Will Soldiers/Halberdiers appear

[Emperor Hardin]

I've been wondering if Soldiers and Halberdiers will appear as a playable class and I noticed something in a screenshot.

In this picture of the world map, there is an ally onfoot Lance user on the map. The lack of face concealing armor and the overall sprite suggests that this Lance unit is not enemy fodder.

I've also noticed in this map screenshot that a Paladin(possibly Frederick) is wielding an axe as its default weapon. This indicates the presence of Great Knights/Axe Paladins.

If these are playable classes, I hope MyUnit can be a soldier or an Axe Knight.

Um... I don't think that's a lance the green unit is holding in the first screen. The map sprite appears to have a ponytail and seems to be wearing a robe of some sort. I'm more inclined to think that's a staff.

It looks far too pointy to me to be a stave?

What do you think of the Axe wielding Paladin?

I'm pretty sure thats a Lance that Green Unit is holding and I see Liz's map sprite is holding a staff that have the red on top.

And I think this Enemy Unit from the trailer that might be a Soldier.

That cavalier could be either a Great Knight or a Paladin with Axes. I kind of lean towards the latter.

Paladins have been able to use Axes in the past. Though I think a lot of people have speculated that Frederick is a GK before, and I think that's fairly probable.
