Fire Emblem: Three Houses

Fire Emblem: Three Houses
Also known as: Fire Emblem: Fuukasetsugetsu (JP) Developers: Intelligent Systems, Koei Tecmo Publisher: Nintendo Platform: Nintendo Switch Released internationally: July 26, 2019 This game has unused playable characters. This game has unused enemies. This game has unused graphics. This game has unused items. This game has unused abilities. This game has unused text. This game has regional differences. This game has revisional differences.

This article is a work in progress. ...Well, all the articles here are, in a way. But this one moreso, and the article may contain incomplete information and editor's notes.

Fire Emblem: Three Houses is a series of firsts for the Fire Emblem series: the first in HD, the first on a console since 2007's Radiant Dawn, and the first not mainly developed by Intelligent Systems — Koei Tecmo handled most of the development, and the game runs off the same engine as Fire Emblem Warriors. New features include multiple canon endings (sorry, Fates), battalions (so it's not just your merry band of teenagers against the world on the battlefield), a universal class tree for all units, and a central hub to explore before each chapter.

It also tells the story of the worst high school reunion in history.

Note that this page has unmarked spoilers for some in-game story events and character reveals.

To do: Document battalions outside of just text strings. Provide footage for all unused scenarios with scrapped dialogue and voices (if possible). Document support and script changes between the Japanese and International script. Document more of the unused event scripting. Create a prerelease page, including documentation of differences between prerelease footage and the final game (see here).

Subpages

Unused Quests "I have something to ask of you... No, not that."

Unused Dialogue Originally, there would have been even MORE betrayals...

Unused Items Don't need what you don't see, I guess...

Unused System Text "That might be un...impossible."

Unused Unit Data Alas, poor Soldier; we hardly knew ye.

Regional Differences Be motivated, Byleth!

Revisional Differences LOTS of updates.

Oddities Including miscellaneous unused content and actual in-game oddities.

Unused Difficulty Mode

To do: Provide more images from Infernal difficulty and specify what other differences it has.

Besides Maddening difficulty, which was finished and added to the game in version 1.0.2, there is an unused fourth difficulty setting called Infernal. Hacking the game to access said difficulty reveals most enemies feature absurdly sky-high levels to the point of most of them reaching their stat caps around the midgame. It is also fairly unbalanced and unfinished for the most part, with many chapters lacking the necessary script to set the ending flags.

Unused and Unseen Characters

Playable Jeralt, Rhea and Sothis

Jeralt, Rhea and Sothis - who only appear in the game as NPCs - have a complete set of voice clips, growths and stat caps specifically for playable units, with the first two having a spell learnset, set skill levels/proficiencies and even some data - mostly voice clips - for Tea Party. In Rhea's case, her Tea Party data was finalized and the option to invite her was added with the Wave 4 DLC through a new Quest. Interestingly enough, Sothis's base HP value is briefly visible when using the Sothis Shield skill, as the HP value of the Sothis NPC that appears to cast the spell on Byleth.

Unused Battle Clips

To do: Provide the missing JP lines/voice clips.

While some of Jeralt's and Rhea's battle clips can be heard in-game in their appearances as allied units, they do also have playable-unit-specific lines that go unused in the final game. Sothis's battle lines, on the other hand, all go completely unused, except for her normal battle grunts that can be heard when she casts Sothis Shield on Byleth.

Cleobulus

Data for an unused member of "those who slither in the dark" called Cleobulus (Japanese: クレオブロス Cleobulus) can be found near minor Agarthan NPCs like Myson, Bias, Chilon and Pittacus. They're set to use the Warlock class and have Agarthan Technology as their personal ability like other members. As the latter characters are all fought in Chapter 20/21 of the Silver Snow/Verdant Wind routes, this suggests Cleobulus was likely meant to serve a similar purpose as well.

Mystery DLC Girl

The Wave 3 DLC (version 1.1.0) added a new character which was never finalized. Checking the game's data reveals said character is a 17 year old girl with the Commoner class, her birthday is on January 1, her base stats and growths are exactly the same as Ferdinand's, and she's set to call out voice clips absent in the game. Curiously, some of her data changed during updates: in version 1.1.0, she was affiliated with the Adrestian Empire and had a Minor Crest of Cichol; in version 1.2.0, however, her affiliation changed to the Church of Seiros and her Crest changed into a Major Crest of Flames.

Stable Hand, Trader, and Certification Proctor

These unused NPCs would presumably have been interacted with in the monastery to use the scrapped horse raising and trading features and to take certification exams (as described in the cut quest Try Certification Exams), respectively. Their character IDs are found near those of the used NPCs who are similarly in charge of used monastery features, such as the Choir Coordinator and Tournament Organizer. Perhaps unsurprisingly, leftover unit data indicates that the Stable Hand would've been placed at the Stables, the Trader at the Marketplace, and the Certification Proctor outside of the Officers Academy classrooms.

