  1. Well yes, that too, but I doubt that Nohr will have the Oni class... xD
  2. So with Famitsu giving us even more info, it appears that Sorcerers are Nohr-specific as well - meanwhile Hoshido has Oni(which would explain Rinka/Linca's headgear/mask) a unit with high strength and defence. With Oni being so obviously related to Japan, what are everyone's thoughts about new Hoshido-specific classes? (Seeing how Nohr has gotten all horse-mounted units and now sorcerers and Brave Heroes)
  3. Armorslayers, Wyrmslayers, and Rapiers. Case closed. (lol) Edit: and Beastkillers xD
  4. That's a distinct possibility, and if I'm honest, the most likely scenario. Still, I do enjoy the idea that some classes are not available for one faction or the other.
  5. Most likely. I'm just optimistic. Still, I don't mind if there's no faction-locked classes (but they better make sure a Hoshido paladin for example looks eastern) but it would be interesting since it not only further shows the differences between the two nations, it'll add new strategies to each side.
  6. Ninjas, Swordmasters, Pegasus Knights, and whatever class Orochi is - if her spell is of any indication, I'm guessing she's a new class. I'm probably wrong, though. Sure, Nohr get "more" class choices, but I'm sure there'll be 1 or 2 new classes in Hoshido.
  7. Yeah, of course you'll be able to get those classes by the examples you just gave - I meant that, initially, your side won't have certain classes in their ranks (like, we won't see pegasus knights amongst the Nohr army) but certain characters will be recruitable. However, I don't think, for example, that pure Hoshido characters will be able to change cinto Nohr-themes classes, such as knights and cavaliers. It'll be bound to those few that you recruit.
  8. I absolutely agree. Edit: That's possibly how it's going to be - some classes aren't available on your faction, but you can recruit one or two from the opposite one, giving you access to all classes but keeping it limited.
  9. Hmm, true. That sprite however appears as an enemy as well, so maybe factions can recruit characters from the opposite one? He looks Nohrian to me and it's possible we have already seen him in-game; I have yet to see a Hoshido style cavalier and a Nohrian styled swordmaster.
  10. I would like to add my two cents and simply say; I understand what shadowofchaos is saying - I really do, despite butting heads earlier. But in the end, it does suck that Europe has to wait months extra, especially when I - who lives in Scandinavia - don't need the french, spanish, or german languages. As long as it's english, I could play it. I really hope it's not a repeat of Awakening's release gaps this time, rather the release of both N.A and EU are the same. It's not the best example, but Hyrule Warriors for examlpe came out in Europe first - 1 week before N.A. And it was translated to French and German as well, and there's a lot of text in that game. It's not impossible. But oh well. We still have to play the waiting game; I doubt they talk about western release during this year's E3.
  11. Hi, Kagehoshi here again - you might remember me as the one who ranted on a different topic about the release date gap. Anywho, I'm not here to rant, I just wish to talk about something I picked up on after having watched the trailers/screenshot a lot, and I want to hear everyone's thoughts. My apologies for the lengthy post. Screenshots I'm mentioning can be found on this site under "Images and Videos." Something I would like to point out (and I'm most likely not the first to think of it) is that there might not be any gender-locked classes in FE:if, but rather, faction-locked; Amongst Hoshido's forces (seen in screenshots etc.) we see mymidons and swordmasters, based on their battle stance (same as Awakening) which fits with how someone would wield a katana. We also see assassins on the Hoshido side, as they share the same sprites from Awakening again, but we don't see any cavaliers at all. Ryoma himself looks like a swordmaster, same stance and all. On the Nohr side, however (screenshots, again) we see that there are no assassins/swordmasters/myrmidons around - only knights and cavaliers. My theory/speculation is that the myrmidons/assassins/swordmasters will be for Hoshido only since they're more reminiscent to samurais and ninjas, which goes with the "feudal Japan" feel on Hoshido, while cavaliers, knights, great knights, and paladins will be exclusive to Nohr as they traditionally look more western/european in appearance, which goes with the western influence of Nohr. We don't see any of these classes on the opposite sides at all so far - so if certain classes are faction-locked, it could explain why we might see male pegasus knights and female warriors (Rinka, the horned-masked girl