While it would be cool if Paris was a future Lord, it would be pretty bizarre if he could support and have kids in this game.

I was jokingly thinking he might be

Spoiler -

the first holy king of Iris

but then him having kids would be EVEN weirder.

"Hey, Krom. I'm now your great-great-great-grandmother."

Even in spite of that, I think it's the most plausible theory, since with them making such a big deal out of him, he has to show up somewhere. We don't have the information to make sense out of him otherwise, from the way it looks.

Might also be some Naga/Nagi situation, perhaps. Either way, I'm sure Paris is connected to him somehow.

And really, given MU's pairing options already, I'm not sure it would be any stranger.

So, is it confirmed that Paris has his own class?

Well, all we have to go on is a map sprite, so no, we really can't confirm anything.

The identity of this Paris has me more intrigued than Masked Marth back from before the game was released. Too many possibilities for who this person is...

Given Daisuke Ono is his VA, good chance he will be pretty.

Watch him be some monster reincarnated from one of the older Fe's now. Heheheh.

Playable Gheb? Could be interesting.

Would love to see IS have a DLC chapter with Denning, Gheb, Batta, Glass and any other memes I'm forgetting fight the Japanese fanbases memes.

Paris is a city in France

mystery solved

Oh come on that's like absurd, there's no way that makes any sense.

He's probably Paris from The Iliad. So, he'll be a sniper or something.

With a shield and a cape.

Could he be a Baron or an Emperor?

He is not that armored.

[Trickster]

He is not that armored.

Well that's from Fe4 and 5 were every knight had armor. And if you think about moving from Fe4 Mage Knight to Fe8 Mage Knight the lose almost all their armor.

Barons and Emperors were "Armored" classes though, like Armor Knights/Generals. (By all means Barons and Emperors are tier 3/4 respectively of that line)
It's not a case of "Oh look, lots of armor on that guy, but later the same class isn't as armored", this dude is clearly not as heavily armored as a Baron or Emperor who'd essentially be as armored as a General.

hey is it just me but does it vaugley resemble the peer class elbert and fado have but was never playable

I heard that Ike's beta name was Paris like someone said before. I don't think that this person would be Ike but probably a Lord character from a future game (perhaps traveled through the Other-World Gate), a hero from the past who was previously unnamed, or maybe he is Ike or one of his ancestors or descendants.

A hero class would fit Ike well enough since he used axes and swords in Radiant Dawn. If Paris were Ike, Ike's ancestor, or Ike's descendant then that would perhaps explain why the sprite looks like a hero class with a cape.

The class might be a unique class though that can only use swords which would fit the picture of a past hero better in my opinion.

Seeing as Paris was the beta name for the protagonist that ended up being Ike, I think it's quite possible that Path of Radiance started out with a different story and setting when it was in it's early development and later turned into the story that is the current Path of Radiance. If this is true then I think that Paris is a completely different character than Ike and was set aside for use in a later game.

Whichever way, the unveiling of his portrait, sprite, and class will be something to look forward to.

[Celice]

Well, though Paris was the name, several of the characters remained the same, and Dain was still the antagonist in the screenshots (I believe). Ragz units still existed--so it seems the frame was pretty established by that point. It's just smaller alterations along the way that change, like Ike's name. Maybe the connotations of Paris just didn't fit anymore for where that character was heading?



Are there actually any other pictures which use 'Paris' as the name? This is the only one I've known of.

The Paris screenshot seems to be from a very early build of FE9, possibly earlier than the ones most people are familiar with (where it shows Ike and some of the Greil's Mercenaries + Lethe on this town-like map).

For instance, the enemy in the screenshot isn't a Daein soldier, but a Deros soldier. However, the prototype map doesn't even feature a place named Deros (presumably Deros became Daein). The numbers in the screenshot also suggest we're looking at a mock up, what with the numbers being near-identical and a hit rate of 12 for both characters is almost impossible to get normally.

[Agro]

I'm sorry, could we see a picture of this "Paris" fellow? I've looked all over the site and I can't find anything that even mentions Paris :(

[VincentASM]

I'm assuming you mean FE13 Paris? If so, here. There isn't anything known about them except their name appears in the credits (as a voiced character) and a mystery character appears in MU and (I think) female Mark's support library, which hints at them (Paris?) being a SpotPass gaiden recruitable character.