Count Galatea

Ingrid's father, Count Galatea, has a character slot with no other data assigned to it besides the name. Technically, he isn't entirely unused, as during the scene in Byleth and Ingrid's B support where they read a letter from him, the event script that handles showing the letter's contents calls his character ID with one of its parameters, but as this parameter has no visible effect in gameplay, his nametag is never seen by the player.

Note that the base stats listed are those including the inherent stat boosts from the characters' default classes. Additionally, like the used characters, the unavailable characters are all at level 20, but unlike the used characters, they all have no battalion equipped and do not have any of their classes mastered.

Leftover Names

In the latter half of the unit name strings - after the character names, but before the generic occupation/class names for monastery NPCs and cutscene-exclusive characters - there is a sizable batch of completely unused names.

Name (JP)	Name (EN)	Notes
ヒョードル	Fedor	--
フェルド	Feld	--
リンクル	Linel	--
カッシュ	Kusch	--
ベルティア	Beltia	--
ドーラ	Dora	Fun fact: "Dora", spelt the same way, is also the Japanese name of the Miasma spell that appears in this game.
ペネット	Penette	--
グーグー	Dreeg	--
フェルヴァン	Felvan	--
アル	Al	This is the name of the protagonist of Fire Emblem: Hasha no Tsurugi, a spinoff manga that accompanied Fuuin no Tsurugi, though the odds of this entry having anything to do with him are slim to none.
シルエル	Silale	--

セバスチャン	Sebastian	--
カーリー	Karly	--
ハンブルク	Hamburg	--
マシュー	Matthew	The seventh game also has a Matthew, though again, this is unlikely to have anything to do with him.

Unused Abilities

There are a handful of cut abilities with text and icon assets. All of them are fully functional when hacked onto a unit unless otherwise specified.

Icon	Name (JP)	Name (EN)	Description text (JP)	Description text (EN)	Notes
	白魔法必殺＋１０	White Magic Crit +10	白魔法装備時、斧殺＋１０	When using white magic, Grants Crit +10 .[sic]	White and dark magic counterparts to the six used Crit +10 abilities associated with other weapon types.
	闇魔法必殺＋１０	Dark Magic Crit +10	闇魔法装備時、斧殺＋１０	When using dark magic, Grants Crit +10 .[sic]
	槍回避＋２０	Lance Avoid +20	槍装備時、回避＋２０	When using a lance, Grants Avo +20 .[sic]	A lance counterpart to the seven used Avoid +20 abilities associated with other weapon types.
	格闘殺し	Fistbreaker	自分が弓を装備して 格闘の敵と戦う時、 命中・回避＋２０	Grants Hit/Avo +20 when using a bow against brawlers.	A brawling counterpart to the Breaker ability family. While internally linked to a bow skill level of B in the files, it is inaccessible in gameplay.
	練磨	Discipline	戦闘で入手する 技能ＥＸＰが２倍になる	Doubles skill experience earned in battle.	A skill from prior Fire Emblem games. In the final game, a different ability, Mastermind, has the same effect and icon (the design of which is taken from Discipline's appearances in Radiant Dawn and Awakening).
	※欠番	Missing Number	※欠番	Missing Number	Uses the icon of the Wary Fighter skill from Fates and Heroes. Doesn't appear to have any surviving in-game effects.
	歩行特効無効	Infantry Effect Null	歩行特効を無効にする	Cancels effectiveness against infantry units.	In the final game, nothing inflicts effectiveness specifically on infantry units. Currently unknown if it nullifies the effectiveness-against-everything that the Atrocity and War Master's Strike combat arts inflict.
	竜特効無効	Dragon Effect Null	竜特効を無効にする	Cancels effectiveness against dragons.	In the final game, there are numerous weapons and combat arts that are effective against dragon units, but dragons are an enemy-exclusive unit type.
	完全特効無効	Effect Null	すべての特効を無効化する	Cancels all types of effectiveness.	Comparable to various items and skills from prior games, like the Full Guard, Nullify, and the Monshou no Nazo version of Iote's Shield.
	威圧感	Air of Intimidation	実装保留	On Hold	Don't appear to have any surviving in-game effects. They use the default icon for abilities that don't have a specific icon of their own (which appears to be based on the background of Vantage and Battalion Vantage's icons).

Unused Crests

This needs some investigation. Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page. Specifically: Can the Crests of Chevalier and Flames activate on Staggering Blows as well (like how the Crest of Seiros can) when hacked onto a monster unit?

There are two unused crests with no assigned icons in the game's code.

Icon	Name (JP)	Name (EN)	Description text (JP)	Description text (EN)	Effect	Notes
(N/A)	アガルタの紋章	Agarthan Crest	アガルタの紋章。古の技術で作られた 武器に刻印されている。	The Crest of Agartha. This Crest is engraved into weapons created with ancient technology.

