History YMMV / FireEmblemThreeHouses

* OlderThanTheyThink: [[https://twitter.com/_Jamalex/status/1006589825275723776 There has been some surprise]] at the fact that the Lords of ''Three Houses'' have surnames. While it ''is'' true that last names are a rarity in ''Fire Emblem'', this game is far from the first to feature them, with the short list including [[spoiler:Albein]] [[VideoGame/FireEmblemGaiden Alm]] [[spoiler:Rudolf II]], [[spoiler:Anthiese Lima]] (aka [[VideoGame/FireEmblemGaiden Celica]]), [[VideoGame/FireEmblemGenealogyOfTheHolyWar Seliph Baldos Chalphy, Leif Faris Claus]], [[VideoGame/FireEmblemTheBlazingBlade the Reed family (Brendan and sons Lloyd & Linus)]], [[VideoGame/FireEmblemPathOfRadiance Elincia Ridell Crimea, Jill Fizzart (and her father Shiharam), and Sanaki Kirsch Altina]]. Even [[VideoGame/FireEmblemShadowDragonAndTheBladeOfLight Marth]] had the family name "Lowell" in the OVA from [[TheNineties 1996]], though that isn't canon to the games' continuity.
* WinBackTheCrowd: Gameplay-wise, fans who were less than thrilled about the series being confined to handhelds from ''Shadow Dragon'' to ''Shadows of Valentia'' were very happy to see that ''Three Houses'' seemingly returns the epic scale of the much-beloved [[VideoGame/FireEmblemPathOfRadiance Tellius]] [[VideoGame/FireEmblemRadiantDawn installments]]. That the game has open world elements building off both the My Castle feature in ''Fates'' and the fully modeled 3D dungeons of ''[=SoV=]'' has also been positively received.

%%* {{Narm}}: ''Three Houses'' sounds about as far from the title of an epic fantasy game as you can possibly get.

* {{Narm}}: ''Three Houses'' sounds about as far from the title of an epic fantasy game as you can possibly get. The fact that it bears a certain similarity to Nintendo Treehouse, [[NeverLiveItDown infamous for their handling of various localizations]] (particularly ''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemFates Fates]]''), has likewise earned the title some ridicule.

** Fans who weren't too thrilled with the {{Fanservice}}-laden designs of ''Fates'' appreciated that the first trailer showed off characters with rather modest designs instead, much like ''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemGaiden Shadows of Valentia]]'' before it.

* MemeticMutation: Edelgard's speech on how the crests are ruining the world has generated some humorous parodies during pre-release, ranging from parodying one of [[Franchise/StarWars Anakin]]'s lines as "From my point of view, the crests are all evil!", to Edelgard expressing anger at the popular toothpaste brand Crest.

** The concept of having three factions whose respective colors are [[ChromaticArrangement red, blue, and yellow]] has earned comparisons to Teams Valor, Mystic, and Instinct from ''VideoGame/PokemonGO''. And although their colors don't match up, the three main characters also resemble the three leaders: Claude resembles Candela as they are both brown-skinned, short-haired individuals, Dimitri resembles Spark as they are both light-skinned and blonde, and Edelgard resembles Blanche as they both have silver-blonde hair.

* InternetBackdraft: Downplayed. While the game has been receiving positive hype from old and new fans alike, there are many fans complaining about the title ''"Three Houses"'', calling it narmy.

** Edelgard's appearance as a young, attractive royal girl with white hair, pale skin, and purple eyes has caused several fans to compare her to [[Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire Daenerys Targaryen]]. It also should be noted that she wears black and red, which are the colors of the Targaryen dynasty.
