Bovinian Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 With tomes now being a part of the weapon triangle along with all of the physical weapons, I think it is very likely that we will be getting a good amount of magic-based weapons. There needs to be some sort of weapon triangle control when targeting Res (though I admit the idea of high Avo ninjas being borderline immune to magic pleases me somewhat) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philranger Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Lances being good against tomes also helps Pegasus Knights fill that mage killing niche they're supposed to have by typically having higher Res than most physical classes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VincentASM Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 (edited) Some character descriptions have been floating around. Not sure how legit they are though. Apparently Gunter is a Great Knight, rather than a Great Butler. That would... make a lot more sense : P EDIT: Felicia: A maid who tends to the Avatar during his/her residence at Nohr. Joker: A butler who serves the Avatar in Nohr. Gunter: A knight who has served Nohr for many years. The Avatar's caretaker. Suzukaze: Belongs to a family of ninjas who has served Hoshido for generations. However, Suzukaze himself does not follow a particular liege. Saizou: A ninja who has sworn allegiance to and directly reports to Ryouma. Suzukaze's twin brother. Kagerou: A kunoichi who serves Ryouma. Acts as the restraint for the reckless Saizou. I think there's a good chance it's legit. If not, somebody has a really good imagination. Edited May 19, 2015 by VincentASM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belmont Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 The new triangle sounds find to me. I just read it once and I already memorized it and I consider myself a casual fan at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jagged Jagen Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 This sounds like a greater anime/manga tropes than Awakening! This is awesome :) A new era for the FE series to attract new fans and retain fans brought in from Awakening. I don't mind anime tropes, but there are more fans than the Awakening initiates you know... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The DanMan Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 (edited) So Gunter could be that guy on the Nohr cover? Would make sense. Salute the Great Butler; we hardly knew you. This is interesting. It ain't the magic triangle, but it will do. Also, what is up with naginatas giving certain stat buffs but the same types of lances not? So my beloved cavaliers are now mage killers and effective against archers? Ooooh yeah. Nohr gets a Ninja! Yes. Suzukaze is my favorite (when compared to Saizou) from what little we've seen of him; reminds me of Volke, for some reason. Butler and Maid seem a bit dumb (too anime), but hopefully aren't a major sign of things to come. And maids wield the same weapons as ninjas? Hello, Nanako. No unique weapon icons, though? Bummer.

NekoKnight Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 (edited) Meh, the new weapon triangle and weapon types seem unnecessary to me. There is always room for innovation but Fire Emblem if is starting to feel... alien. But there is a "lancer" class, which might be a revival of the much wanted Halberdier, so that's pretty neat. Next confirm the return of Light Magic Edited May 19, 2015 by NekoKnight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The DanMan Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 (edited) That's sort of how I read it. You need to be +8 speed to double the enemy but get doubled at -2. Wait...what? So they skewed it in the enemies' favor? The other changes were interesting, but this... this makes me worry a bit. What's next? The return of ambush spawning reinforcements?

Strange, Saizou seems to be the Cain and Kagerou the (female?) Abel. Meanwhile Suzukaze is the odd third wheel, despite being Saizou's twin.

Jagged Jagen Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 (edited) Next confirm the return of Light Magic FE15 should have a new Weapon Triangle that parallels the three magic types too! :) Strange, Saizou seems to be the Cain and Kagerou the (female?) Abel. Meanwhile Suzukaze is the odd third wheel, despite being Saizou's twin. Well, it's better than being too predictable XD Yeah, The ninja's could be of the trio archetype in retrospect.

Aurath8 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Wait...what? So they skewed it in the enemies' favor? The other changes were interesting, but this... this makes me worry a bit. What's next? The return of ambush spawning reinforcements? Honestly after Awakening, stuff like enemy pair-ups and Steel Swords debuffs please me. Also there is a step-up from debuffs to ambush reinforcements. The latter is a cruel and unfair, but Steel Swords sound suitably balanced. Bear in mind that the enemy may use them as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philranger Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 (edited) Wait...what? So they skewed it in the enemies' favor? The other changes were interesting, but this... this makes me worry a bit. What's next? The return of ambush spawning reinforcements? Only if you're wielding a Steel Sword. It's essentially weapon weight without actually being weapon weight. It looks like they're trying to balance the stronger weapons around things that aren't just weapon level (that's how I interpret it at least). Like in Awakening, once you got to up to the higher weapon levels there was no incentive to use weaker weapons outside of higher durability/lower cost. Since durability is no longer a factor they're trying to make a new kind of risk/reward for using stronger weapons. So that steel sword, for instance, is a stronger weapon so you'll do more damage per hit, but you have to balance that around its drawbacks. Does that make sense?

VincentASM Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Not to my knowledge, by tomorrow the digital edition should come in. Yeah, I'm looking forward to that... Also, I forgot a bit. If the character descriptions are correct, there's another character too--the blurry top-most character on the second page of Famitsu, a female Dark Mage called Nyx (ニュクス). I'm really curious what her weapon ranks and weapons are... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryo Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Also reclassing confirmed? Kamui only has one weapon rank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VincentASM Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 (edited) I see only one weapon rank. Yar, me too. Makes sense since the weapon triangle implied all magic is grouped together XD EDIT Also reclassing confirmed? Kamui only has one weapon rank. Interesting... He has 3 skills too, so it's unlikely the Dragonstone rank is added later, considering he had 2 skills at that point.

KungBoo Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 So Joker is cravat-san and Gunter is the great knight from Nohr ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamanoir Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 The infiltration is going smoothly Bientôt l'Emblême de Feu illluminera cette forêt. I'll help fill in the VA's: Felicia: Nozomi Sasaki Joker: Junichi Suwabe Gunther: Rokuro Naya Suzukaze: Daisuke Ono Saizou: Tarusuke Shingaki Kagerou: Rie Murakawa I'm assuming that Joker is cravat-san. He looks butler-ish! It's really likely Gunther is his VA's last role... And Joker's VA played in Black Butler (he was Undertaker, but still.)
