Follow-Up

The Forrest (Japanese: フォーレスト Forrest) is an advanced infantry class exclusive to Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War. One of the two promoted forms of the Sword Fighter, it is similar to the Hero of most other games, the Myrmidon in Gaiden, and the Mercenary of Thracia 776. It is a counterpart to the Swordmaster, the other promotion for the Myrmidon, featuring on average lesser Skill and Speed than the Swordmaster and a lack of Adept as a class skill in exchange for slightly higher magic.

Hero

Used in the Genealogy of the Holy War fan translation, in order to connect the class to the nearly-identical Hero class from almost all other games in the series.

Japanese

フォーレスト

Forrest; the exact etymology is unknown, but is speculated to come from the Danish forrest "foremost".[1] The name is unlikely to be related to a forest in the sense of a tree-dense expanse of land.
