Play on Hard Classic Mode
On the other hand, if you’re looking for a good challenge, replay the game on Hard Classic mode. Let’s be real, Fire Emblem: Three Houses isn’t all that tough on the Normal setting, and the difficulty doesn’t really ramp up until you get to the last handful of battles, or if you dive deep into the optional Paralogues.
Classic mode brings back the permadeath elements of the series, which means that you’ll need to be extremely smart about how you position your units on the battlefield, or be careful with how you’re using that Divine Pulse mechanic. Hard mode just makes units tougher, and limits your characters’ growth as they level up.
Hard mode is quite a nice step up from Normal mode, and it truly makes every move feel crucial. If you’re feeling a little apprehensive about starting a fresh file on Hard difficulty, though, you can always do it in new game plus instead.
As mentioned previously, new game plus gives you a nice starting advantage in terms of deciding which skills you want to invest in, so you can plan out your character development early on.
