of the academy's three houses. The house Shez chooses determines how the story will continue:
Black Eagles and Scarlet Blaze
After Shez chooses the Black Eagles, Jeritza is assigned their professor. In a cutscene, Edelgard is seen talking to Jeritza, and shortly after, the class departs for their next mission. Their mission is to hunt down the remains of the bandit group Kostas was leading. Upon inspecting the bandits' hideout, they find Monica locked in a cell in the basement, and free her. Shez and their classmates then have to protect Monica against Kronya's forces who attempt to stop them from leaving. After the mission is concluded, Monica reveals that she has been kidnapped by the librarian Tomas. Because of this, the Knights of Seiros attempt to capture Solon, but Tomas shapeshifts, reveals himself to be Solon, and escapes. Shez, who has witnessed the events, questions whether their own powers are the result of the same magic Solon was using.
In response to Tomas's disappearance, Edelgard and Hubert decide to use the opportunity and seize control of the Adrestian Empire by persuading archbishop Rhea to send the Knights of Seiros to aid them in their cause by revealing that regent Arundel is in truth also a part of the same group Solon was a part of. With the aid of the Knights of Seiros as well as the imperial ministers Count Bergliez and Count Hevring, they can defeat Arundel who then shapeshifts into Thales and disappears, just like Solon did before.
The game then skips two years ahead. In these two years, Rhea was forced to close the Officer's Academy due to all three nations of Fódlan being involved in their own political problems, and the three former house leaders have assumed the leadership of their respective countries.
Edelgard declares war on the Church of Seiros, claiming it to be the reason for the struggles of her Empire. With the support of Houses Gloucester and Phlegethon of the Leicester Alliance, they march to Garreg Mach Monastery and force the archbishop and her knights to escape to the Holy Kingdom of Fearghus.
Gameplay
Like its predecessor the game features feature hack and slash gameplay of a single player against many enemy units at once in real time, as is typical of Dynasty Warriors crossovers. Generally, routing the enemy is not the goal, and win conditions are often things like capturing a number of enemy fortresses or defeating one or more enemy commanders, among other objectives.
