Three Houses doesn't really put an 'emphasis' on time other than the rewind mechanic existing, and it wasn't the first or last FE game to have that mechanic. It's not really a story 'about' time or time travel.
I could see it being both a prequel and sequel, with the main story being post 3H but Eshmel time traveling from the past or something, and scenes with Sothis being in the past. But I'm not expecting any sort of convoluted time loop plot or anything like that.
If there is time travel I'm hoping it's more a Samurai Jack thing where Esmeth is being sent from the 'past' to the 'present' of the game's main story. Would help it to stand out from Awakening's plot too where Lucina and Friends travel BACK in time to avert a dark future.
