Thany Posted January 25, 2017 Posted January 25, 2017 I mostly ask this because we have characters like merlinus and Amy as selectable choose your heroes characters. i dont feel like they would of added them in if they wernt gonna be playable in some way. what do you guys think? would the characters that dont fight make it into the game?
Pretty Cool Guy Posted January 25, 2017 Posted January 25, 2017 They just showed off a trailer that showed Azura refreshing units so utility units seem to still be a thing.

But azura also has a lance, while Dancers from the GBA games dont have any sort of weapon at all. yet are still selectable as choose your heroes characters.
eclipse Posted January 25, 2017 Posted January 25, 2017 Honestly, I'm not sure. They'd most likely get the wallpaper and whatnot. Perhaps they'll wind up in the menus or something.

They can always be updated for FE Heroes so that they can fight. Just look at Fates' Elise (a staff-locked Troubadour) in one of the trailers; she dealt damage via her staff (which was normally an impractical option available in the Tellius games).
C. Turtle Posted January 25, 2017 Posted January 25, 2017 They could just be locked to utility, like the GBA dancers/Merlinus, but I suppose that might make them less useful than ultility-and-combat characters like Olivia or Azura by default. Still, considering at least some of these non-combat units have actually been playable in main-series games, and Elibe is part of the initial lineup of characters, I'd be very surprised if they were left out, especially on the off chance of one of them winning the vote. If they're on the poll, then I'd say IS probably has a plan for how they'd work in-game.
Rukina Posted January 25, 2017 Posted January 25, 2017 yes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YuulksGCeRI

bethany81707 Posted January 25, 2017 Posted January 25, 2017 Elena was in the poll. Who's Elena? Ike's mother. You know, that character who's one fight was 'getting stabbed by her husband' and doesn't even appear in the Trial Maps to suggest what class she might be beyond maybe 'Cleric, because Greil's the same class as Ike'.
Magical Glace Posted January 25, 2017 Posted January 25, 2017 Elena was a Daein priestess, so I always found it safe to assume that Priest would be her class if she was playable. She even uses a staff in her OA from FE9.
bethany81707 Posted January 25, 2017 Posted January 25, 2017 Well, anyway, I've already sent a vote her way, so I'm honestly just wondering 'Light Magic or Swords'?
Gima Posted January 25, 2017 Posted January 25, 2017 The real question is Dancers without weapons are going to do. Is Nils just going to punch some asshole?
Gima Posted January 25, 2017 Posted January 25, 2017 OK, then I'd guess the Dancers and Bards from the GBA games besides Ninian and Nils (who are literally half-Manakete and thus would likely use Breath weapons since weapons=/=class in this game, it seems) would probably use Swords? Since the Dancer class, outside of the GBA games, uses Swords. Spoiler Elphin could also be a Sword user since he's a Prince, and thus could have been a Lord.
Magical Glace Posted January 25, 2017 Posted January 25, 2017 Elphin can probably use Light Magic, and I guess I can see Lalum and Tethys pull off using Swords.
IGdood Posted January 26, 2017 Posted January 26, 2017 Maybe their presence on the battlefield gives bonuses to the other 3 units?
Lord Raymond Posted January 27, 2017 Posted January 27, 2017 Maybe they will somehow utilize rings as weapons for Ninian and Nils, although I doubt it. I like the idea of making them use breath attacks.
BANRYU Posted January 27, 2017 Posted January 27, 2017 I could see the various rings as potential magical attacks for the ice sibs, but seeing them go full-on Manakete would be awesome as well. I could see Laila using swords lol. Daggers are another possibility that sort of makes sense for other dancers who don't have a weapon specialty already
OpheliaNohrPrincess Posted January 27, 2017 Posted January 27, 2017 I REALLY want to see Layla, Lilith and Amy finally playable!
Shadow Mir Posted January 27, 2017 Posted January 27, 2017 I'm gonna have to admit, this throws me off as well, I'm still wracking my brain thinking about what would, say, Amy or young Guinivere do in this game...
