Future DLC Names and Icons data-mined (spoilers)

[Slumber]

This DLC seems a lot more inspired than previous FE DLC, so this gives me hope for the future. That said, disappointed that they aren't adding playable axe classes as DLC. That seemed like a gimme, but I guess not.

There isn't. Axes are just vendor fodder.

What do you reckon these over-class names will be and what weapons will they use (if any new)?

We already know the names, don't we?

Altar of the Lance Knight (Cavalier Over-Class)
Altar of the Shielded Giant (Baron Over-Class)
Altar of the Black Crane (Pegasus Over-Class)
Altar of the Shadowy Maiden (Female Mage Over-Class)
Altar of the Virtuous Enchantress (Cleric Over-Class)
Altar of the Fearsome Warlord (Mercenary Over-class)
Altar of the War Elephant (Archer Over-class)
Altar of the Scholarly Sage (Male Mage Over-Class)
Altar of the Noble Queen (Celica's Over-Class)
Altar of the Great Conqueror (Alm's Over-Class)

Worst case they just shorten the name (ie: Scholar, Queen, Warlord, etc)

The names in the DLC are just fancy titles, so the actual class names will probably be different. Maybe similar in essence.

I imagine Celica and Alm could be Queen and Conqueror though. The rest could be literally anything.

I can see them all being fancy on purpose, though, just because they're not just classes they're ~over classes~

Lance Knight, War Elephant & Black Crane specifically all seem like distinct class titles along side the more flowery ones. We'll see though, I'm guessing series 3 stuff will be detailed more at the end of may or start of june.

If you mean in the localization, I'd guess something like

• I honestly can't think of a way to make Lance Knight sound cool
• Colossus
• Crane Knight
• Dark Priestess
• Enchantress
• Warlord
• War Elephant if it's a literal elephant, Ballista Knight otherwise
• Can't think of anything that isn't just ripping off Archsage 
• Queen
• Conqueror

I kinda feel like the Japanese names will stay what we know.

I'd personally say Juggernaut and

maybe since it's a 3rd tier mage Archsage would be most fitting?

Conqueror is a Mounted Class in Awakening and it did belong to Alm's descendant, Walhart. I don't see the icon have Alm have a horse, I totally think Alm will might get a different class title.

Even without a horse (or axes, for that matter) it can still be Conqueror as a call ...forward? call back? Classes game to game get changes all the time, after all. 

[Iridium]

Yo, is "Great Conqueror" literally Conqueror, or is it just being translated from Overlord?

Similarly, is Elephant the same as the ballista known as Pachyderm?

Might change a few things. 

[B.Leu]

Overlord class would be way too cool and dark for Alm.
If War Elephant is a thing then we got the winner for the weirdest named class of the game. :p

Can't wait for the French translation of them.

It's kinda hard to explain without going into linguistics ^^;;;

Alm's altar is literally "Conqueror King" or "Conquest King" (覇王).

"Elephant" is an interpretation; it (巨象) could also be a "colossus" (as in an elephant sized thing). Or even both (a giant elephant).

EDIT: I should have put a disclaimer not to read too much into the translations. A lot of translations depend on the context and there's very little context here.

[Mysterique Sign]

I was about to ask if the names were in Kana or Kanji

While on the subject of translations

The Dark Saint and the Swordswoman

Swordswoman stood out to me. The only woman classes in Echoes that uses swords is the Villager and Celica's classes. 

Anything in the wording that implies if she's just a villager or gets to have fun with the other sword classes? Half her cipher cards are swords

You can read her title as "Young Swordmistress" (literally 剣豪少女, Swordmaster [Young] Girl).

But it's just a title and may not be accurately reflected.

Ah, bummer. Thanks for the clarification.

I want to think all the Cipher mascots will have unique classes, like the amiibo summons.

Also like Minerva in Fates.

But it's hard to tell since suitable classes already exist for 3 of them (Cavalier for Lando, Pegasus for Ema and Witch/Mage/Saint for Shade).

Lando could be a Cav with Swords named slightly differently. Maybe Emma could be unto Echoes as Minerva was to Fates, in a comparable-but-different class to Pegasus Knight? And Shade could just be an Awakening/Fates-esque Dark Mage or something.

[Armagon]

Just a thought: if Lando does get his own class, would he be dual-weilding swords, at least asthetically, similar to Fates Swordmasters? Lando is usually depicted dual-wielding swords and having a dual-wielding Cavalier would just be awesome.

Small JP Site update

The second Gift from the Goddess is a one time free Villager's Fork, used to allow a character to class change into Villager

Wait, so we only get one Villager's Fork?

Just one, which means only one character per playthrough.

We don't know if they have plans for the other DLC to have a method of obtaining more.but at the moment this is the only known way of obtaining one

[r_n]

I'd be surprised if none of the subsequent DLC had a fork as an item. Either as a rare drop in the next set of grind dlc or a reward from doing something in the last set of dlc.
