Fire Emblem: Three Houses

I have a couple of questions.

First, in this game, you become...a teacher, correct?

And second, is "Phoenix Mode" confirmed? If not, I'll pass on this game.

1. Yes.
2. There'll most definitely be a casual mode, not sure if they'll bring back phoenix mode exactly. Even if they don't, you'll still be able to keep your units after completing a map anyway if you play through casual, so it shouldn't matter I'm sure.

What if the final boss wipes out my whole team?

Then you try again, maybe try a different strategy or use different characters.

Or realize I'd wasted money as I'd have to restart the game because my pairing up my own character with the hot chick ended up being a mistake even though I like that couple, and then sell the game after?

Why would you feel that you need to return the game just cause you lost the final battle? If there is a similar mechanic of pair up with buffs in this game, you don't have to restart and use a different pairing lmao, just use the same pairing but a different strategy and/or characters. A lot of people pair off their avatar for characters they simply like, no different from what you do.

I like the setting thus far, we already got a continent name, a greil knockoff, a name derived from mythology, and a decent worldbuilding within the first minute alone which is what makes me hopeful.

And if I can't win no matter what strategy I use?

that's theoretically impossible in any FE game, the game's whole philosophy like most SRPGs is that you can always win with a strategy if you try your hardest, even if you think you're stuck in a rut mechanics wise chances are you're not. I speak from experience in FFT ps1, which is a brutally hard SRPG but comes with that ideal in mind and I managed winning the game with low tier jobs and no named characters besides ramza. the only SRPG I believe doesn't follow that philosophy is super robot wars.
like I get you don't want permadeath, but casual mode is a good replacement for permadeath while keeping the strategic elements of an SRPG, I beat new mystery of the emblem on causal, and that game is considered really difficult for a new player, it was my first FE so I made very unoptimal plays according to the fanbase but still ended up winning.
just do what you like

I'll think about it.
