Strunk Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Remember how Pegasus Knights used to promote into Wyvern Riders, and then later on, the Pegasus riding classes and the Wyvern riding classes were separated into two different promotion trees? Something similar also happened with Myrmidons and Mercenaries. What are your thoughts on Griffon Knights getting their own promotion tree down the line, mostly unrelated to either of the other two flying classes? Do you think it'll happen? Would you be happy if it did? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ema Skye Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 I was kind of hoping Griffon Knights would main swords, completing the Axe/Lance/Sword triangle for fliers. I'd like to see IS do more with them, because I think they look cool. Maybe get in their own promotion tree somewhere down the line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven the Obsidian Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 It would be cool to see them expanded on a little As they are in FE13, they're unfortunately only really good for grabbing Carrier. After that there's no real reason to not switch to Dragonmaster. :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Othin Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 In FE13, they really don't do much to grab their own niche, but I still think it's better for them to try to keep working with that than make them just another flying class, resulting in way too many.

nocturnal YL Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Maybe they'll work as a "carrier" class (Advance Wars has that) if later FE games go back to the skill system where class skills and personal skills are different. But otherwise, I don't see the need of Griffon Knights in their own class tree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Raven Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 They already have a movement boosting ability (Carrier) so that's a niche on its own Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Othin Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 They already have a movement boosting ability (Carrier) so that's a niche on its own It's a temporary niche, but as it stands, at high levels, you can hold onto the skill in other classes. They're a transitional class, not a lasting one. They have plenty of use, especially ingame when you stick with those transitional classes for most of the game, but it still seems like less than they're capable of.

Dark Sage Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Griffon Knights seem underrated to me. They're faster than Dracoknights and still give really good double bonuses and have the Carrier skill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrostyFireMage Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Griffon Knights could be the balanced flying class, with Pegasus Knights being the speedy and fragile class and Dracoknights being the slow but tanky class. As for how unnecessary they are, you could say the same for Heroes/Swordmasters - the only difference between them being a marginal difference in stats and the ability to wield axes.

H-Bastaki Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 i turned frederick into a griffon knight i think its suits him well :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psych Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Eventually, they might. Like in 15 or 16 or something. I think if Pegasi use Lances and Dracos use Axes, then the logical move is for Griffons to start with swords. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Raven Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 or maybe griffons will have bows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBM Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Well, Dark Pegasi can use Wind tomes, which other fliers are also weak against in this game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MajorMajora Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Well, Dark Pegasi can use Wind tomes, which other fliers are also weak against in this game. Which is also one of the reasons everyone loves dark peggis. I never said it was a bad thing, just that it would be powerful. Maybe Pegasi use lances as heir main, Dragons use axes, and griffs us swords. Then they eac get something else at each of the possible promotions.

Othin Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Griffin Knights have a hard enough time being distinctive in FE13 as one of just four possible promoted flier classes. With that in mind, making them an entirely separate branch just seems unwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psych Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 If they put them in a game where they don't have split promotions and go back to just normal tiers, I could see them as having swords and tomes, and removing Dark Pegasi. It would make them a nice counterpart to Mage Knights or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.C. Amigo Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 (edited) Well, if it's single-promotes only, I could see the Weak, but Fast Pegasus (Lance -> Lance and Sword), the all-rounder Gryphons (Lance -> Lance and Anima Magic) and Strong, but Slow Wyverns (Lance -> Lance and Axe). It would have to be a pretty big game to fit them, though. Edited September 26, 2012 by S.C. Amigo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silith Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Don't gryphon riders get a +1 mov skill? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrashGordon94 Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Yeah. Carrier, it gives you +1 MOV when you have a supporting Double partner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Othin Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Something seems off to me about the idea of taking a class that's only ever shown up as mono-axe and giving it random weapon sets that don't include axes at all. Yeah. Carrier, it gives you +1 MOV when you have a supporting Double partner. +2, rather. But critically, it's not locked to the actual class.

Psych Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Dracos started being from Pegasi and with lances, not to mention GBA and SNES games where they used lances, but then 9 and 10 and now 13 have suddenly shoved them into Axes.

It's not as much of a leap, though. Promoted Dracos still have lances, and they had axes as a secondary weapon before as a primary weapon - and after, in 11 and 12.

This is the part of the argument where I find people are starting to draw lines in very specific places just so it fits their argument better. I, personally, think double promotions are a good Idea. It could be something like this: Pegasi start with lances, and upon promotions can either be lance+sword or lance+staves. Dragons start with axes, and upon promotions can either be axe+lance or axe+anima. Griffons start with swords and upon promotions can either be sword+axe or sword+bow.
