BlueL Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Besides looking at the promotion branches, I think you should consider the class parallels between Nohr and Hoshido too. Songstress / Dark Prince Myrmidon / Mercenary Lancer / Knight Oni / Fighter Bowman / Thief Spellcaster / Dark Mage Priestess / Rod Knight Pegasus Warrior / Wyvern Rider Ninja / Cavalier ? Fox Spirit / Garou But you're right, even if every known base class got two promotions (unlikely, but possible...), that's still not 60 classes, unless Fox Spirit and Garou can promote too. I guess Amiibo classes could count, but that almost seems like a cheat, especially if they're exclusive to those characters. Maybe there are more odds and ends we haven't seen, like the Villager? Oh yeah, I guess Nohr probably gets its own "trainee" class. They might be including DLC only classes like the Dread Fighter and Bride from Awakening.

NeonZ Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 (edited) IS wouldn't include DLC in a classes in a count for the base game. It's possible that Garu and Fox Spirit will have promotions, considering how Dark Prince also is a transforming class and it has a promotion.

That's an interesting thing I didn't consider...I wonder what promotion would do for them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodperson707 Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 ^ not much probably, probably just better base and max stats. The thing with is that they probably will have 5 mov unpromoted in that case, which i think is one of the reasons that kamui has a promotion, to make him/her have 5 mov and limiting promotion bonuses till you get master seals. And the tradition since thracia of starting the lord unpromoted of course. Tbh I don't think kaimui is that valid of a precedent for promoted shifters.

NekoKnight Posted June 13, 2015 Author Share Posted June 13, 2015 ^^ i don't think they would give Hoshido a nomad like class, from what we have seen the only horse classes in Hoshido are pegasi. Despite irl Japanese horse fighters, it appears so far they want non pegasi horses to be a Nohr thing. I don't think it is a coincidence that the nohrian siblings are all riders, horses seem to be a status symbol there. I'd rather they give us interesting classes that make sense than commit to a minor theme for...reasons. Nohr can keep it's heavy cavalry, not!Japan Hoshido deserves some mounted archers.

MajorMajora Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 I'm confused. Why would thief and Merc share the bow knight? WOuldn't that be shared by the merc and acrher? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunwoo Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 The conventional archer is apparently a Hoshido exclusive class, while thieves now wield solely bows, making them the "archers" of Nohr. Does anyone else think that it's possible that the Hoshido archers will promote into the bow-wielding pegasus unit since all of the actual horses are in Nohr?

goodperson707 Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 (edited) ^^ i doubt they would have branch promotions between a Nohr class and a Hoshido class. Plus there don't seem to be non Pegasi horses in Hoshido. Edit Ninjed. Edited June 14, 2015 by goodperson707 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DualMix Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 I'm confused. Why would thief and Merc share the bow knight? WOuldn't that be shared by the merc and acrher? Perhaps because thieves only use bows now? Does anyone else think that it's possible that the Hoshido archers will promote into the bow-wielding pegasus unit since all of the actual horses are in Nohr? That makes sense, but I dunno if they would do that. Archers can turn into bow knights so they'd probably keep that there instead of a pegasus archer.

goodperson707 Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 ^ yes yes it was. Sorry about that. But on pegasus knights, i wouln't mind that, we i don't think we had a class branch to peg before, i kinda like it. Only thing pegs are kinda parallel to wyvern knights and i can't think of a class to branch to a promoted wyvern class. Unless revenant knight uses magic but even then dark mages already have 2... Unless dark knight is a base class? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mackc2 Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Dammit cant IS give us a class tree or something this is extremely confusing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mysterique Sign Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Dammit cant IS give us a class tree or something this is extremely confusing They'll probably give us a Class trailer right before the game comes out like they did with Awakening Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egobarrier Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 The conventional archer is apparently a Hoshido exclusive class, while thieves now wield solely bows, making them the "archers" of Nohr. Does anyone else think that it's possible that the Hoshido archers will promote into the bow-wielding pegasus unit since all of the actual horses are in Nohr? I feel like the Pegasus units will have their own class tree like they did in Awakening just because I find a land unit promoting to a flying unit to be too big a change (it also parallels my assumption that Wyvern Rider is by itself and promotes to Wyvern Lord or Revenant Knight). I think Bowman to Sakura's Staff+Bow promotion makes more sense, along with Sniper (or whatever they want to call it in Hoshido). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vineron Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Euurgh bow locked thieves? I just can't stand to use bows, though maybe my opinion will change come If's release considering all the other ranged weapons nerf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NekoKnight Posted June 14, 2015 Author Share Posted June 14, 2015 I hope a lot of these base classes get at least one unique promotion. Thieves promoting to Bow Knights just feels so wrong. A promotion should share more than a weapon type, they should share a theme with their base class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eveangaline Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 I actually love the theives and bows combo since it makes it easier for them to swoop in and steal xp without being put at risk of being hit by their opponent and squished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayra Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 I'm pretty sure that ninjas will be the ones opening doors for Hoshido. Ninjas were mostly spies and infiltrator: unlocking doors goes right along with that. I think horse archers will be on the Hoshido side. I know that all horses so far were on Nohr, but horse archers are really eastern: There's no such thing as a western horse archer anywhere in history (javelin cavalry at best). Even the attack animation for the Awakening horse archer was in the traditional Japanese horse archery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eveangaline Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 The only mounts Hoshido should have are pegasi and creepy puppets and the foxman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
