@Gaahl I agree about 3H but I don't think FE has bad story usually. You could say some FE games have bland of vanilla story, like Binding sword. The formula for the story is relatively simple, but it does convince you.
The FE series is known for its kingdom conflicts featuring memorable characters - nobles, peasants, soldiers and leaders, with their vices and virtures, and occasionally a mercenary group, all in a believable, well-thought setting with an interesting plot development.
3H takes a sharp turn and transforms all that into a Hogwarts school where "students" are given a pack of soldiers to lead in battle against bandits (???). What is this "monastery" exactly? A school for ppl who want to become generals in the battlefield? Why do they behave like college students? Why does the child of a "mercenary band" leader - who we know nothing about - suddenly become a professor at this school? What is he supposed to teach?
I tried really hard to respect Three Houses. But the story is just too childish. I can't fathom how it can be remotely compared to path of radiance, which in contrast is very mature - and agreeing with the community, the best.
I'd like to give 3H a chance again... but how can I? Does it get less cringey, childish and annoying later on?
Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the new relationship and combat mechanics (despite the story missions being too easy after doing the optional missions, which is a game breaker).

Sorry, but this story is anything but convincing.
