The third wave of Fire Emblem: Three Houses DLC is now available to download, adding a sauna, new outfits, a recruitable Anna, and, yes, the ability to interact with monastery animals like cats and dogs.

 

 

Anna can be recruited after completing a new quest, while the ability to interact with cats and dogs must be earned by completing a quest, as well.

Previously, we reported dogs would be able to be pet in this update; however, this appears to have been a misinterpretation of a translation, as dogs and cats can only be given gifts instead. We apologize for any confusion caused by this error.

Maid and butler battalions have also been added in addition to Servants Attire, Summer Wear, and Evening Wear costumes.

Additionally, the number of save slots has increased to 25, and a new character (with S-support options for both male and female Byleth) can now be recruited in Part 2: Crimson Flower.

Check out the full update notes below, including changes coming to players without the Expansion Pass:

 

  • New and Updated Features
    • Increased the number of save files from 5 to 25. Note: Increased number of save files will require approximately 12MB of additional system memory space. If you don’t have enough space, you can delete some application data or images saved in the album.
    • Added a new option, In Battle, in Appearance Options, allowing the player to select the monastery outfits for battle as well.
      • Note: You can set this from the Unit Appearance menu in Personal Quarters.
      • Note: Depending on the outfit/character/class combination, some outfits may not be reflected for mounted units.
    • Added feature that allows players to hide the UI when viewing a character in Unit Appearance.
    • Added new allies that will join in Part 2: Crimson Flower.
    • Changed the song that plays in the opening movie to the Korean version when the system language is set to Korean.

      • Note: New outfits (Servants Attire, Summer Wear, and Evening Wear) are provided for the protagonist and for the playable characters. They can be selected via Personal Quarters in the monastery.
    • Added an additional element of the Expansion Pass, making Anna available for recruiting in the monastery after the third chapter, Mutiny in the Mist.
      • Note: Anna can participate in battles and activities.
      • Note: Anna does not have Support relationships.
      • Note: Recruiting Anna unlocks a new paralogue after a certain chapter.
      • Note: It’s possible to set Anna as a traveler, but the recipient cannot recruit her as an Adjutant unless they also own the Expansion Pass.
      • Note: If a player has not purchased the Expansion Pass, only one of the new characters in the Expansion Pass can visit as a traveler.

    • Fixed a bug that prevented a support conversation event from happening when certain inputs were made after increasing Support levels while exploring the monastery.
