Shun One Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 I would think it'd be easy to spot if it a lance like Arvilino said. I can't really infer much else that hasn't already been said about the Griffin's. The Wyvern promotion should certainly be interesting if nothing else. It's really just a big question mark at this point. Thinking of a class I didn't ponder upon, Mage -> Sage/Mage Knight? Seems likely with the way things have been going. I would make more guesses about other magic using classes, but with the way magic works being a big "?" for the now, I'll stop there. I'll say these Mage Knight will gain swords upon promotion.

thanibomb Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Let's see. They could make the Pegasus Knights promote to healer and mage classes, while Griffin Knights could promote to an archer class, perhaps being that elusive lance/bow class. Then Griffin Knights and Dracoknights could cover two weapon triangle perspectives with sword/lance and lance/axe, respectively, as has become traditional for different flying classes in recent games. Which just leaves the question of the alternate Dracoknight promotion, which is the same question I've had even before Griffin Knights were introduced. Maybe they won't be an issue at all? A flying archer class? *dies* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I can see the Magic/Weapon triangle is full now Strategist: Sword/Magic Dark Pegasi: Lance/Magic Battle Clerik/Monk : Axe/Staff unless the mage knight is gonna wield Axe then we can exclude the Battle cleric... BTW it seems there's a mercenary class what do you think the branched promotion will be ? Do you think it's Gryphon Rider/Hero ?

Othin Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 (edited) Mage and Troubadour each have two promotions. Certainly, Mages will have a Sage promotion and gain staffs, and Troubadour will have a promotion similar to FE6/7/8 Valkyrie and gain magic. Their other promotions, however, will almost certainly gain physical weapons: Mages will promote to FE4/5-style Mage Knight, probably gaining swords, while Troubadours will promote to a class like FE9/10-style Valkyrie and probably gain swords as well. As I theorized, this seems to be turning into an effort to get all reasonable two-weapon combinations, just as in FE11/12 with all physical weapon combinations. We're now seeing the melee weapons crossed with magic and staffs, but I don't think we'll see bows/magic or bows/staffs; that would just be weird. So we'll probably have something like this: Sword/Magic: Mage Knight Lance/Magic: Dark Pegasus Axe/Magic: ? Sword/Staff: FE9/10 Valkyrie Lance/Staff: Falcon Knight Axe/Staff: Battle Cleric / Battle Monk Strategist is likely being ignored as an MU-exclusive class that other characters can't swap into. I don't know what will wind up with Axe/Magic, but I'm guessing it'll be an alternate promotion for some Dark Mage class. As for the Mercenary class, is there any evidence of that? I don't remember seeing anything other than the existence of the Hero promotion; Myrmidon could very well promote to that.

StrategistPockystix Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 (edited) I'd actually like it if the Dark Mages used axes. . . just seems fitting (give 'em a unique scythe-like axe, or something) Edited March 23, 2012 by StrategistPockystix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Othin Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Weapons seem to have individual skins like in FE9/10, so I don't think we'll see a visual change like that, at least not in the battle sprites. But yeah, unless Mages are the only (non-MU) Tier 1 magic class, which seems unlikely, we'll probably see some class along those lines, and that's pretty much an obligatory promotion. And if they are going for an axe/magic class, I think it's a safe bet that the Tier 1 will be the magic side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I wonder how well we'll be able to use swords and spells. Edited March 23, 2012 by StrategistPockystix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Book of Ereshkigal Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 (edited) Hmm, I wonder if units are limited to one S rank or not? or whatever the max rank is in this game Edited March 23, 2012 by L95 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrategistPockystix Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Hmm, I wonder if units are limited to one S rank or not? or whatever the max rank is in this game Well, unless they decide to make characters just good with a weapon from the start, we'll probably go with the standard S. . . though, they have shown that stats get pretty big. . . so maybe SS?

Othin Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Hmm. I recall reading something about Horseman using swords/bows and Generals using lances/axes. Does anyone know the source for this? I want to look into it; it seems especially odd if lances and axes are supposed to be Generals' only weapons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Othin Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 (edited) Looks like you're right. Well, with the Horseman/Ranger class returning, I'm guessing we'll see pretty much the same promotion choices for the Archer/Mercenary/Fighter/Brigand family as in FE8, with maybe some changed names, and hopefully better abilities for Snipers. And Brigands in addition to or instead of Pirates, it seems. Edited March 23, 2012 by Othin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shun One Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 (edited) evidence... identify the class Fredrick is killing ..... it's not a Myrmidon... Could be a Mrymidon. If I recall, the generic enemy portrait for the class looks similar enough to it: Unless it's the portrait for Merc's instead. I can't tell until I see another Mrym though Edited March 23, 2012 by Shun One Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the official site there is a screen of General Frederick(semi unique graphics) wielding an axe. But there is no info that Generals can only use Axes and Lances.

I can't tell until I see another Mrym though the guy frederick is killing is a mercenary cause myrmidons look exactly like ronku does except they wear red clothes instead of blue (and they have a different face) the guy tiamo is about to fight is most likely a myrm solely based on the fact that he has a katana and i would expect a merc to have a broadsword or something Edited March 23, 2012 by Velth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ein Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 So... That Velvet chick is kind of the badass woman who isn't afraid to show off a little skin and is actually a killer rabbit of death right? Because she seems pretty badass and not afraid to show some skin which I'm liking. >_> This new FE is turning out to be quite different from the latest installments which were all just polished versions of the previous game which seems to be the reason why the series became increasingly stale. More variety is good. I just hope this supposed variety doesn't mean that certain classes or combinations are exceedingly overpowered then again this may not even be a factor depending on how the terrain of levels and enemy placements will affect how the player plays as well as other factors we are all aware of. >___> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
