This week’s issue of Famitsu has an update on Fire Emblem: Three Houses. In the magazine, the latest details on the game’s characters and gameplay systems are shared.

Here’s the full roundup, courtesy of BlackKite:

Protagonist (default: M ベレト Byleth, F ベレス Bylese?)

– You originally work as mercenary but your talents get noticed so you become a teacher in academy

– Your mom already passed away so you live with your dad who was leader of Knights of Seiros & now leads mercenary band

Geralt

– A legendary being who is also said to be the strongest knight in history

– Was summoned to Garreg Mach Monastery together with the protagonist, which makes him return to the Knights once again

Sothis

– A mysterious girl who looks young but speaks in an old manner

– She saves the protag at the fateful night

– She normally doesn’t show herself up and she speaks with telepathy into your head, so no one except you notice her

– She also lost the memory of her true self

Edelgard

– Princess of the Adrestian Empire who has been promised the position of the next empress

– A talented woman who has a cold & noble atmosphere

– Adrestian Empire has the longest history

– Many people here are more skilled in magic than weapons

Dimitri

– An eloquent youth who has good manners & embodied chivalry, but he somehow holds a shadow

– Perhaps because the Holy Kingdom of Faerghus is known for its knights, many of the students here are good at using spears

Claude

– A friendly youth whose smile fits him well

– Although he doesn’t seem like thinking of things too deeply, he has a sharp insight

– Compared to the other classes, Golden Deer has more commoner students

– Many of them are also good at using bows

Gameplay

– Game is confirmed having a time rewind system

– This is made possible by Sothis’ ability to turn back time

– The system is similar to FE Echoes where you can rewind per movement but the amount of usage allowed is also limited

– Terrain effects: Other than determining movement costs and evasion rates, some spots may have gimmicks such as healing HP or even warp a character to another spot

– When the game is just booted, there will be choices for Normal/Hard difficulty and Casual/Classic mode

– Class Change now uses a Qualification Exam system: Character needs to spend Exam Passes and the chance of passing improves with correct skill ranks

– Once the class has been unlocked, the character can freely change back anytime

– Level won’t go back to Lv1 either

– Characters start in Commoner or Noble class depending on their origins, but these starting classes are same stat-wise: can just use some magic with no other highlights

– The first class upgrades after Lv5: Myrmidon (Sword), Soldier (Spear), Warrior (Axe & Bow), Monk (Magic)

– Ranked skills: Sword Skill, Spear Skill, Axe Skill, Bow Skill, Physics (Black & Dark magic), Faith (White magic), Flying (Flier classes), Heavy Armor (Armored classes), Horseriding (Cavalry classes)

– Each character has good & bad ranks
