Frederick is a Great Knight huh? I like this idea alot. He probably wont be too much of a "game-breaker" as his Jeigan predecessors were since his movement will be lower.I wonder what FE8 would have been like if Seth were a Great Knight instead of a Paladin...

[King Marth 64]

Liz promotes to AxeCleric

...

I take back everything bad I ever said about her.

Okay her design is still ridiculous but AXES AXES AXES

How do you tell that was an axe?

Disregard this message, I didn't see it mentioned.

It's mentioned in the class description for Battle Cleric : o

Frederick is only missing out on one point of move though, since Great Knights have 7 move in this game, and the scans show Cavaliers have 7 and Paladins have 8 move. If he's anything like Seth, Titania or Marcus the 1 less move probably won't make too much of an impact.

Even if it wasn't mentioned already, I can understand Kanji to an extent.

This sounds great! I might actually make the Cavs into GKs when I play this game (the only thing putting me off from doing it in FE8 was MOV going DOWN, I wouldn't have cared if it just stayed the same like it seems it will do here but having things go DOWN on promotion is too much for me), Liz's alternate class sounds bizarre but it could be funny.


Just thinking, if there was a Bolt Axe or something like it in this game, Battle Cleric!Liz would be a perfect fit. Alas we likely won't have anything like that (and it'd only be one weapon anyway). She'll likely make for a great mage-killer in that class (w/ Hand Axes) in any case!

With all the weapon/magic crossing, I think weapons like that are a certainty, perhaps even multiple of them.

[Thor Odinson]

I hope we get different models for different weapons. I want to see Liz with the biggest axe in the game.

[CrashGordon94]

We probably will, FE9 and 10 did that.


And if Othin's right, I'll be like !

[Momo]

Cleric promotes to Battle Cleric (better Strength, +Axes)

Day one buy.

[Hawk King]

I am really excited for this game. I will definitely buy a 3DS just to play this.If this somehow doesnt come to North America i will lose all faith in Nintendo.

[Phailsoballer]

BRANCHED CLASSES. *girl scream* I have a choice again!

It does seem reasonable that this game might take on graphical design aspects from those games. I'm sure character models would give a clearer indication, if anyone feels like analyzing them.

Man, I'm also really glad about Great Knights not having the stupid Move loss, but what's with the decreasing other stats for some classes? Those differences are more minor, but it's just weird.

I think the negative speed gain is probably due to the gigantic Str and Def(7!) base stat gains the Cavalier gets from promoting to Great Knight. I'd imagine if Callum can promote to Great Knight he'd get a positive Speed gain and smaller Str and Def gains.

[H-Bastaki]

Sol looks a bit younger, so maybe he's Frederick's little brother or something like that?

wait Sol is a guy?

This makes sense, but what seems more strange is the Resistance loss from Cleric --> Sage.

To answer whoever suggested it before, it does make more sense that the charts are referring to caps, since the differences are so huge between choices and HP and Luck are excluded. Regardless, I hope growths are impacted somehow.

And people laughed at me for suggesting a magic class gaining axes upon promotion! WHO'S LAUGHING NOW?!

We must follow this to it's natural conclusion, MAGIC ARMOR KNIGHTS

[General Banzai]

Pretty clearly Valencia and Archanea now, either far into the future or far into the past. Or an alternate reality version.

Terra and Celes. Considering they could wear the heaviest armor (and the most knight-like swords) in the game.

But that picture looks fun.
