I noticed that Callam has a screen with a forward, play, and pause feature. I wonder if replaying battles you've just finished (entire maps) is an option? It seems to be in a battle scene, but I don't see why you would want to replay a battle scene only, unless it's more like a character bio and for some reason there's an enemy match on the bottom screen.

MAGIC ARMOR KNIGHTS

Wasn't that pretty much the purpose behind the Baron class?

No no I mean Armor Knights who only use magic, Dual Wield Shields and punch the enemy to death with magic!

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

In battle you can see Krom wielding the Falchion. I assume they wouldn't have every sword he uses look like that, so I almost guarantee there will be different models.

Just saw this, it doesn't seem that big a surprise that Naga would be involved, but I'm a bit surprised that the game has two continents rather than one. Branching promotions also doesn't seem too surprising, though it will take some time to wrap my mind around the concept of an AxeCleric.

Excellent.

Well, Archanea being the starting place is just as expected. From what I understand, Valencia was depicted as closely associated with Archanea in FE2, so it makes sense, although it is a bit surprising. Hopefully they'll pull it off well.

Another earth dragon how many freaking enemies does narga have ? Why does he always have to get involved in everyone shit. For all this talk in fe4 about how holsety likes to mess around with human affairs how come he's only appeared in one game ,would be nice if he was the dragon this time would have been a welcome change.

I'm starting to wonder, what if Battle Cleric was in Radiant Dawn.....

[ShinRPGamer]

Female Axe-wielding clerics...Now I've seen everything.

On another note, I'm all but certain that Naga is the single most powerful entity in the Fire Emblem universe.

It does sort of make you wonder what the hell these Earth Dragon cults can offer people to convince them to be ridiculously and unrepentantly evil. Hasn't anyone ever heard of seizing political power without making a deal with the devil? C'mon, man.

A question for those capable of reading the scans properly: What's the stuff in those text boxes at the top right of the branching promotion images?

I'm also guessing that if branching promotions are in, class changing is out. Seems unlikely there'd be any way to do both.

Ronku bad with women? He does look kinda frustrated...

Seems to me that's been apparent since MU's class was confirmed.

There isn't any good way to do reclassing, period, so hooray!

I liked how FFTA did reclassing.

And the feature of "class change" in it's most general form has been around from the very beginning. After all, when units promote, they change their class: it's just that it's a one-way change and into a class that's almost always an improvement upon the old class.

With branched promotions and swappable skills it's like reclassing without having to actually reclass!

Well, even branched promotions are typically to classes that are highly similar to the original class. Reclass is more tactical, more a case of switching classes around to best suit the given situation, whereas promotion is more of an RPG element: it's about your character turning into a badass, an order of magnitude stronger than previously. FFTA wedded the two to a certain extent, with classes like Hunter, Summoner, or Gladiator feeling almost like direct upgrades to Archers, White Mages, and Soldiers respectively (and not being accessible initially).

Haven't played enough of FFTA to comment on it. If the system is anything like FFV's, it seems to me like a bit of a different matter.

Branched promotions clearly entail a changing of class, so it's obvious that that's not what he was referring to.

NUNSWITHAXES!

I'm reserving it even though there's no US release date. That's how awesome it is

[Espinosa]

Isn't promotion in fact called "class change" in Japanese FE?

[CrashGordon94]

It's officially called that in English FE too, just that we fans don't call it that.

[Refa]

The original Final Fantasy Tactics had the best reclassing, lol.
