Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes reveals Shez as a new protagonist

sportskeeda.com:

A brand new trailer for Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes has dropped, and with it, a new mysterious mercenary has appeared. The new protagonist, the purple-haired Shez, has been revealed. With seemingly more personality than the previous protagonist, Byleth, it seems that they will be the main focus of Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes.

More about the upcoming game was revealed when the trailer dropped, showing off gameplay, the main character's appearance in different genders, and more.

Byleth, the protagonist of the previous Fire Emblem: Three Houses, was a pretty bland and generic character for the player to live through. This doesn’t seem to be the case with Shez in Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes.

Shez has a smart mouth and is very quick-witted, immediately making them a far more interesting character than their predecessor. However, it seems like the primary antagonist may just be Byleth. Byleth was referred to as the “Ashen Demon” for their unwavering courage, and that title gets dropped quickly in the trailer.

Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes' protagonist can be of either gender, just like Byleth, and in the same vein, also appears to be a mercenary. In the trailer, he talks about his wallet being a little light on funds and remarks that the people he’s speaking to could probably use a mercenary.

There are many unknowns about the game right now, but it seems like players will probably pick one of the factions to join, and then influence the flow of the game from there.

Like Three Houses, Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes will have three paths to choose from, with multiple endings to seek out. Several characters will seem familiar but have different hairstyles compared to their looks in Fire Emblem: Three Houses.
