Kamui-of-Nohr Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Kamui's class is Dark Prince(ss) right? Anybody else wonder why Kamui doesn't have the Lord class, just his own class? There must be some reasons why the developers opt to give the Avatar her own personal class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCProductions Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Because Marx and Ryouma need their own classes of Knight Lord and Blade Lord Honestly, I don't know, but it wouldn't be the first FE without a "lord" class. RD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

euklyd Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Get hype for Dark Prince(ss) -> Dark Lord promotion! I mean it's not like the Lord class carries over all between games anyways; it's basically just a unique personal class with the same name as previous classes...

Isn't a lord a lower rank than a prince/ss? IIRC, Leif in FE5 even promotes from Lord to Prince. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
euklyd Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 yeah but "dark lord" is like the ultimate in evil overlord titles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thane Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Ike doesn't start out as a lord if memory serves, but becomes one later on. The same thing might happen to Kamui or someone close to him, like Dancina. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honey Bunny Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 yeah but "dark lord" is like the ultimate in evil overlord titles I don't know Demon King would probably beat it out, or Ancient One depending on the literature. Plus I'd rather promote to Overlord. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryo Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 I can actually expect them to use "Dark lord" in the localization in case "Dark prince/princess" sounds too Engrishy for their tastes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ENS Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Maybe because Kamui is a supernatural creature, so for put emphasys on it, the name. I think it's not a bad idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ambulz Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Dark Lord sounds like a cool promotion name if they change the base class to just being "Lord" (which I imagine they're likely to do). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NekoKnight Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 I think Dark Lord has some overly insidious connotations for a character who is fighting for justice, be in internal reform or defending a country against invasion. Sauron was misunderstood! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwarfishh Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if Kamui's class just became 'Lord' in localisation for consistency's sake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sauron was misunderstood! Actually thinking on it I could easily see Dark Lord as Garon's class. He has the intimidating presence, and vague malice to pull it off. Perhaps IS will make Kamui's promoted have more to do with their supernatural abilities rather than anything else maybe something like Dark Prince(ss) -> Qirin Lord (dumb name, I know, but it's the best I could come up with on short notice). Or if IS wanted to they could make it so that Kamui ends up promoting to the same class as Garon as a twist. Whatever happens with Kamui's class though, I really hope it doesn't get renamed Lord.

Dark Holy Elf Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 I'll admit, I actually forget which characters have "Lord" in their official class title and which don't. I tend to refer to any PC who isn't allowed to die under any circumstances as a lord (though ones who aren't forced, like Robin, are borderline). So I read this topic title and immediately thought "But clearly Kamui will be the lord..." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mysterique Sign Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 (edited) My question is, will Kamui be a Dark Prince(ss) if s/he joins Hoshido? I'm assuming the choice happens before Kamui has a chance to promote, so probably. It's probably because they're a prince(ss) of the Dark Night Kingdom Edited April 25, 2015 by Mysterique Sign Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could have a branching class promotion, with one for Hoshido, and one for Nohr (But not restricted to which path you chose) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Kamui starts on the "evil" team, maybe his promotion will reflect a moral change of character. Granted, he'd have the same class whether he was with Hoshido or Nohr but in the early Nohr campaign you might be involved in some dickery vs Hoshido before you turn your attention to more noble goals.

Return of the GBA promotion items in which Kamui gets different plot items depending on the route they choose perhaps?

Honey Bunny Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Could have a branching class promotion, with one for Hoshido, and one for Nohr (But not restricted to which path you chose) Yeah I could see that working. If Is wants to keep the whole black/white thing I could see the promotion line go something like this: Gray Lord / \ Black Lord White Lord If Kamui starts on the "evil" team, maybe his promotion will reflect a moral change of character. Granted, he'd have the same class whether he was with Hoshido or Nohr but in the early Nohr campaign you might be involved in some dickery vs Hoshido before you turn your attention to more noble goals. I could also see that working. Come to think of it when advertising the Nohr path they did show some scenes with archer boy attacking you, and Ryoma looking defeated. It would seem probable that the first couple of chapters of Nohr would have you conquering Hoshido. Hmm...possibilities... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honey Bunny Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 How would that work in japan though since kaimui is a dark prince there. Woah, dude, what happened to your quote? That aside, I guess I didn't really think that one through. My thought process with that was that the first class was neutral and goes in two different paths. I guess it could still work if you think of "dark" as referring to Nohrian uprising, and "prince" as referring to the fact that Kamui is a Hoshidan prince. Of course the two promotes would have to be renamed to something different, but at the moment I can only come up with: Darker Prince, and Prince Prince. I don't know why, but the more I think about a branching lord-esque class tree, the less I think it'll happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