seen in trailers, screenshots, and next toRyoma as he tells Kamui about being his brother, appears to be a warrior with a kanabo - the eastern version of an axe - her attack animation is just like warriors/berserkers in Awakening); it would still give your forces more class options despite that some are exlcusive to the opposite faction. It does makes sense, in the way that a knight, with it's western-inspired armour, would look outlandish on Hoshido's side, while a ninja/assassin (Saizou being an example, appearance wise) would look strange in the Nohr army. Again, before people bash me, remember that we don't see any of these classes in the opposite faction; all screenshots show these classes fighting the other side, such as knights and cavaliers agains myrmidons/swordmasters, and the only assassin sprites are shown with other Hoshido characters. Hell, maybe even Dark Knights will only be for Nohr as well? We know that Leon is a Dark Knight, and we've seen (appearance wise, at least) Dark Knights being the enemy in screenshot and the first trailer, at least. Your thoughts? EDIT: Someone pointed out that perhaps it was just showcased to look like there were faction-locked classes, but in the second trailer (speficially, when both your families beckons you to their side) you can see Hoshido's and Nohr's armies in the background - Nohr has soldiers similar to Awakening with their western style, complese with lances, while Hoshido show katana-wielding myrmidons as their main force, further supporting my theory. However, there's a possibility that you can recruit units from the opposite faction, as seen on these screenshots: http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/fireemblem/images/7/70/Saizou_sprite.png/revision/latest?cb=20150410071751 http://serenesforest.net/wp-content/gallery/january-2015-nintendo-direct/Jan_006.jpg Notice how the sprite is the same - first, a Nohrian marked as red, the standard colour of enemies in the series, and in the next, blue - he's with you. It's not a stretch to say that the only way you could get your faction's missing classes is by recruiting them from the opposite side?
  12. Whatever, mate. It wasn't my intention to be sassy either. Water under the bridge and all that. As long as I'll be able to buy all 3 paths (whenever the game comes out in Europe...) I'll be happy.
  13. Alright, alright. Fine, I admit, I was wrong. I was under the impression that the third path would be available immediately as well. You're right, I'm dead-wrong. Happy now? So, what? No third path for special editon (or however they arrange it in the west) when it comes to N.A/EU? Because they're going to take that long to add it? I don't even know or care anymore. I've been declared an idiot/ignorant prick too much for one session as it is.
  14. What "page"? "A downloadable version that will let you choose your path at the beginning..." ? Again, not sure what you're on about. And I see now, same name, so you translated and uploaded it, huh? That's swell. So, again... what are you on about? Nowhere in the video do they state that the third path won't be on the special edition.
  15. As I don't know Japanese, I can't say I have, so NO. All I could find is a translated version on youtube, where they state, and I quote; "and a Special Pack contains Byakuya, Anya, the third DLC path, and bonuses will be available." So I don't know what you're on about. That doesn't change, however, that the third path will be out before this year ends. So here in the west, we'll be able to get all 3 paths upon launch.
  16. The thing you bought? Wat. Anywho, no. They'll have a special edition with all 3 paths at launch, or shortly after that. My point is that the special edition with all 3 will have been out in Japan long before this year is over, and I'm sure we'll get it over here as well.
  17. With risk of changing the subject, I just wanted to point out (which many of you might already know) that the Dark Prince class was Julius' class in "Genealogy of the Holy War" - it could just be a coincidence, but Julius was a vessel to an evil earth dragon, no? Maybe Kamui's dragon form is linked to that, somehow...? Either way, I'm inclined to agree that Kamui is a manakete - people have already pointed it out, but Kamui does have pointed ears for a reason.
  18. Not yet, no. But given the gap, the special edition bundle with all 3 paths that will be out in Japan on June 25 will most likely be carried over to the west. Not for the price of one, no, I don't believe that, but they've stated that the 3 path edition will come out at least shortly after Japan's launch.
  19. Well, I do have the two FE games from eshop still lingering around on my wiiu...
  20. You know, the more replies I get, the more I start to feel like a jerk for complaining.
