Fire Emblem: Three Houses infamously launched a thousand ships . The Hogwarts-inspired school setting and emphasis on relationship building spurred tons of fans to create fan art and fiction based on their favorite potential romantic pairings, even if the content of the game itself was mostly kid-friendly.

The latest installment of the series, Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave , takes things a step further. Though there isn’t a dedicated romance or paired ending mechanic this time around, the characters of Fortune’s Weave wear their hearts on their sleeves, openly discussing their perspectives on sex and romance in a way that feels like a refreshing step forward for the series.