Additionally, all of the crests that only appear in their Major forms in the final game have fully-functional Minor versions leftover in the code as well.
(Note that because of how crest graphics are generated, these icons are not truly unique unused content, though the rest of the crests' data is.)

Unused Battalions

This needs some investigation. Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page. Specifically: Do they use any icons? Are they fully functional? What class models do Cliff Bandit Marksmen and Pirate Marksmen use on the map?

There are many unused battalions in the game's code. Most of them seem to have been meant for specific enemy factions which never deploy them in the final game.

Unused Gambit

Unused Graphics

Unused Class Sprites

Several characters (Hubert, Ferdinand, Ashe, Raphael, Lysithea, Leonie, and Hanneman) have sets of personalized class sprites for their playable appearance in Part II with specific Master/Advanced classes. They're left unused in the finished game, as they use generic class bodies instead.

Jeralt has class sprites depicting him as a playable Commoner and Paladin despite only appearing as an NPC unit.

Used	Unused

Dimitri's Part II class sprites always depict him with an eyepatch, even in the Crimson Flower route where he retains both of his eyes for story-related reasons. In spite of this, there's an unused sprite meant for said route which displays him with both eyes that are stored on their own separate spritesheet.

Used	Unused

Likewise, Rhea has unique sprites for the Saint class she uses for Crimson Flower. In the final game, the sprites in question are loaded only for the Rhea used during CF's lategame story events (ID 58) rather than the one used for Chapter 17's story mission (ID 36), meaning the Archbishop class's sprite always ends up reused instead.

Class sprites for generic NPCs with the Dancer class can be found among the other sprites. Interestingly, only the female dancer happens to have portrait graphics to match within the game's files.

The Wave 4 DLC added sprites for generic NPCs using the Trickster, War Monk, War Cleric, Valkyrie, and Dark Flier classes. As only male Tricksters and Valkyries are used in-game (by purchasing the DLC Pass), the sprites meant for the female Trickster, War Monk, War Cleric, and Dark Flier NPCs ended up being left unused.

(Source: Original TCRF research)

Unused Icons

Multiple battalion icons are left unused in the finished game as no battalions ever use them.

Several icon variants for weapon and equipment exist in the game which are left unused in the game proper.

Gold, silver, and black icons for white, black, and dark magic spells exist in the game even though none of them are used.

Icons denoting monsters' weaknesses also exist for brawling, white magic, black magic, and dark magic spells despite none of them being used.

Three icons meant for unknown abilities can be found among other sprites.

Two icons meant for unused item type(s).

Some unused icons for item categories in the Inventory and Storehouse menus. The last set appears to be derived from the Dining Hall meal activity icon, so perhaps it was meant for the scrapped useable meal items?

These icons might've been meant for instruction modifiers (i.e., skill strengths/weaknesses, professor expertise, statue bonuses, etc.), given the style.

A camera icon is located among the sprites displayed during battle animations.

This icon is stored with, and formatted similarly to, attack labels such as "MISS" and "CRITICAL" displayed during battle animations. Perhaps it was meant to be used for hits that break a monster's barrier?

Amidst the icons used to display an unit's affiliation, the flag used by Miklan's Thieves seen in Chapter 5's map and ensuing cutscene is left unused.

Even though battalion endurance has a maximum level of 3 in the final game, sprites meant to denote a fourth and fifth level exist in the graphics files.

Icons for three of the scrapped Group Tasks can still be found among the game's files.

The labels for monastery activities include a few unused icons, including one likely meant for the scrapped horse raising activity.

Various icons of unknown purpose, found among files related to monastery UI elements. The text of the last one (好物) translates to "favorite food".

This bright red icon meant to be used when choosing the scrapped Infernal difficulty still lies with the rest of the title screen UI elements.

An unused option for the explore phase's main pause menu. The text (次週へ) reads "To Next Week", so this might've been for a quick way to skip ahead to later in the month, like the Skip option in free time-action selection.

Options for an unknown menu. Using the final game's text strings as a reference, these correspond to, in order, "Instruct" (個別指導), "Group Tasks" (グループ課題), "Recruitment" (スカウト), "Assignments" or "Mission Orders" (任務受注, the only one of these phrases that doesn't appear somewhere in the final game), "Gifts" (贈り物), "Talk" (会話する), and "Certification Exams" (資格試験).

Unused Portraits

A placeholder character portrait that, as with many previous Fire Emblem games, depicts a silhouetted figure. Interestingly, the small version is actually used in the game; if you move your cursor near an activated Viskam turret in Zoom View, it will have a portrait pop-up in the same style as regular units that uses this portrait.

All of the portrait sets for playable characters include a portrait with a blushing expression, but some of these are never used in-game.

