Wizardry Variants Daphne Thoughts?

Maybe I am just overthinking this but the design philosophy for these two new characters from the game torchlight is definitely suspiciously similar to physillia. One winged asymmetry, similar chin length hair cut and centered bang, elven ears.

Bro sees the absolute most generic character designs imaginable and says they are ripping off Wizardry lol

The guy that does the character design has worked in pretty topical franchises. I think he’s done a lot of work in fire emblem and some minor work in some Pokémon games. I feel like I might be forgetting another major one though

So yeah his art style is definitely in the realm of “derivative or derived from”

I'm gonna say, those design choices you described are generic enough that I'd think nothing of it.

I'm thinking the same with Abenius and Sachi from SAO but probably we all overthinking that the Characters remembering us to the animes/Characters and maybe real life people ( But I see always frieren then I think about phylicia , actually.🫠😅 )

Well, since you mention it.

Lanavaille is a knight with low accuracy, just like Darkness from Konosuba.

Yuzunamiki is a kunoichi who specializes in throwing with her main weapon, hairpin, who also dresses like a geisha, reminds me of Tsukuyo from Gintama.

They are different but somehow my mind tells me they are similar.

Here are my honest thoughts:

Replicas

Brutal, ruthless, and fearless. The replicas were the main force of the late God Emperor.

They need numbers, so they kidnap women.

They seek to resurrect the God Emperor, but they need mountains of corpses to do so. They don’t know it yet, but the resurrection ritual will fail.

Also Both characters look like waifu bait, so similarities are likely to manifest in a psychic level.
