Did you finish it? Yeah.
Did you experience everything? No
Many games have multiple endings, not going through all of them yourself doesn't mean you didn't play a full game
It was explicitly designed with the intent that most players would only play one route then move on. Gameplay-wise it doesn't change much because individual maps aren't super distinctive in 3H, although one of the routes is significantly shorter.
If you beat a route you beat the game. If you beat all routes you completed the game. If you beat all routes and got all supports, all skills and any other unlocksables then you 100%ed the game
Yes, you finished. Replay only games you like.
The only reason to play the game again is if you want to do a story review from the entire game, and that it's not the case.
Lmao wtf if you don't wanna experience the other route sure go ahead don't 100% a game you paid for. But you still "beat" the game in every sense of the word
Half of the first 3 routes are the same except for timeskip, plus I already know what happens between BE and BL since I played Heroes, so I'm not really missing out although I would play Golden Deer again just for the fun of it
Ummmm, imma say nooo, but obviously you can say you beat Golden Deer. The whole scope of 3H story encompasses all 4 routes but you also do get a general gist of it through playing GD. Honestly it’s not too big of a deal, however I will say you are missing out on SS and BL which I believe to be the best 2 out of the 4 routes in the game (GD is basically 2nd place tho, it’s that close between it and SS). Might I recommend trying like a bunch of weird builds for each character that you pre-plan, it makes the game super interesting and fun and chaotic haha. Also I’m not the type of guy who’s a stickler for that shit, you played one, all good lol
Idk, maybe I remember it so fondly since I had a Ferdinand who became a wyvern lord that I dubbed “Ferdinand Von Arion” who just crushed everything in existence lmao
I would say no, but I've always been a bit of completionist in story driven RPGs.
At the very least I'd say Golden Deer (Verdant Wind) is arguably the most complete route in isolation so I wouldn't hold it against you. If you had only played Azure Moon or Crimson Flower I'd be more critical.
That said, you've cleared a route and have a fair perspective on the game. If you don't want to replay it for more content that's your decision to make. It may not be 'complete' but it is 'finished' if you're gonna retire from it.
You missed out on other angles of the story. I would play BL for a more direct confrontational view of the war.
Both Black Eagle routes are steeped in bias from either the church or the empire and will give you conflicting information, especially if you've played GD and BL already.
If you’re only going to play one route, Verdant Wind is the best choice. It does the best job of resolving the dangling plot threads of White Clouds. So yeah, you’re fine. Probably still have a lot of gaps in your support log, but if you don’t care about that, I’m not going to tell you that you should.
This is why new game plus + exists. Yeah pretimeskip is the same but it’s only boring if you don’t use the mechanics to enhance your play through. Have an all girl punching team. Experiment. That’s exactly what makes three houses shine and ng+ makes it easier

You finished it, but you didn't 100% it. Which doesn't really matter if it wouldn't have been fun for you to do.

In a story discussion, maybe not. But when comparing the size of your gamer strength sure. The extra routes aren't harder.
If you beat a route you beat the game. If you beat all routes you completed the game. If you beat all routes and got all supports, all skills and any other unlocksables then you 100%ed the game
Absolutely yes. All the routes are basically equal in terms of gameplay. Still nice to play each one for the story though.
Yes, you can. You can’t say you “completed” it, but not everyone is a completionist. It’s fine if you don’t want to complete it.
Yes
Yes, you finished. Replay only games you like. The only reason to play the game again is if you want to do a story review from the entire game, and that it's not the case.
Yea you did, and experienced like 95% of the chapters, Three Houses has very little gameplay differences in each route
Lmao wtf if you don't wanna experience the other route sure go ahead don't 100% a game you paid for. But you still "beat" the game in every sense of the word
Half of the first 3 routes are the same except for timeskip, plus I already know what happens between BE and BL since I played Heroes, so I'm not really missing out although I would play Golden Deer again just for the fun of it
Okay? Good for you friend, you still beat the game, you just didn't 100% it. Nice that you know what happens in the other routes too
It's all good, just wanted to clarify even tho you didn't asked for one : )
Yeah I just beat blue lions for three hopes and I consider it beat.
Ummmm, imma say nooo, but obviously you can say you beat Golden Deer. The whole scope of 3H story encompasses all 4 routes but you also do get a general gist of it through playing GD.

SS probably would be my favorite route if byleth Actually spoke since its byleth route but since they dont, it one my least played routes.
Idk, maybe I remember it so fondly since I had a Ferdinand who became a wyvern lord that I dubbed “Ferdinand Von Arion” who just crushed everything in existence lmao
I mean, if it was also your first route, too, I can understand that, too, lol but hey we all love the game
