These seem to be missing from the trailer. I love the Black Eagles for Petra, Dorothea, Caspar, and of course, Bernie. Black Eagles remain my favourite house even though my canon playthrough is to turn my back on Edelgard. Though the main story is propelled by the leaders of the titular Three Houses, what makes FE3H so great is the depth the other students bring to proceedings.

Will we see a similar skirmish between the three houses here, albeit one less fatal than the final hours of Three Houses? Will Byleth once again choose a house, or post-Garreg Mach is she free to wander between all three? ‘If it’s set in the time skip, why is Byleth there?’ is a question I couldn’t offer the slightest answer to right now. That means it's before Edelgard breaks away from the school completely, but after she has set her mind on doing it. It appears, based on the character designs we see in the trailer, that Warriors is set in between the timeskip that takes place in Three Houses. This offers greater stakes - you will often find yourself coming up against, and eventually killing, your former allies. In the base game, you play as Byleth and choose your house early on, but can mix the house up by recruiting, then after a time skip, can either remain with your chosen house come what may, or if you chose Black Eagles, can turn your back on it in and side with Garreg Mach instead. We see Dimitri clash with Edelgard at one point, but since you can play as both, it's unclear what that means for the wider story. The first approach gives you more control over the narrative you want to explore in a more active, fluid sense, while the latter essentially lets you enjoy three playthroughs Rashomon-style. We're shown passages where you play Edelgard, Dimitri, and Claude, suggesting you will either hop between houses and advance the story of each until they land on a collision course, or you select one house and play their story, just as in the base game.

But hopefully Three Hopes can learn from Strikers and can carry the fantastic narratives of Three Houses into the musou world. Even the original Fire Emblem Warriors follows this pattern. Musou games ask you to worry about slashing down hordes of enemies in front of you rather than thinking too hard about the narrative. Of course, Strikers is something of an exception to the rule. Then again, that's what Persona 5 Strikers is, and it managed to supersede the storytelling of the base game, as well as managing to provide just as much closure as a traditional sequel could have hoped for. That means the game will not be a true sequel, but instead a musou spin-off.
There was a collective intake of excited breath when the Direct opened with Three Houses iconography, only for a deflated sigh to ring out when Fire Emblem Warriors appeared on the screen.
The response to Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes has been mixed.
