Hunter Nightblood Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Judging by these two classes I'd guess that we'll have at least two types of magic. I don't see a staff proficiency though. I'd assume it comes from priest, but there's no proficiency level to go with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that explains some of the lukewarm response if this game sounds like something people have played before. Military academy sounded like a unique setup to me.

SageOfAnys Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Just now, vanguard333 said: I understand, though I'm pretty sure those passive buffs applied as long as the Yato was in his inventory; it didn't matter if he had it equipped. I agree about the darkness thing. That'll be interesting, especially when you also consider Byleth's black armour (why am I now suddenly tempted to name him Zelgius and give him blue hair in one of my playthroughs?) and outfit. It kind of reminds me of the trailers for Final Fantasy Versus 13 (the game that ultimately became the far worse game Final Fantasy 15) and seeing Noctis using all those clearly ghost-inspired abilities (phasing, teleporting, summoning his ancestors' weapons, not to mention the in-lore connection between his abilities and the goddess of death in the original version of the game). It'll be interesting to see what they do with it. I wonder if the fact that it's a whip-sword when the seeming bad guy uses it, but an ordinary sword when Byleth uses it, is plot-relevant in some way? I suspected that the sword might be part of a dragon spine or the end of a dragon tail because it's a whip-sword and because of the particular notches on one side of the blade. Yeah, you only had to have it in your inventory, but it was dead weight and made you only have 4 slots to work with instead of 5. It limited your options for not wanting to be in a sword using class. I have no doubt the sword is probably going to be one of the game's major relics (if not the major relic), espeically with how devastating it was in the first trailer. Makes you wonder how a sword so powerful and potentially central to the church landed in the hands of Byleth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The impression i got from the trailer is the religion of the continent is "silk road" of the three kingdoms. Responsible for the current peace between the kingdoms *the good and holy people* i guess... This might very well be a story of the three heirs to their respective kingdoms. Uncovering the deep and darker motives behind the religion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In schools, the bad guys are usually bullies, shifty teachers, drug dealers, and the dean of the school unless it's a college. Oh, and you can't forget about homework and student loans. 4 minutes ago, omegaxis1 said: You mean setting up a continent in the same world as Archanea. If Fodlan is in the same world, that's 4 continents on the same planet. Not too strange, our planet has seven continents, if I remember correctly. 2 minutes ago, JoeyW001 said: I wonder if Nintendo or IS is brave enough to go a controversial route about Kingdoms abandoning and rebelling against religion in general. IS, maybe. Maybe Nintendo would be okay with that in Japan as well. But localization would probably change that because America always throws a hissy fit if you even slightly suggest that religion could have faults in a piece of media that's directed at younger audiences; they'd say you're manipulating impressionable minds.

Awakening being set in the same world but thousands years later I just see as IS wanting to make their last game go out with a bang and include a lot of references and what better way to do that then to put it in the same word as the first game they made.

Hunter Nightblood Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Of things to note from this class list is that there's no flying units, yet there's no indication of a scroll bar. Flying units should be in, judging by the skill proficiency, so it might not be avaliable from the start, there's no scroll bar here, or not all units can become certain classes. Another thing to note is that there's no clear hand-to-hand unit here, unless that role has been delegated to thief, which would be weird.

Jingle Jangle Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Pros: Decent world building Cons: The artstyle doesn't look too appealing The 7fps cutscenes Female Byleth's desgin is a mess Netural: appears to be lots of micromanaging the idea of taking a bandit exam sounds silly fantasy Harry Potter setting Still feel lukewarm about the game.

If they do it. But it's highly unlikely. Feels like IS is fearful of making things be in the same universe and worried how they'll connect them all, hence why Outrealms and such is such an easy thing to use and abuse.

They still do that? The 3DS had a game where you could kill yvhv. I don't think it would be a huge issue anymore.

Radiant Dawn basically had you on the side of mini-Satan(Yune), and the angelic-themed Goddess of Order with the big church behind it was the bad guy.

Actually there's something on the edge of that part of the menu below. Hard to make out, but it looks like the edge of another class. I also noticed there being something called flying focus in the focus section which I'll get into a bit I noticed that you can manage "focuses". Seems that they're traits of either weapons or mobility. There are class focuses and then there are custom focuses. My guess is that if you pick a focus in custom that already exists in your class then that focus gets a boost. If you pick a new one then you gain that trait or at least your mooks as I noticed Edgelord had cavalry mooks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Etrurian emperor Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 One thing I noticed as far as world building goes is that the country borders are pretty realistic. Leicaster seems seperated from the empire by a large river spanning the entire border and a mountain range sits between them and Dimitri's kingdom.

omegaxis1 Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 I think the biggest twist this trailer has shown is that all those brigands we fought had actually gone to college and got a degree and license in becoming brigands. Turns out, it's a serious Major. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
