Emperor Hardin Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 (edited) Lancer just makes things complicated by causing confusion with other classes like Holy Lancer. Besides Lancer is obviously Soldier, even wearing the same uniform. Why didn't they do what they did with Rod Knight(became Troubadour), Trueblade(into Swordmaster), Axe Fighter(Into Fighter), and Bowman(into Archer)? Finally where was it confirmed, they kept the name Lancer? Edited February 1, 2016 by Emperor Hardin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riolumaster Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Actually Lancer Fighter is now Spear Fighter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperor Hardin Posted February 1, 2016 Author Share Posted February 1, 2016 You tell me. The name chart currently says it, I'm wondering what footage or screen confirmed it. Actually Lancer Fighter is now Spear Fighter. Right, I mean the Nohr Soldier when I say Lancer. See this is why it should be called Soldier.

Radiance Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Well I think it had to do with Soldiers rarely being playable characters. Due to them being a class in both sides, Lancer seems to work well. Soldiers are rare to have as playable units other than Allies or Enemies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soldiers are rare to have as playable units other than Allies or Enemies Lancers aren't a regular playable class usable by non generic characters, so that makes keeping the name Lancer make even less sense.

riolumaster Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 I think it was confirmed in the E3 Treehouse video in June. But then again, they still called daggars "kunai" back then too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iscaneus Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Just to chime in, Holy Lancer is not the confirmed NOA name for that class. We still have yet to hear what they'll go with. With these games IS seems to want to further differentiate the two nations. Hence samurai instead of myrmidon, despite samurai clearly being this game's myrmidon (which, by the by, have traditionally been called sword fighters in the Japanese games). And in the end anything could go since pegasus knights were renamed pegasus warriors in the Japanese version, which were renamed sky knights in the NOA version.

Emperor Hardin Posted February 2, 2016 Author Share Posted February 2, 2016 I'm talking about the soldier class for Nohr essentially. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VincentASM Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 (edited) I'm talking about the soldier class for Nohr essentially. It was in the Treehouse footage. Maybe it's name has been changed, but I don't think there are any Lancers in the recent footage. "Holy Lancer" is just a transitional name to tide us over until we got the official English name. Chances are it'll be Spearmaster or something else entirely. Edited February 2, 2016 by VincentASM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRDRHAWK Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 see can I make one of them yell WAGA ARUJI or- I dunno, perhaps the fact that technically everyone is a soldier in the army at this point, especially in Nohr, made them think it was a stupid class name since it just seemed redundant? I never cared about the name or the class, and Lancer seems fine since they're making it more of a direct counterpart to the Spear Fighter on Hoshido's side.

Rapier Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 What I'm finding odd is that they didn't name the Hoshidan "lancers" as Naginata Fighters, or something like that. They've also missed a perfect cultural reference by not naming Sky Knights as Tenma Knights... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ebony Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 see can I make one of them yell WAGA ARUJI or- only if they're in a skin tight body suit It was in the Treehouse footage. Maybe it's name has been changed, but I don't think there are any Lancers in the recent footage. "Holy Lancer" is just a transitional name to tide us over until we got the official English name. Chances are it'll be Spearmaster or something else entirely. I didn't catch it either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
