ArsSanctum Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 I don't know if anyone has talked about it, as it is really easy to miss, but we actually have confirmation that shields are returning - but this time they can be equipped alongside weapons. It is the item Ignatz steals from Dedue here. The shield on Dedue's map model even changes after Ignatz steals it. It is hard to see, but Ignatz actually equips the shield as well, but I don't see his model change at all. Maybe only classes that have shields on their models normally get different shield looks for equipping them? Also we get to see Dedue as a "third army" unit. Canon classes are also a confirmed thing - which makes sense given other house students may/will be enemies post-time skip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyHawlucha. Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 If you slow the clip down, right at the end of the video there's a frame where you get to see Ignatz equip the shield; kind of deconfirming my hope that they're armoured unit exclusive.

Yeah. At first I was hoping it would be something to make up for their lack of class skills. Ah well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they already rectified it, I slowed it down as much as possible and saw nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VincentASM Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 16 minutes ago, thecrimsonflash said: I think they already rectified it, I slowed it down as much as possible and saw nothing. It's still there. The video hasn't been re-uploaded and I doubt they'd do that for something this minor. It's literally a few frames and very easy to miss on YouTube. Basically, it's the game auto-equipping an item after using the trade function, like in earlier games. Since stealing is the same as trading. Also, that's a Leather Shield, in case anybody was wondering. For now, it seems like they're going for Echoes's shield system. Huh, that's yet another thing they're borrowing.

There's a small E that appears next to the Shield in Ignatz's inventory when he steals it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Etrurian emperor Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Interesting. It seems like you get joint class missions. That's cool. And poor Dedue. He helps out the Golden Deers and gets robbed for his trouble. Bad Igmatz! Bad boy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpiceMan Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Yellow doesn't mean they are your allies. The only time we have seen yellow colouring in this game is with the king of beasts who was a neutral enemy that could be attacked by both Blue units and the Red units. So Dedue isn't helping you. he is fighting you as yellow is just another enemy type. Your allies are still represented by Green. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyHawlucha. Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 I think that map is all 3 houses against one another in a free for all style setting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can see that he's targeting Leonie, so he's an enemy here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
link16hit Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 I think yellow team is like in Advance Wars : Another team. Also, we know there is three houses, so we probably 2 different color for these houses. (I imagine a map with 2 different color) I'm glad that accessory is back!

Owain Dark Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Yellow units remind me of Tellius, there were yellow units too, but I think they've kinda helped you and you could command them. Maybe that mechanic is back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marros Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 (edited) I'm just hoping Shields show up in the models for non-armor classes, might even give new animations at least for infantry. Edited June 14, 2019 by Marros Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpiceMan Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 Blue = Player units, they can attack Red and Yellow units. Red = Enemy team #1, they can attack Blue, Green and Yellow units. Yellow = Enemy team #2, they can attack Blue, Green and Red units. Green = Allied Blue team = they can attack Red and Yellow units. Yellow is 100% just another enemy faction so we can have 3 sided battles. If they were on your side they would be green. This isn't like genealogy or Tellius' approach to yellow units, it's advance wars and wargrooves' approach. The yellow phase is clearly listed as enemy phase.

For a split second after Ignatz steals tge shield, you can see it on his model so yes I’m pretty sure they will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yeah you’re right I checked again and I thought I saw him equip it but I was wrong. I’d still say it’s pretty probable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
