Fire Emblem: Three Houses features an autosave function in addition to the ability to perform a Soft Reset; however, the game does not explain how to perform a Soft Reset; therefore, that is one of the topics that will be covered in this guide, along with the various ways in which you can make use of this mechanic.
Playing FE: 3H the way it was designed to be played requires a certain amount of bravery since your favorite characters might be killed on the battlefield if they are there when it falls. You have the ability to reverse your poor choices and begin over by using Soft Resets.
Doing the Soft Reset
To my relief, Fire Emblem: Three Houses allows me to quickly return to the game’s main menu and load up an old save file if I find it necessary to do so. If I press the right combination of buttons at the right time, I will be sent back to the main menu in an instant. There, I will have access to all of the manual saves that I have hopefully remembered to create at the beginning of each day and before each fight.
For the purposes of “soft resetting” a game, hitting a certain sequence of buttons is required. This may be done in most cases without powering down the console or quitting the game. If you ever find yourself in a situation where you have to fast restart the game, you will be relieved to know that there is an easy and quick method to do it.
To soft reset the game and return to the main menu, press and hold the [-] + [+] + [L] + [R] buttons simultaneously.
The moment you press this button, you will be sent straight back to the main menu of the game, where you may choose the most recent save file to load.
It is important to keep in mind that they do not resume the game from the beginning of the save file; rather, they often begin over from the most recent save point.
Applications for a “Soft Reset”
Keeping Track of stat changes
It is impossible to foresee how the stats of your troops will vary as they level up. If there are certain statistics you want your troops to focus on, you are free to restart the game as many times as required to get the outcomes you want using the Stat Change ability.
Restarting battles
You have the option to save your game, see the current battlefield, and start again at any point before a fight. This is useful in general, but especially so on the more demanding settings.
In addition, this can be helpful if you need to rapidly restart a battle to prevent permanently losing troops or reload a save file to assist your students in passing a Certification exam without wasting any of your valuable Seals. Both of these scenarios require you to quickly restart the battle in order to prevent permanently losing troops. It may also be useful in the event that you pick the wrong dialogue option, causing you to miss out on more support points.
It’s not a perfect solution, particularly when you consider that the load times in Fire Emblem Three Houses are still very long, but it’s better than having to exit the game totally and start it back up again.
It is important to keep in mind that they do not resume the game from the beginning of the save file; rather, they often begin over from the most recent save point.
Undoing your choices
In order to progress through this game, you will need to make a variety of choices, some of which will have a big impact on the story. You may start the game again if you think that you haven’t reacted correctly to any of the important lines, but be sure to save your progress often.
