Three Hopes is pretty much the same, though depending on the path TwSitS are much more significant villains and you can oppose them more directly.I'm still curious, tbh.
The closest thing Hopes has to a clear villain is Byleth - and you can even subvert that if you choose to give up your quest for vengeance and refuse to kill them.
Hopes has a more ambiguous ending, though. The war doesn't actually end, and it's implied things are going to keep happening even after the game ends. And your main character arguably has less influence on the lords you can side with (though it also avoids the time skip, so they also don't have some of the dramatic changes they go through in Houses).
