This is the list of classes in Fire Emblem Fates. Unlike previous Fire Emblem games the classes in Fates are different depending on the origin of the characters, that is to say that the classes are not the same between Nohr and Hoshido, even if it is possible to change the class of a character coming from Nohr to have a Hoshido class.
