This week Atlus USA produced a trailer for the Sovereign (also known as the Prince/Princess) class. For a class with such a straightforward visual concept, they’re rather unorthodox. The Sovereign is a specialized support class that can add useful buffs to your allies’ attacks or give them resistances. You may even aid them in evading enemy attacks (scummy Ninjas looking out only for themselves, harumph, very ignoble.) They can also debuff your enemies. Why aren’t they more about the front lines? Well….noblesse oblige and all that.
As usual, the #EMDMysterybox promotion continues once again, so if you want to participate, share the trailer on Facebook or Twitter.
Continue reading to check out the Atlus USA class description and the short character class trailer. The following media can probably only be appreciated by non-plebeian types.
Soft! What light mace upon yon fanged howler vine breaks? One doth dare not to thumb thy nose at Sovereignty! Only fools and cowards forget to bow before royalty. Wretched, bloody and usurping boar! You, minion are too saucy and I’ll tickle your catastrophe!
The Sovereign is no slippery and subtle knave like the Ninja. No! As a descendant of royalty, breathing the vapor of dungeons clad in heavy plated armor is a class staple of the Sovereign. Taking strikes for their people and inspiring commoners with their own magnanimity is an everyday task.
Forsooth, because of the Sovereign’s natural tendency to buff and protect those below them, they art the most wonderous of companions. Though do keepeth this in mind: thou doth not chooseth the Sovereign to beest in thy party. No, the Sovereign chooseth thee.
