It will be in the description by the side of the screenshot and that's really blurry.
I can barely make out the class names.
I can definitely see Paladin. I think the armoured one is Phalanx. The black robe one night be Warlock and white robe seems like Bishop.
Left of Phalanx I can't tell but it's probably Hero? It has two kanji symbols that might be Yuusha. No idea what the Gauntlet (?) class is called.
Thank you.
Was just in a discussion over whether or not Hero was male exclusive and the 3rd tier healing class female exclusive, so was a bit worried. Brought this up elsewhere and it was pointed out to me the gender descriptor would only be one or two characters and very hard to spot.

Another article coming up. This time featuring I assume to be Combat Arts, and Tier 3 classes. Neat
Can anybody look at this and try to decipher if Hero and Bishop or whatever are gender exclusive?

From what people are saying (and from what garbled google translate results seem to corroborate), NIS had a massive stock sale and has quintupled the executive pay-cap.
Seems like they're a sinking ship and the higher-ups just want to grab as much loot as they can before it's sunk.

Minecraft is certainly huge but being huge doesn't mean you're automatically a good fit for Smash Bros.
Smash is undeniably a very character driven game. Minecraft may be huge but....is Steve? Does anyone really care about Steve? Now I'm not the biggest expert on Minecraft but as far as I know he's just the default player avatar. People love what you can do in Minecraft but I doubt any Minecraft player is super invested in Steve.
So on that front Steve probably isn't a very solid pick. Banjo was big at a time the industry was a lot smaller and has practically died but he still got a lot going for him. A lot of Nintendo fans very vocally still care for him, he's a good representation for an important era in Nintendo's history and its really easy making moves for him
Everything that can be said about Steve can be fired Villager's way. Didn't stop the Villager from having a creative moveset.

Yes, and that difference happens to be me paying for said thing in a season pass.
And 'screwed over?' Let's get real. Steve didn't win a Smash ballot. He was never entitled to be in. No one is shutting down Minecraft. He just didn't get in a game that he was never guaranteed to get in to begin with.
And Minecraft isn't the single most prolific game in existence... wait. It's an infinitely bigger and more relevant game than Banjo's entire series ever was, being an indie game that over a period of less than 15 years has become the single most prolific game ever made.
I personally don't care for Banjo, but I'm not running around trying to rain on the parade of people who are excited for him.
Yet it seems like instead of just being happy they got their character in, many Banjo fans have to go out of their way to bitch about a far more popular character relevant to gaming history and rife with moveset potential not getting in. -

Not 'other Microsoft IPs.' Just that one.
I can like what I like and dislike what I dislike. Just like everyone else. And I personally can't stand the self-righteous types who pretend that there is anything wrong with that. Good day, sir.
There's a difference between saying "I personally don't like this" and "FUCK THIS, I'm glad it got screwed over".

I love it. They add great and vibrant stagea and iconic soundtracks. They make my gaming family very happy. Both deserve to be in, and both look and feel right for this game.
And the Steve leaks being fake was a miracle in itself. Fuck Steve.
And this is why I personally can't stand a lot of Banjo fans. Their absolute hatred and mockery of other Microsoft IPs that are infinitely larger than the one they happened to grow up with.

Mercedes is looking very much like an Askr unit here:
the tip of her ponytail even appears to be pink like Sharena's hair -

Nope. Lord has a sword, lance, and authority preference for all three lords. It threw me through a loop when I first noticed.
...The hell?
That's... a mistake, right? It's gotta be... .

Nothing supernatural, though. If her Paragon skill is hinting anything. Either she's prepubescent or she's flat.
She's a Cordelia expy.
Take a guess which it is.

Poor Dimitri, he got shafted wiht his lord promotion, it gives you Swords and lances, but his main weapon is already a lance....
...Everyone of them keeps their main weapon and gains a Sword and Authority preference on promotion.
Don't know what you're saying.
-
All the protags seem to promote into "Lord" and gain Sword and Authority bonuses on top of their main weapons.
Thieves can now use Bows and Archers can now use Swords, which PKs also can use now (and are back to being female only). Knights also pick up Axes by default. PKs have Canto and apparently Armored units don't learn class skills?

Please don't reduce those villains to "extremely bad evil guys". They're leagues better than Validar and the Fates crew, as well as Surtr and so far the Hel team. Dark mages and a dragon king look inherently evil, yes, but come on, it's a horned skull helmet. There's zero room for subtlety or nuance there. Apparently he's some god of death, so if we're going around fighting the gods of Fodlan then I can see potential, but for a normal person that armour is ridiculous.
(You also forgot about Jedah, who's pretty cartoonish).
They're hardly better, with throwaway motivations and still looking obviously evil. I don't see how a horned skull helmet is much more on the nose than giant evil grin and spikey shoulderpads.
Besides, since NOE's facebook advertisement for the game already confirmed the Church is going to be our main villains, these guys are probably gonna end up with at least attempted sympathy and might actually be recruitable-- as they're stated to have a serious grudge against the church and the monastery.
They're far more likely to be attempted anti-villains/anti-heroes in the end.(Also all the SF translation is calling him the "Reaper Knight"-- the "death god" bit probably comes from the Japanese text likely calling him a "Shinigami", which is literally "death god" but 95% of the time gets translated as "reaper")

all of those are better than garon and validar
Gharnef is literally the first villain in the franchise and he has black skin and distorted facial features, Ashnard has the smug look of a crazed maniac by default and is wearing spiked armor, Nergal's got the evil Shaman look to a T and is named after a Mesopotamian god of pestilence, and Izuka is an ugly hunchback with emaciated skin.
The series has had plenty of obviously evil looking antagonists from the start.

