    The story is rich and multifaceted, featuring three distinct routes that provide ample content to justify the game's price. It is heavily dialogue-driven, with fully voiced cutscenes and support conversations, and incorporates elements of in-game politics and tough decision-making. While the narrative is engaging, some players expressed a desire for more backstory on the character Shez.

    • “The story in the three routes was long enough to justify the price.”
    • “This time, the story takes place in three houses instead of Awakening; the game is story and dialogue heavy compared to Hyrule Warriors, for example.”
    • “I wish that there was more backstory for Shez.”
    • “When you reach this point in the game, it's best to create a separate save file if you plan to play all three storylines.”
    • “Like other Fire Emblem games, there’s some in-game politics and tough decisions to be made; cutscenes, support conversations, and the main story plot are fully voiced.”
