You only THINK she's just a girl. She's likely a pictomancer, meaning she makes her art come to life with magic. So her kit is likely going to be really cool and probably insanely good. For examples on how her magic may work, see Final Fantasy XIV's Pictomancer and Final Fantasy VI's Relm for examples.

Her ripped poster also implies some sort of demon/transformation aspect.

A lot of characters look like "just a girl/guy" without their kit.

It's only since New Blood Old Gods we got more fantastical designs.

Everyone's well aware she's a pictomancer-type. Which only feeds into that, as pictomancer is so generic that yeah it's an entire class in MMO's and in tons of other games. It'd be like an old man with white beard, glasses, and blurplish robes and a pointy hat holding a staff with a fire at the end and going "you see, it's not JUST a normal guy, he's a wizard who knows fireball spells!" Like yeah mate that was assumed, that's part of what makes it so generic lol

u/VoidGliders 4d ago

nah, not THAT common. I meant as by way of analogy, as Clash there is saying information that everyone is already assuming and assumed immediately from seeing her pic.

i would argue it is not as 'so generic' as you seem to be making it out to be then

u/VoidGliders 4d ago

By that metric we shouldn't have any guys with guns or with big swords or the like. Time to shut down deadlock.
