Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes features many of the same characters from the hit Fire Emblem: Three Houses RPG. However, this is a new story with new possibilities where you no longer play as Byleth. Much like Three Houses, this Warriors game has you choose which group of people you want to align yourself with. This will allow you to get to know these characters better and will unlock unique dialogue specific to them. Here are all of the characters we know of so far.
WARNING: There are some spoilers from the original Fire Emblem: Three Houses on this page as well as spoilers for Three Hopes. If you don't want character info or plot points spoiled for you, read no further.
Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes — Three paths
One of the big draws in the original Fire Emblem: Three Houses RPG was the replay value provided by the three different paths you could take. Going along with this same energy, the Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes spin-off allows players to align with one of three groups:
- Scarlet Blaze path: Align with Edelgard and her followers in the Adrestian Empire.
- Azure Gleam path: Follow Dimitiri and his allies in the Holy Kingdom of Faerghus.
- Golden Wildfire path: Join Claude and the rest of his Leicester Alliance friends.
Regardless of which path you choose, you'll always be able to play as Shez and have Byleth as your antagonist.
This spinoff is bigger than the original Three Houses game, requiring 13.4GB of space. This hopefully means there's a lot of content to get through. Additionally, you'll want to make sure you have enough room on your best microSD card.
