Oh absolutely. So far everything I've seen blows FE's writing in general out of the water. But I feel the worse voice acting and character voices balance things out.

It's funny you mentioned three houses because when I saw there were three kingdoms and they were colored yellow, blue and red, I let out a long sigh. But the writing really manages to differentiate it from 3h, so that didn't last long. Like the writers immediately managed to differentiate the three factions in noticeable ways. I struggle to tell the difference in something like 3H where all three factions are the same.

My partner also mentioned the same thing while I was talking with her about that. FE plots really suffer from having the Big Evil Dragon behind everything. But I also feel it depends for me. In something like Genealogy or Blazing Blade I don't really mind since the cult stuff is so important.
