Why, pray tell, does the Bride class use such an odd variety of weapons?
Staves make perfect sense for the blessed, holy woman.
But lances?
...And then bows?
Especially seeing as Eirika is their first example...and she doesn't wield any of those weapons, if I'm not mistaken, even when she promoted. (On another note, this game did give her a raw deal, even if she isn't all that bright.)
It seems to me that the most fitting weapons of that class would have been Tomes and Swords, if it must be three. There is no class in the either game that can use both Tomes, Staves, and any sort of melee weapon - and methinks such a unit would be incredibly useful. And seeing as the Bride is DLC, I'd certainly hope the class would actually be useful.
When I saw their weapons, I honestly became a little dubious.
Beyond that, I'm not quite sure why IS thought a woman in an enormous dress would be using bows and lances; if for nothing but conceptual design and aesthetic reasons, it doesn't seem to make much sense.
All and all, I'm rather disappointed, and I haven't even got the class yet.
And then there's the Dread Fighter. While I frankly think this class is a great (if not OP) class the fact that it's male only is just heartbreaking.
