The latest Fire Emblem game is almost here, as fans only need to wait more two weeks until the game's launch, on July 26th. Spoilers and information are beginning to spread, as people get their hands on review copies or find retailers that break street date. Series fans will know that Supports are a major part of previous Fire Emblem games, with more modern entries fully allowing you to play matchmaker with every member of your army. This new Fire Emblem title will have that same feature, though with a rather significant addition; Nintendo has confirmed that Fire Emblem: Three Houses will allow your player character to romance certain other party members, particularly of the same sex. This isn't the first time that the series has allowed for same-sex romance options--Fire Emblem: Fates gave players two party members that you could romance, regardless of your player character's gender. Not every unit will be compatible, but an initial list of some of those specific characters can be found in the source link, below.

Considering the reception and popularity of a well-known Fire Emblem: Fates romhack, hosted on this very site, this choice could be a very welcome and long-awaited one.

Let me level with you friend, Fire Emblem doesn't exist, so you don't need to have a reason to like it any less. It's all smoke and mirrors Nintendo pulls out, but think about it, have you ever SEEN a Fire Emblem? I know I haven't. Have you ever seen a Fire Emblem fan? Do such people even exist? I think not. Sure, you might see that one person online saying "oh I love Fire Emblem! Fire Emblem 12 is the best one out there!" but c'mon, they're just saying it for attention. It's bizarre to me people still buy into this.

Honestly? Just move on. Don't get sucked in by this propaganda. Don't become a fake fan of this fake series.
its not like the fandom will want you anyway with such a shitty attitude towards such an insignificant aspect of the game

Ummm, okay? Thanks, I guess... :confused:

It's kinda fun to see a person so intimidated by the prospect of Nintendo games becoming gay that they have to write an elaborate article on why they shouldn't be afraid of Nintendo games becoming gay x)

I don't feel intimidated. Not at all. Just because Nintendo doesn't develop FE doesn't mean publishimg the series isn't compromising their morals, and I'm willing to accept that and still be a Nintendo fan. That's not to say that I approve, I just enjoy certain things Nintendo related.

Even though Nintendo is compromising, I still believe that most, if not all, of the game developers at Nintendo try to keep the games kid friendly and clean, despite some crude humor and some violence in game series like WarioWare and Legend of Zelda. Not all of Nintendo is bad; the company has been in my prayers, so maybe it improved some due to that. Take that as you will (cuz' you will anyway!).

What is a "strong heterosexual man" ? I'd love to hear a description for that.

I don't see why theres any controversy over this. This is just more options to those that want them. You can be a strong heterosexual man and just chill anyway.

Fire Emblem: Three Houses is marked PEGI12 or T for Teens. I hate to break it to some people, but teens know about gays and lesbians already. I'm about as conservative as a jar of pickles, but even I can see that the "outrage" is a little misplaced here. It's an optional romance option - if you're so concerned about the kiddos, perhaps you should be harping about promiscuity being a feature at all instead of focusing on what kind of genitalia smack against what other kind.

Is there a parental control option to turn this off? I don’t want to accidentally turn pair’d characters from friends into non-straight couples.

Press Plus on the main menu with the game selected. From there, you press down twice, then right, down twice, then A, and A again. That should do the trick.

So .. @HarvHouHacker is that sexy? Damn!

 

[warweeny]

you all know you guys can choose which character to romance right? its not like Miyamoto is gonna come down to your house and hold your nintendo switches hostage until you choose to tell an NPC of the same sex you love them.

Yet, this is just the start, sadly.

 

[SkittleDash]

Oh, sweet! Better than what Fates did with only two. Now my only worry is goddamn censorship. They better not touch it... >.>

It's a good step, but to be honest I won't really be satisfied until the whole limited character pool thing is gone.

What if I don't like any of the characters I can romance? That would really suck. The whole marriage system being so limited if you want a same-sex relationship is somewhat of a barrier to the series for me.

Is it? Not everyone's gay and making only some characters gay makes it realistic, tbh i wouldn't want everyone to be gay in the game.

 

[DJPlace]

with the switch mini coming out i may grab this maybe...

I mean, it doesn't have to be that way. They could easily just have it so that, y'know, their sexuality changed depending on if the player tried to romance them.

If Nintendo can allow gay shit in their games, then they have no excuse to not release Mother 3 (y'know magypsies)

The issue with the magypsies is that they're a poor taste caricature of homosexuals (all pink hair, every homosexual is a gypsy, reference to child predatoring...), which would be very bad for Nintendo's image of they released the game in the West.

 

[lampdemon]

As long as it's not censored I don't care. Dual audio would also be nice.

 

[anhminh]

So do we have child unit or not? I need to know if I can mix and match for my perfect unit or not.

 

[drazenm]

What a, selling point lol, this is really something to be highlighted and a deal breaker why to buy/play a game????


Fcuk me dead, we should literally be annihilated as species.

 

[Bimmel]

Can my children be gay too? I really need to know that. Asking for a friend.
