Guide coverage

Four Protagonists, Four Routes

Like Three Houses, Fortune's Weave uses a multi-route structure where you pick one of four leads and follow their version of events: Cai, a boy fighting to free his imprisoned father; Dietrich, a swordsman chasing stronger opponents; Theodora, a queen pursuing her homeland's long-held dream; and Leda, a musician seeking revenge.

Between Matches & the Three Houses Connection

Between tournament matches you can train at the training grounds, strengthen bonds to recruit allies, and travel beyond Dagsion's walls for extra battles and dungeons. The game shares a world with the Fódlan setting of Three Houses in a different era — an aged Sothis appears in trailers, and Three Houses character designer Chinatsu Kurahana returns, though Koei Tecmo was not involved this time.
