I was quite struck by this throwaway idea that came up in another thread for an East Asian inspired Fire Emblem setting which threw out most of the traditional weapon types and replaces them with gauntlets and hidden weapons and stuff. So I decided to run with it. This idea is obviously like Fire Emblem but I decided I might as well do whatever I feel like and not worry too much about keeping in line with the previous conventions. Many of these changes are mentioned in the description of weapon types, but here's a few changes I "decided on" while describing the weapon types:
Magic and Strength are unified into a single stat. Resistance is gone because it was super low for most units anyway. Reducing magical damage is now done strictly through skills.
Each of these weapons and classes get fancy Asiatic names for theming reasons. Most of these names are Japanese derived because laziness, but a few are Korean derived.
Weapon weight is FE4 style, being subtracted directly from speed.

Here's a description of the weapon types and classes which are associated with them:

I was also thinking of this other class called Geobukseon. Similar to Engineers, these guys don't promote. They are a heavily armored class of physical tanks wielding katanas, because spears aren't a thing here because I said so. There is a specific nation characterized by their defensive tactics and use of Geobukseon. The other defining class of this nation is Engineers.