Many of the named NPCs and enemies also have portraits for various expressions that go unused.

Similar to the class sprite situation, portraits meant for generic NPCs with the female Trickster, War Monk, and War Cleric Classes are left unused.

Unused S-Rank Support Images

Seteth	Flayn	Catherine	Cyril

At the end of the Crimson Flower route, Byleth loses their connection to Sothis, and their hair returns to their normal blue hue. This is reflected in the S-Rank support illustrations seen in the game's ending, which come in both blue-haired (for Crimson Flower) and green-haired (for the other three routes) variants as appropriate to the availability of each character in the appropriate routes. However, blue-haired variants exist for four characters who are unavailable in Crimson Flower: Seteth, Flayn, Catherine, and Cyril.

Unused Part II Murals

Horsebow Moon (Part II)	Wyvern Moon (Part II)	Red Wolf Moon (Part II)	Alternate Ethereal Moon (Part II)

Graphic files depicting the Horsebow, Wyvern, Red Wolf, and Ethereal Moon murals can be found in spite of the first three months never being visited in any route during Part II and the last using completely new graphics for its brief appearance in the second half of the game.

Placeholder Cutscene Images

This is a placeholder variant of the cutscene illustration depicting Zanado from Chapter 2. In the placeholder, Sothis is standing atop the building; in the final version, she is replaced with a nondescript white statue.

These images displaying Edelgard, Dimitri and Claude alongside their respective houses' flags are loaded for the story event "A Pair of Professors", but end up swapped with unique CGs built in-engine with the game's assets.

(Source: fedatamine [13])

This small placeholder image meant for displaying small objects/shots in cutscenes is repeated multiple times in the game's files.

Unused Chest Graphic

For whatever reason, this unassuming treasure chest is the only small-sized, non-placeholder CG that goes unused in the final game. What it might've been meant for is unknown.

Unused Voice Clips

Academy Phase Death Screams

Death screams for Byleth and every student during the Academy Phase exist in the game, but are left unused as the game is hardcoded so that none of those units can die during Part I. Interestingly, even though male Byleth's English VA, Chris Niosi, was replaced with Zach Aguilar in version 1.0.2, Byleth will still use the former's death scream should the game be hacked to restore this function.

To do: Provide the JP screams.

Ashen Wolves English Death Screams

Unused Maps

This needs some investigation. Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page. Specifically: Are there more unused maps beyond these two?

War at Gronder & Taking Fort Merceus Variations

To do: Provide footage of the unused maps in question.

There exist unused variations for the story maps War at Gronder and Taking Fort Merceus, which were meant to serve as a Chapter 17 and 18 respectively according to remaining leftover text. Both maps also have the same beginning logs seen in their used variations, with the Fort Merceus map sharing its description with the Silver Snow and Verdant Wind variants of the mission.

The spawn data for the Gronder Field map is 118 and for its script is 119, while for Fort Merceus they're 120 and 121 respectively. Both maps have the same exact spawn data, which consists of a few generic NPCs in the Black Eagles route's version of the mission. Meanwhile, the data for the Blue Lions and Golden Deer paths is completely empty beyond the basic script used for loading up the map.

Interestingly, these are the only maps in which Female Byleth is specifically called by the Spawn Data; all other maps call Male Byleth by default, and the game's code accounts for the female option if it was chosen instead.

Unused Classes

King of Beasts, King of Fangs and King of Wings

At the very end of the class list (save for DLC and placeholder slots), along with the various other monster classes, there are entries listed for three unused monster classes: King of Beasts (Japanese: 獣の王 King of Beasts), King of Fangs (Japanese: 牙の王 King of Fangs), and King of Wings (Japanese: 翼の王 King of Wings). Given that in auxiliary maps containing a red exclamation icon, it's possible to find a specific Wild Demonic Beast, Giant Wolf, or Giant Bird bearing these names respectively, it's possible these classes may have been planned to be used by said units instead.

Most of their assigned data is identical to that of the corresponding used monster classes, but unlike those classes, they don't have any innate abilities assigned. They also have unique name and description strings:

Name (JP)	Name (EN)	Description (JP)	Description (EN)
獣の王	King of Beasts	理性を失った野生の魔獣の中で 特に強い魔力を持つ魔獣の王。	King of demonic beasts. Among the feral beasts who have lost their reason, this one has particularly strong magic power.
牙の王	King of Fangs	魔力を取り込み巨大化した狼の中で 特に強い魔力を持った狼の王。	King of wolves. Among the wolves who have grown to unnatural size by absorbing magic, this one has particularly strong magic power.
翼の王	King of Wings	魔力を取り込み巨大化した鳥の中で 特に強い魔力を持った鳥の王。	King of birds. Among the birds who have grown to unnatural size by absorbing magic, this one has particularly strong magic power.