Loving the look of those two bad(?) guys. Almost feels like SMTxFE all over again.?
Someone in the FEW Discord server's gut reaction was to call them SMT characters, as well.

Uh. That guy literally has a skull helmet. Wonder if he's recruitable? Smh I really hope they aren't continuing with the 3DS tradition of having extremely bad evil guys for villains.
So Gharnef, Ashnard, Izuka, and Nergal just don't exist now, huh?

They're walking things back:

"Hey guys, I know I posted a lot of questionable/exciting stuff, but since I'm not 100% sure myself, I've decided to refrain from posting any further to avoid any misconceptions about the game. I wanted you guys to know that I'm still going to be active on this account, I just don't want to answer any questions or comments about the leak. I've been getting both positive and negative responses to the leak and I am very appreciative of those who have been kind to me and been cautiously skeptical but respectful of me... however the response has been overwhelming for me and I will no longer be discussing the leak in any way, shape, or form until the game's release. I will still be talking about official 3H news though! Thank you!" -
And we continue to be even more obvious than Pokemon was with the Aether Foundation.

That seems... uh, extraordinarily unlikely. It's doubtful it's even gone gold yet, let alone gone into distribution. We're over two months out.
Retail copies of Kingdom Hearts 3 got leaked nearly 2 months before release. So there's some sort of precedence this far out.
Regardless, it seems like this instance is probably a listing error.

I get the feeling Thieves will probably have Swords and Bows off the bat, by virtue of pretty much being Tier 2 classes (the same way Mercenary now has Axes from Hero).
If I had to extrapolate a bit and mix in some of my own wants:
> Myrmidon: Swords
>> Mercenary: Swords and Axes
>>>Swordmaster: Swords
>>>Hero: Swords and Axes, Authority bonus
>>Thief: Swords and Bows
>>>Assassin: Swords and Bows
>>>Horseman: Swords and Bows, mounted>>Griffon Rider: Swords, flying
>>>Griffon Knight: Swords and Bows, flying
>>>Griffon Lord: Swords, flying, Authority bonus
>Fighter: Bows, Axes, Gauntlets>>Archer: Bows
>>>Sniper: Bows, Authority bonus
>>>Horseman: Swords and Bows, mounted>>Brigand: Axes and Gauntlets
>>>Warrior: Axes and Bows
>>>Berserker: Axes and Gauntlets>>Fistfighter: Gauntlets and Axes
>>>"Pugilist": Gauntlets
>>>Berserker: Axes and Gauntlets>>Wyvern Rider: Axes and Lances, flying
>>>Wyvern Lord: Axes and Lances, flying, Authority bonus
>>>Malig Knight: Axes and Anima magic, flying
>Soldier: Lances
>>Cavalier: Lances and Swords, mounted
>>>Paladin: Lances and Swords, mounted, Authority bonus
>>>Great Knight: Lances, Swords, and Axes>>Knight: Lances and Axes
>>>General: Lances and Axes, Authority bonus
>>>Great Knight: Lances, Swords, and Axes>>Pegasus Knight: Lances, flier
>>>Falcoknight: Lances and Swords, flier
>>>Dark Flier: Lances and Anima magic, flier
>Monk: Anima/Light magic/Dark magic
>>Mage: Anima magic
>>>Sage: Anima and Light magic
>>>Dark Knight: Anima and Swords, mounted>>Priest: Light Magic
>>>Sage: Anima and Light magic
>>>War Monk: Moderate proficiency in every melee weapon, Light magic>>>Strategist: Anima and Light magic, mounted, Authority bonus
>>Dark Mage: Dark and Anima magic
>>>Dark Knight: Anima and Swords, mounted (and since equippable weapon types aren't dependent on class they could still use Dark magic!)
>>>Sorceror: Dark and Anima magic, Authority bonus -

The focus is on the school right now. I don't like school settings in general. Thus, a little bit of logic says that this reaction from me is natural. I may be a mod, but I'm also a person, with likes and dislikes. Video game schools as a main setting just so happens to be one of my dislikes.
Perhaps I'll feel better when the focus shifts to other things. Or perhaps not. Only time will tell.
The last Famitsu article talked about Skills, Crests, Battalions, and several classes as well as some backstory/worldbuilding. Most of the academy stuff is about managing your units' growth.
Most of the focus is on the main gameplay and unit customization-- just because there's an academy skin over the latter, you're "the most apprehensive you've ever been about a game in the series"?
Again, feels kinda shallow.

I've seen claims of Edelgard being shown with a D-rank in Armor in one screen, but I can't seem to find it.
1 more DLC characters, place your bets now. Seems we're only getting third parties this time round
in Super Smash Bros.

I'm just gonna play it safe and say two of Capcom, Namco, Bethesda, and Ubisoft are getting characters in.
...Honestly, it's a bit hard to make rational predictions at this point after Nintendo proved "bringing in new audiences" was meaningless PR and went for stroking nostalgia boners with Banjo.
