Andreyas Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 What kinds of weapons can we expect in Awakening? I would love to see new spells, wouldn't you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leif Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Apparently, magic is embedded in one category; no separate categories like FE4,5, and 10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreyas Posted April 3, 2012 Author Share Posted April 3, 2012 (edited) I noticed that. So we could see some new spells. I wouldn't mind seeing an earth spell... and maybe some more ice spells like Fimbulvetr and Blizzard.

NinjaMonkey Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 and maybe some more ice spells like Fimbulvetr and Blizzard. Aren't they classified as Wind Magic (I know Blizzard is)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaggle of Geese Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 I'm hoping they include Nosferatu/Resire as a regular spell. On the bright side, this means I won't have to train a whole bunch of separate magic users. I wonder what kind of S-Rank magic we can expect? Maybe Excalibur?

VincentASM Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 I think we can safely expect all the Fire, Thunder and Wind spells from Radiant Dawn. Plus joke weapons like Wooden Twigs and cameo weapons like Fin's Guard-lance, Leaf's Treasured-sword. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrategistPockystix Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Would be cool if wind and ice were their own thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arvilino Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 I want the Tomes to have diverse effects. Since all magic comes from the tome rank it would seem like a waste if they don't make Mages/Sage's versatile(especially since they seem to have lower stats than other units, sort of like in RD).

Othin Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 I'm hoping they include Nosferatu/Resire as a regular spell. It's available in shops, so I think this is the case, probably as C rank. We've also seen the basic elemental trio, El- and Arc- spells, and even Bolganone and Rexcalibur. So as Vincent said, I think it's a safe bet that we'll have those as five levels for E-A. This will likely be in place of stranger elemental spells, so I highly doubt we'll see spells like ice and earth magic here. They just wouldn't fit; no room.

FrostyFireMage Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 I'd like to see spells that target Defence instead of Resistance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Othin Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 I'd like to see spells that target Defence instead of Resistance. A majority of magic using classes can already target Def with physical weapons. This addition would be utterly pointless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrostyFireMage Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 A majority of magic using classes can already target Def with physical weapons. This addition would be utterly pointless. I meant "spells that run off the user's magic stat, yet target the opponent's defence." We have magic swords and the like, so it wouldn't be that outlandish.

Anouleth Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Yeah, it seems weird to have weapons that run off magic and hit defense, or run off strength and hit resistance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celice Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Not really. It'd allow you to target a weakness that you otherwise wouldn't have access to. A mage could decimate all the magic-users/pegasus/holy craps he wants if he can avoid their high magic defense and go after their shallow physical defense.

Book of Ereshkigal Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 I'm hoping for all the weapons to have a reason to be there, as in actually different, so something like that sounds interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A mage could decimate all the magic-users/pegasus/holy craps he wants if he can avoid their high magic defense and go after their shallow physical defense. In other words, exactly what half the mage classes have a whole physical weapon type to do. And you would want a spell that could single-handedly outclass all of that, hitting for likely more damage and at 1-2 range? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deuxhero Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Yeah, it seems weird to have weapons that run off magic and hit defense, or run off strength and hit resistance. But psishock is awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Othin Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 But psishock is awesome! That it is. It also works better in terms of not dominating strategies, since it's only one type. It can be a great substitute for mixed attacking when you can get away with using a Psychic-type move, but it doesn't outclass other strategies that call for other, typically better attack types.

deuxhero Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 (edited) Hmm, I mainly use it so I can win CM vs CM duels, also Blissey. Edited April 4, 2012 by deuxhero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
