''Fire Emblem: Three Houses'' is the sixteenth mainline title released in the long-running ''Fire Emblem'' franchise, as well as the first home console title since ''Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn'' for the Wii in 2007. As usual for most games, it takes place in a new continuity separate from previous ones, now being set in the Continent of Fódlan. The player controls Byleth, as they work as a teacher of one of the three classes, with one of them being the Black Eagles, lead by Edelgard, who serves as one of the game's lord characters. However, she becomes the new emperor of Adrestia, and launches a full-scale war on the entire continent. Depending on what class was chosen, Byleth could either side with Edelgard or go up against her.


'''''Star86''''' was a 3D MMO developed by Drumleaf, primarily aimed at children.<ref>[https://drumleaf.com/project/star86/ Drumleaf's page about the game.] Retrieved 23 Aug '21</ref> Sometime before 2013, the game was first launched as '''''BigLittleBang''''' in 2011 during its private beta session.<ref>[https://m.facebook.com/playstar86/photos/a.117274118348833/117754074967504/?type=3&source=54 Image on the Star86 Facebook page that featured the original name of the game.] Retrieved 23 Aug '21</ref> The primary focus of the game was to encourage players to make their own music using various instruments that can be collected in various worlds.
== The Recordings ==
As seen in the game's first E3 trailer from 2018, while this does not apply to the Japanese dub, Edelgard's English voice  in the trailer sounded a lot more different than the final. Around the time of the initial announcement, '''Cristina Vee confirmed that she will be voicing the character in the game''', and is looking forward to its launch.<ref>[https://twitter.com/CristinaVee/status/1006571917631819776?s=20 Tweet by Cristina Vee confirming her role as Edelgard].

She was never told or offered to reaudition for her, and it is unknown if she did any voice recordings for Edelgard's appearance in the ''Fire Emblem Heroes'' mobile game, despite having also voiced other characters for that game as well.


== Gameplay ==
Since her replacement, all that was left of Vee's performance were some recordings that can be heard
[[File:Star86 promo image.jpg|thumb|right|A promo image for the game.]]
The game was a 3D platformer that involved players exploring the galaxy and visiting various planets. Each planet had its own set of instruments that can be collected and used for making music. The systems also had collectable currency which could be used to buy ingame items, ranging from character accessories, to pets and modules that were used to customize the player's spaceship. The game had a premium currency (Called "Gold") that can be used for items not normally bought for the regular currency. Whenever a planet was entered, players had the option to play a navigation minigame where the player could avoid asteroids and collect instruments as they progress. Said minigame could be skipped just by porting the shuttle. Music could be made through a feature known as "dubble studio". Players could use this feature to make their own songs and place them in their spaceship. In addition, to compose music, a sequencer must be bought off from the store.<ref>[https://dubblescoop.tumblr.com/post/16786520798/dubblestudio11 A Dubble Scoop post detailing how to use Dubble Studio.] Retrieved 23 Aug '21</ref>
 
There were three playable avatars that the player could choose from, and they were referred as "dubbles"; one of them was a humanoid, another is a bulky-looking creature, and the last is another creature with a saucer for legs. The dubble the player had picked would become permanent and couldn't be changed. Some planets also had their own minigame. For example, the zombie planet would usually host a tag minigame where players try to avoid getting tagged by an infected player, and another in the food planet where players could avoid ice cream-shaped creatures known as "foodzillas".<ref>[https://dubblescoop.tumblr.com/post/21370569692/tips-from-the-lord-of-darkness A post on Double Scoop detailing two of the planets. Retrieved 23 Aug '21]</ref> Players could also customize their spaceship in the ship building yard feature using modules that could be bought from the shop. The interiors of the module could be customized with furniture and decorations as well.<ref>[https://dubblescoop.tumblr.com/post/21746524541/shiprenovations Dubble Scoop post about spaceship customization.] Retrieved 23 Aug '21</ref> More decorations could be bought in the shop. In addition, players could also customize their space shuttle in a similar manner to the spaceship modules. The space shuttle can be controlled in the navigation minigame.<ref>[https://dubblescoop.tumblr.com/post/50561229906/the-portal-opens Dubble Scoop post about the portal update.] Retrieved 23 Aug '21</ref>
 
Though the game was mostly free to play, it offered premium membership that would let players gain access to other features that were inaccessible to regular players. This includes being able to buy premium-exclusive items regardless of currency, being able to explore the Water and Motorway planets, being able to add an unlimited amount of modules on their space ship, and making their own movies. There were three purchase options; 1 month, 6 months, and 12 months of membership.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20140702225733/https://www.star86.com/members An archived Star86 page detailing membership.] Retrieved 23 Aug '21</ref> Premium members were also granted 125 gold every week, as well as being able to hang out in an area known as the VIP Zone.
 
== Closure and Availability ==
On July 26th, 2014, Dubble Scoop editor Toodlepip had announced that the game will no longer be made playable. The main reason for its closure is due to the lack of money needed to run this site. An event leading to the shutdown was hosted for players to upload any screenshots, videos, fanart, and other forms of medium that would be placed inside the memory capsule. In addition, membership payments would also be put to a halt, and some players with an active membership would be refunded<ref>[https://dubblescoop.tumblr.com/post/92886993461/cubey-hq-announcement Dubble Scoop blog post announcing the game's closure.] Retrieved 24 Aug '21</ref> After the announcement was made, the game was finally closed for good on the midnight of July 31st.<ref>[https://dubblescoop.tumblr.com/post/93465501436/oh-star86-you-have-been-such-an-adventure-a-big Dubble Scoop blog post on the day of the game's closure.] Retrieved 24 Aug '21</ref>
 
With the game's existence having mostly fallen into obscurity, no known build of the game has resurfaced anywhere, and all of its assets were never preserved. A lot of accounts related to the game have not been active since the game's closure. Outside of various scattered screenshots and videos, all that was left of it are some official music, as well as a huge majority of songs that were made by various players. However, another game by Drumleaf, ''Universe City'', seemed to have borrowed a lot of assets from Star86, but the game itself was probably never released.<ref>[https://drumleaf.com/project/universe-city/ Page about Universe City on Drumleaf's website.] Retrieved 24 Aug '21</ref> outside of screenshots and its core aspect involving taking jobs such as a doctor and astronaut, little is known about it.

Fire Emblem: Three Houses is the sixteenth mainline title released in the long-running Fire Emblem franchise, as well as the first home console title since Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn for the Wii in 2007. As usual for most games, it takes place in a new continuity separate from previous ones, now being set in the Continent of Fódlan. The player controls Byleth, as they work as a teacher of one of the three classes, with one of them being the Black Eagles, lead by Edelgard, who serves as one of the game's lord characters. However, she becomes the new emperor of Adrestia, and launches a full-scale war on the entire continent. Depending on what class was chosen, Byleth could either side with Edelgard or go up against her.

The Recordings

As seen in the game's first E3 trailer from 2018, while this does not apply to the Japanese dub, Edelgard's English voice in the trailer sounded a lot more different than the final. Around the time of the initial announcement, Cristina Vee confirmed that she will be voicing the character in the game, and is looking forward to its launch.[1] However, almost a year after the trailer was released, when a user via a now-deleted reply asked her if she is still being casted as Edelgard, Vee later confirmed that she no longer casted to voice the character,[2] having been replaced by another actress, Tara Platt, in the final version of the game. She was never told or offered to reaudition for her, and it is unknown if she did any voice recordings for Edelgard's appearance in the Fire Emblem Heroes mobile game, despite having also voiced other characters for that game as well.

Since her replacement, all that was left of Vee's performance were some recordings that can be heard
