wigglepuppy Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 (edited) So if you guys have been keeping up with Echoes news, they announced the overclasses that would be made accessible in the dlc. So for classes trees like the cavalier route and villager route, they would have 4 classes since the Gold Knight and Dread Fighter classes are already third tier so now they have an overclass on top of that. What do you guys think about this? I think it's awesome and keeps your units feeling fresh and powerful and would be pretty cool to see in future fire emblem games Edited May 3, 2017 by wigglepuppy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michelaar Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 I feel like it's pretty overkill, don't like it a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivy Wife Supremacy Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 (edited) I think its too overkill and not necessary as well I'll admit Alm and Celica getting 3rd tier classes is the only thing that gets a pass.

Cyas Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 In my opinion, the concept is alienating for multiple reasons: We already have 3rd tiers. Isn't that enough? 4th tier seems excessive and needless. As far as I know, max stats are tied to characters. A Dread Fighter could be just as strong as a Yaksha, unless the Overclasses break caps or have extremely powerful skills. The game, as it is right now, is too easy to necessitate Overclasses. It's quite expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leif Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 I'm definitely only going to get the Sage overclass since the default sage looks like complete trash. Not sure about the others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The DanMan Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 They're cool, but the way they're being handled is obviously just IS milking fans over Fates' poor DLC sales. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azz Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 I like some of them. While I'll buy them since I always buy DLC (Except Fates, cause fuck Fates), but I'm not a fan of some of the designs. They seem too extravagant. I'll probably use them for the final dungeon since I don't think my units will be good enough to take it on by then in their normal classes, though if the final dungeon didn't exist, I probably wouldn't touch them.

wigglepuppy Posted May 3, 2017 Author Share Posted May 3, 2017 Let me just remind everyone that my question doesn't involve the price of the dlc. My question is just if you approve of higher-tiered classes. Also keep in mind that these classes can only be accessed at the characters promoted class level 20. While one could just grind early game and get these higher tier classes making the rest of the game easier, it would normally take some level of motivation for the sake of getting the classes. In other words, those who would make all of their classes into their respective overclasses, would most likely only be able to do so if they wanted to and did the necessary grinding. So regardless of how powerful a class is, it is mainly for aesthetics, as you only need to overclass if you want to. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the rest of your points, I agree. But if max stats are tied to characters, and overclassing isn't a necessity, isn't that all the more reason to have them in the first place? If they have no significant impact on the gameplay, the reason for them being there could be drawn down to aesthetics. So why wouldn't you want a class that gives you the satisfaction for grinding a character to the necessary level, and a pretty cool sprite +animations? Thoughts?

Silverdawn77 Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 i actually love them, im excited for the morgana class, and yes if max stats are tied to the unit then i really don't understand peoples issue, its another class so yay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivy Wife Supremacy Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 (edited) Because it could've been something more useful than being OP than already at max plus after chapter 6 nothing else left. Edited May 3, 2017 by Blade Lord Lyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivy Wife Supremacy Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 (edited) If it was in game it would be fine(even though it'll be to little too late by the endgame) otherwise its not useful overall for the entire campaign just for design if they made it a mechanic in the next game it needs replayability and a Apotheosis map for the full complete benefits.

Exactly. Some people don't really want third tier classes in fear that they're overkill. But seeing as promoting units into these classes would be very late into the game unless you grind(which means you want to promote your units into these classes in the first place) then there's no problem for anybody. And as for Apotheosis....PLEASE MAKE IT HAPPEN IS!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SatsumaFSoysoy Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Honestly, I think only classes that didn't get a third tier should have gotten an Overclass. Why does Gold Knight need to be even better? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I agree, the main and only point of these classes right now is aesthetics. However, people are different. Some value gameplay more and some value aesthetics instead. I'm in the former group. Consequently, the classes don't appeal to me. This may change if we get Apotheosis and more information regarding the classes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SavageVolug Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 If I like how the classes look I probably won't care too much. However I do think it would be nice to see 3rd tiers and branch promotions worked into Fire Emblem games more reagurly before we start testing the waters with overclass. Which might basically be the "limit breaker"of the game, also while overclass might be overkill (had to do that), I've been overpowered just by having Dart the Berserker on the map in FE7 so being overpowered is not going to be new. I mean I'm pretty sure my Gold Knight will be overpowered anyway and if he's maxed out might as well promote him to his overclass so he can at least get the 1 EXP per kill.

If overclasses are used strictly for aesthetics, then it doesn't affect the gameplay at all. Those who want to overclass will be able to do so and those who don't won't be affected by not overclassing whatsoever. Since they are superfluous, it doesn't matter if you're into gameplay or aesthetics since they only affect aesthetics. It's not a matter of gameplay vs aesthetics. Rather its if you care about aesthetics vs you don't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivy Wife Supremacy Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 (edited) That's good if you don't have anything to besides fighting only entombs by then plus ruins the challenge go ahead plus most will complain later about lack of challenge maps to continue that one file you grow units on for nothing (no hate).
