Ok, I notice there are more new characters revealed revealed from the scans and there is two characters Geriba and the Blond Hair Swordsman Ruffian fighting Krom from the scan (I think someone said his name is Narazumono), but we probably not sure about them, so I will make the poll so that you can decide to guess until we have more info revealed about them.

Geriba


And Blond Hair Swordsman Ruffian (Narazumono? - I have no idea what his name is)

I hope Narazumono is playable! He is so awesome looking! Come on Nintendo! Release this game OUTSIDE OF JAPAN instead of keeping it in one part of the world! And we can also see if that swordsman ruffian guy is playable(and of course that other one).

[Rewjeo]

Narazumono basically means "bandit," I believe... So I would venture he's a generic enemy.

I don't even think you need to know moonspeak to know that's not an individual character. Just recognizing how names work in Fire Emblem will clue you in to that.

The other dude I'm guessing is an enemy, but I'm guessing, is all.

So the faceless enemies are gonna have faces?

That's new.

ならず者　(Narazumono)－Does mean Ruffian so it's just a generic enemy、　I'm guessing Geriba is the ruffian leader or just a boss of that map so not recruitable.

I believe in Tear Ring Saga, all Generic enemies had portraits with hidden eyes.

Like people have said... generic.

And I see the Blond Hair Man with the Sword in his portrait looks like an enemy unit (possibly more like Boss or Recruitable Enemy)

The enemy's just a Ruffian. You can tell if a character is generic if their name contains hiragana or kanji (which requires you to know a little Japanese).

VincentASM said himself that USUALLY you can tell that a character is generic if they have Hiragana and/or Kanji as their label.

Most, if not all Fire Emblem characters have Katakana as their names.

If you don't know moonspeak/Japanese:

Hiragana: Simple looking, curvy-stylized type characters such as: あ、い、う、え、お、か、き、く、け、こ、etc...

Kanji: Chinese characters. You can tell simply by looking: 漢字、言葉、etc.

Katakana: Kind of straight-edgy versions of Hiragana, considering they have the exact same pronunciations: ア、イ、ウ、エ、オ、カ、キ、ク、ケ、コ、etc...


If it has complicated looking characters in it, it's usually generic, even with Katakana.


Like for example from FE7:



キアラン兵 = Caelin (Soldier) aka Generics.

Go on, then. Tell me how names work in Fire Emblem, keeping in mind I am effectively illiterate.

As for the OP, how do you Narazumono? It's something that I've been wondering for a while now.

That's how.

[Naglfar]

The only FE character whose name isn't in katakana who comes to mind is the Black Knight... which isn't a name.

it's fe8 c5 all over again

[Ike-Mike]

I imagined the generic enemies would have their eyes more concealed, as per Emperor Hardin's post.

[L95]

Bahahaha, they're both enemys. Just because they have mugs means nothing. We can recruit that one corpse solider, too, right?

[Othin]

I imagined the generic enemies would have their eyes more concealed, as per Emperor Hardin's post.

The eyes are still shadowed, just not somehow invisible like the ones in FE9/FE10/Berwick.

... I swear that wasn't there before I posted.

Yes, I know the last edit was a full fifteen minutes before my post. I post slowly.

or maybe i'm just not very observant

To be fair, that's a pretty cool looking generic bandit.

[Refa]

I wish Batta The Beast was playable.

[Anouleth]

I wish Batta The Beast was playable.

He wasn't really generic, but I think that his theme was totally kickass and he should have been a CO in his own right.

EDIT: For some reason I was thinking of The Beast from AW4. Derp.

ならず者 is also a label used in FE12 for bandits.
