So info on the last Grandis hero (assuming) came out and it's named Esfera. And so I decided to check what "Maple" is in Spanish.

so here's my theory depending on how Arce is pronounced, and then how it would be pronounced with a Korean accent. but it's a REEEEEEEEEEEAL stretch.
Angelic Buster
Ilium
Kaiser
Cadena
Esfera

    yeah google says arce = maple but also arca which means ark in spanish
    as for esfera it means, sphere, realm, clock, province etc so if it is a job then it may either use a spherical weapon or something within the theme

    It says it will be officially revealed on December 14, which is probably the same day it will be released to the test servers, so check back soon!
    It is currently 8:41 AM in Korea, so maybe late tonight we might get something.
    This is going off of my own time zone though (EST) which is 3 hours ahead of PST and..
    uh.. a lot of hours behind UTC. I think like 5 or something.

    In Spanish, "arce" is pronounced "ar-say"

    However, the KMS update is spelled "Ark", and it's not necessarily Spanish (since the last Area, Morass, was based off an old English word). My bet is on it being a literal ark.

    Turns out Ark is the actual class name, Esfera is the sixth installment of Arcane River

    um please next time ask someone that actually speaks spanish... google translate its not perfect
    by the way "arce" is not pronounced "ar-say" unless youre trying to change the spanish pronunciation into english like most americans do
    oh what gives... ill tell you regardless actually in spanish you are not limited to one pronunciation for example
    arce = arce / arce = arke / arce = arqe / arce = arque just to show a few examples
    also the letter "e" sound its not "ay" its "e" like "he" or "hello"
    gosh obtuseness like this should be enough to rescind... then again am neutral~

    In Spanish, "c" is pronounced softly when written as "ce". "Say" may not be the most accurate transliteration, but it's close.
    Spanish speakers confirming.
    Wiktionary with IPA pronounciation.
    Castilian (European) pronunciation: /ˈaɾθe/
    Latin-American pronunciation: /ˈarse/
    Your specific pronunciation of the soft "c" might be slightly different depending whether you're using Latin-American Spanish or European Spanish, but neither of them have a hard "c" sound.


    "He" and "Hello" are pronounced very differently. If anything it would be pronounced like the "e" in "hello", but definitely not the "e" in "he".
    "He" is pronounced /hi/, whereas "hello" is pronounced /həˈləʊ̯/, or more simply, "he" has a long "e" sound and "hello" has a short "e" sound.
    "Hee" as opposed to "Hell oh"
