The day is finally here! Fire Emblem: Three Houses is out in the wild, and it's rather excellent.
Now, while the game features potentially hundreds of hours of gameplay for you to enjoy, there's one particular question on everyone's lips: which house will you join?
The Black Eagles, the Blue Lions, and the Golden Deer all sound like more than suitable options to us, but we want to know which one is screaming out to you. Maybe you've already chosen one? Or perhaps you already know who you'll pick when you load up the game?
We have more info on each house below if you need it - when you're all clued up, make sure to go ahead and vote in our poll a little further down!
House Profiles:
Black Eagles | Blue Lions | Golden Deer

Blue cause it's my favorite color So the Blue Lions go first
Still waiting for my copy, mail should arrive in few hours. I really know nothing about any of the factions but I'm going to guess the game is going to clarify a little bit about them before I'll have to make the choice. Bit leaning towards the yellow house since having an archer lord sounds absolutely terrible, which appeals to me.
More importantly I just hope I actually end up liking the game.
After some careful deliberation, I went with the Black Eagles.
Gryffindor.
Easy ofcourse.
Man I wish I already had this game, pre-ordered the Fódlan Collection from Amazon Japan, but they are only shipping it now, so it will take at least a week before I get my hands on this.... Anyway, I think I know which I will choose, and that will be the Black Eagles. Why? ...well because they have the prettiest main character of course.....
Didn't really know we chose a house in the game.
Doesn't this count as a spoiler?
My favorite lord in the series, like I said yesterday, is Ephraim so Blue Lions for mister lance dude. I like Hector a lot too so it's cool that we have another Axe wielding lord after all this time. Probably Black Eagles second.
I picked the Golden Deer! Kinda seems like the losers/troublemaker club so it should be a fun third option.
I'm not suprised that the Black Eagles are so popular though, they seem to be making that the "main route" in some ways.
The Purple Parrots.
Going to pick up the game in a bit, I'm getting really excited for it. I'll go with the Golden Deer for my first playthrough.
My favourite colour is Red, so I'm not buying the game!
Just kidding, I'll buy it eventually and start with the Black Eagles because I am shallow and base my choice 100% on the design of female characters.
I believe I will choose Wolfenstein.
I’m going to go with Blue Lions, though I will make multiple save files when it’s time to make my choice so I can play the other houses later down the line. I’ll probably go with Black Eagles for the second playthrough, then Golden Deer for my third. I’ll probably be playing this on and off for a solid year or two to see all possible routes.
@Kimyonaakuma
Maybe it also has something to do with Edelgard being the only one of the three you can marry no matter which gender your character is. I fully admit that I'm not so sure of my Golden Deer allegiance anymore.
Golden Deer. I want to have Claude's babies when he's older.
@Olmectron Not exactly a spoiler since nintendo themselves have been saying you choose a house in their advert videos every single time. Thats moreso your fault for keeping yourself so distanced to avoid spoilers
Blue Lions starting out for me.
I went with the golden deer class, though I am quite concerned about the little amount of playable characters there are, 8 class mates plus yourself compared to the 25+ playabable characters of the 3ds fore emblem games
@sanderev That has been my thought exactly since the moment they showed the school stuff at E3
Supposedly Blue is the easiest and Red is the hardest so I'll probably play Blue, then Yellow, then Black.
@playstation_king Your students won’t be the only units in your army; there are plenty of other characters to recruit, too.
@Roto13 Are they all really difficulty based?
@thiz Well, yeah. No need to be so rude. I avoided everything after the first reveal trailer. So I didn't think we would repeat the "choose a path" thing from Fates.
While it has been a thing in recent games, it's not a "trademark" thing for Fire Emblem games. Not because it's called "Four Things", means I would choose one of the four things.
Blue Lion sounds like a Brexit logo.
I'm leaving towards Golden Deer.
Blue Lions. I find the students the most appealing after all.
I may or may not also be partial to the color blue and anything that's a cat.
Black Eagles... Because... Hmm... Well... Edelgard.
I'm leaning towards the Blue Lions. They seem to be the best foundation for a blue knight calvary so...yeah. 😛
I'm going with Black Eagles on my first playthrough. I'd like to see the storylines for how the other two houses play out, but I dunno how different those'll actually be, so if I end up playing through just one time, I feel like the Black Eagles have the highest concentration of the character designs I like most.
Cue Harry Potter theme.
I voted Black Eagles earlier but now I’m at the point in the game where I have to decide and I think I’m going with Golden Deer...
@imogenpeach same I picked black eagles but golden deer looks more like my cup of tea
Red Jaguars all the way!
So much stupid looking hair.
What's with the characters fading in and out constantly in battles? That looked rather bad.
I thought I was gonna choose the Black Eagles before playing it, but Edelgard just seemed too... judgemental? controlling? for my tastes, and I didn't really like the male characters in that house, so I ended up going with the Blue Lions. Plus I'm curious how it'll affect the future seen from the 2nd trailer...
@sanderev
Too bad they don’t have Slytherin...(they also did the same for Pokemon Go.
I actually am in love with the red team, but I really want to be “friend” with some Blue lionesses...
@Kisame83 Do you mean cougars?
@PACO_PEREZ
Can you achieve S rank with 2 people? E or M ... hmmm
I went with the, at least according to this poll, underdog Blue Lions.
I'm actually in sleep mode at the decision, I have been going back in forth between the Black Eagles and Golden Deer so I will probably think about it for another hour then make my decision.
@Wiss2wiss nah haha, I was making a Legends Of The Hidden Temple reference. I just chose Black Eagles though.
Come on Blue Lions, you're not gonna lost to some stupid deer and eagles are you?! Bah.
