Astelaine Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 i'd still rather take blade lord over any of these made-up compound words that sound like they come from fanfics written by middle schoolers I agree with Dondon. "Blade Lord" or "Lorca" are the most straightforward choices. "Samurai"/etc are not culturally appropriate, "Hunter," "Ranger," and "Nomad" aren't specific enough and clash with other FE classes, and "Swiftblade" does indeed sound like it's out of a middle-schooler's fanfic. There is a medieval Mongolian word that may be appropriate - "Beki" (princess/noble lady) - but it's really not accessible. Just stick with what you have.

Gryz Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Alternatively, perform some asm voodoo and make the tactician name entry screen reappear and allow the damn player to give the Sacaen Skank whatever class name you want! EVERYONE WINS!!! except whoever has to do the asm. I swear, this was a trap deliberately set-up by Arch. He knows the FE community can never come to a consensus on names.

Anouleth Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 (edited) Lyn was also a lord back in Lyn Mode. Despite being a random girl with no political power. Despite being a girl. Also Eliwood is a Lord even though he's not a lord. His father is a Marquis (and his class is Peer). Hector is a Lord but not a lord. Roy is a Lord but not a lord. And Zealot is a lord, but he's not a Lord because he's a Paladin. Ephraim and Eirika are prince and princess respectively. But they also get the Lord class! And the very first lord, Marth, was not a lord either, he was also a prince. who the fuck cares i'd still rather take blade lord over any of these made-up compound words that sound like they come from fanfics written by middle schoolers <3 because as arch said the three lords are no longer lords But they were NEVER lords. In fact, there's only one Lord who was ever really a lord, and that's Ike. Personally, I support giving Lyn the class name "Boobblade".

Crimson Red Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 (edited) Since Lyn is worthy of wielding Mani ad Sol Katii, I'd call Lyn Edgeworth. Easily the best comment related to this discussion thus far Personally, I support giving Lyn the class name "Boobblade". Second-best IMO followed by Dondon's little ragefest, oh man that hurt my gut Arch why do you make such awesome threads, roflmao Edited May 25, 2012 by Sirius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryan Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 I'm in favor of leaving it as Blade Lord. Lorca(n) sounds too plain. :( As much as it's in another FE, Trueblade could work. It's better than Swiftblade IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crimson Red Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 not everything i say is a ragefest fan clubs like mine tend to be dramatic about everything the people we adore say, my dear dondon <3 Blazer is one of those people who's heard of this trolling thing but doesn't quite have a handle on what it means, so whenever someone disagrees with someone or posts a dissenting opinion, they're "raging". Anouleth is one of those people who doesn't understand other people but think s/he does AKA an unnecessary smartass but it's okay, the world needs a few smart-asses because it makes everyone else look better @Bryan I think Trueblade won't work because of what you said, it implies a similar to the class from FE10, which makes me think "tier 3, extremely powerful/fast", stuff like that. If I saw "Trueblade" I'd expect to see a mimic of the FE10 battle animation attached to it as well I also think Blade Lord is even better than "Lorca(n)" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's wearing a little thin by now, so let the adults talk, 'kay? I think Blade Lord would honestly be okay, because the alternatives we're coming up with are... 90% pure shit, 10% still not as fitting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arch Posted May 26, 2012 Author Share Posted May 26, 2012 Done. It will not be "Blade Lord." She's no longer a "Lord" in the sense that Fire Emblem uses the term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jubby Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 Lyn- The Swordfighter of SacaeLyn now lives with her grandfather as Lady Lyndis of Castle Caelin. Under her loving care, Lord Hausen recovers, and now the two of them go for many walks in the Caelin gardens. On clear, dry nights, Lyn can be seen high atop a hill near the castle. Perhaps she is remembering the home of her youth, the plains of Sacae... Lyn- Noblewoman of Sacae Lyn entrusted Caelin's rule to Ostia and returned to the plains of her birth. She often thinks fondly on the people of Caelin. You could use Noblewoman or Swordfighter :P They're the legit character endings :3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anouleth Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 Also now that you've made the change I should probably point out how tribe names do not work that way. We don't call Cherokees "Cherokeean" or Navajos "Navajoan". She's no longer a "Lord" in the sense that Fire Emblem uses the term. And what sense is that?

We don't call Cherokees "Cherokeean" or Navajos "Navajoan". And what sense is that? The sense that she's no longer a leader or a driving character in the main plot that happens to be of noble lineage. Kent and Sain are more or less escorting Lyn to the Kutolah settlement as friends, plus EN has no main plot, and Lyn abdicated her title. Thus "Lord" by FE standard no longer applies. :p Plus, the Sacaens aren't entirely based off of the Native American tribes. Some aspects of them seem to come from the Turkic Nomads from what I can gather. Edited May 26, 2012 by The Illusive Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arch Posted May 26, 2012 Author Share Posted May 26, 2012 And what sense is that? As you pointed out, the term isn't necessary reflective of their actual title as a noble. It's obviously a term used within the series to denote the starring character of a game. That's how it's always been used; the only entry not to adhere to this is FE10. Lyn is not a "Lord" in Elibian Nights, and thus her class name shall reflect that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
