:The [[Fighter]], on the other hand, has traditionally been interpretable as one constant class throughout the series. Even the one time it didn't use [[axe]]s, in {{title|Gaiden}}, it can still be told as being the same class through the usage of Japanese names. Japanese names are the primary means of determining class lineage (i.e. it's why [[Priest]] and Curate don't have separate pages), although not the only such means (what English calls the [[Outlaw]] is too dissimilar from traditional [[Thief|thieves]] despite the Japanese name hinting continued lineage). | :The [[Fighter]], on the other hand, has traditionally been interpretable as one constant class throughout the series.

:As for the "European version came first, hence those names predominate" theory, that's stupid and only serves to confuse people; it's why this wiki has opted for American names first and foremost. Anyone viewing {{title|Shadow Dragon}} resources using European names will expect the same site's resources to use European names when it comes to other games, likewise anyone viewing resources of most other games released internationally using American names will expect the same site's resources for Shadow Dragon to likewise use American names. Such interchanging of American and European names only results in confusion. You can't expect people to call the late-game prepromoted {{ | :As for the "European version came first, hence those names predominate" theory, that's stupid and only serves to confuse people; it's why this wiki has opted for American names first and foremost.

:The Armored Lance, though, is fully identical to how the Knight class in every game but Fire Emblem 1 where they wield Swords, and Lances. In the fan translations for Thracia 776, Lance Armor is just called Armor Knight like in Genealogy. It should also be noted in my opinion, that Armor Knights, and Armored Lances have never appeared together unlike Cavalier, and Lance Knight. All things considered, I'd argue they're extremely constant, always a common class with its own category that wields Lances. | :The Armored Lance, though, is fully identical to how the Knight class in every game but Fire Emblem 1 where they wield Swords, and Lances.
