Jedi Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Now, I know people are quite mixed on Robin, but what about his/her class? Maybe change up the skills as well, but overall I thought the concept of the class was awesome, a sword wielding mage like the Mage-Fighter class of old. I honestly hope some character in this game ends up using this class. Maybe have some plot significance towards Kamui, or be the major player for the yet unknown 3rd faction.

euklyd Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 ditch tactician entirely for mage fighter, imo tactician is an okay gimmick but only as a like, tactician it's extremely single-purpose and specific keep ignis I guess but veteran and rally spectrum are kind of extreme tbh I'd rather have a special snowflake mage manakete class anyways :^) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah something more akin to mage-fighter would be cool now that you mention it. I see Kamui getting rally spectrum as his/her class exclusive skill, seeing as a Prince(ess) needs to inspire their troops. Ignis should be the Mage-Fighter skill I agree.

BlizzardWolf95 Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Yes. Yes. A thousand times, yes. Using Swords and Magic really sets the Tactician class apart from practically every other infantry unit in Awakening. Easy to adapt to a situation on the fly. And, in my opinion, the Tactician (and Grandmaster) class was far more useful in Awakening than the Mage Fighter was in Genealogy. In Genealogy, if a unit used magic, they didn't really need anything else. I don't think Tinny ever used the sword I gave her... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambulz Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 I can do without Tactician. It was pretty specific to Awakening, after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aura Of Twilight Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 I would like to see the Tactician class again. I just don't know how it'd be implemented into the storyline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eveangaline Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 (edited) Since I doubt the main unit would be a Tactician it'd be interesting if each side had a royal Tactician who would fill the role.

Hardin Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 I would love to have characters like Malledus or August join your party as a tactician. I hope this game introduces a Zhuge Liang type of character in that class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mango Giamatti Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Given how it looks like Dark Knight is returning, I'm rather indifferent about Tactician/Mage Fighter returning. It would be neat if they came back, but I wouldn't be sad if they weren't there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Genealogy, if a unit used magic, they didn't really need anything else. I don't think Tinny ever used the sword I gave her... how much would a tactician with Tinny's stat distribution use a sword either tho (magic is still better than other weapons in fe13 generally, so) tactician makes very little sense from a narrative standpoint because if Kamui is a self-insert (or avatar or whatever), and you control their actions, and you control everyone else's actions, it makes no sense to have some other character be a "tactician" I mean I guess you could argue for like, "advisor," filling a position similar to Nils / Hannah in FE7, but even that seems kinda dubious a mage fighter that was basically a re-flavored tactician (so without the OP skills) seems like the ideal choice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rawkstar Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 (edited) See, I liked the class, I thought it was unique and really well done, the visuals were on point, wasn't dreadfully overpowered, but there was one problem: it was only accessable to Robin and Morgan. That makes it so much less awesome. It just feels wrong that they were the only ones who were able to become that class...So to answer the question, I want the tacticitan class to return, but only if it's not exclusive to particular characters. With that said I don't expect to see it make a return. Edited April 7, 2015 by Rawkstar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor Odinson Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 I like the weapon combo but I agree that Mage Fighter as a class name would be better-purposed for more general usage esp if reclass returns and characters that have no business being tacticians storywise could access a class that uses swords and tomes on foot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoirCore Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Ehh... I think the tactician class is better back at FE13. It was a class designed simply for Robin, a man/woman who used swords and sorcery with tactics to help guide his army to victory, as was part of his/her character. If they ever include fighting tacticians again, they can just be in normal classes, much like Tellius' Soren, who served as the tactician for the Greil Mercenaries while being identified as a mage.

HF Makalov Fanboy Kai Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 personally i don't think so from a mini maxing viewpoint, you'd almost never want to stay in that line up because the caps weren't super great, and its almost always better to specialize then to be spread out, this includes the weapons of choice. it has good skills, but you can always class change once you got them.

NekoKnight Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 I don't see why people are so hung up on the idea of a tactician class character needing to be the literal tactician of the group. Does it bother you that mercenaries aren't bought with gold? It's just a class name. I like the design of Awakenings tactician a lot and Anima/Sword is a cool combo for an infantry unit.

B.Leu Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 I don't mind, as a Mage-Fighter or something.I didn't loved that much the Tactician class, why should there be one in If ? We already have the Dark Lord for a main character class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunwoo Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 It doesn't necessarily have to be called "tactician", but I like the combination of swords and magic on a foot unit. So, I wouldn't mind if a class using the same weapons that tactician did and is also on foot returned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodperson707 Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 I do like a sword magic foot unit. But i have trouble seeing a tactician variant fitting in with the factions class dynamic, like thieves vs archers. We might get a grandmaster equivalent though, maybe counter part to dark knight, maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckc22 Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 I just don't see it fitting without it being a story-related thing, and I think it would be a little odd to play as the Lord and have a tactician player character telling you what to do? I feel like if this were likely we would have had characters other than Robin/Morgan who had access to the class. Hopefully Ignis and rallyspec come back though :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire Emblem Fan Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Yeah sure, I liked the class! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jessehyuga Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 I am very fond of the Tactician class, but I also agree that its place was with Awakening. but what if they made a DLC or something that allowed you to transfer your Avatar from awakening? they could also bring Chrom, and maybe Lucinia into the game. then you could have the Tactician class but still not have it affect the story.

Nik Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 I'd like to have a sword+anima unit(also because dark nights might be getting dark magic).However Tactician would be very out of place. Come on IS, we got Mage Knights back, now give us Mage Fighters! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devalon Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Probably not. It didnt really excel majorly in anything. Everything was just too balanced, not my style. Though if they could bring back ignis and/or rally spectrum, that would make my day :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeonZ Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 (edited) I think they should bring it back, although tweaking its skills to make it even more support based, giving boosts to other units around it. That would keep its "tactician" role in a way even if it isn't commanding the army. I just don't see it fitting without it being a story-related thing, and I think it would be a little odd to play as the Lord and have a tactician player character telling you what to do? I feel like if this were likely we would have had characters other than Robin/Morgan who had access to the class. Robin's other children also could class change to it, also any of the bonus characters. Apotheosis Katarina was a grandmaster by default too.
