Summary
APokemonfan has illustrated what Psyduck would look like as differentFinal FantasyJobs like Black Mage, Monk, and more.PokemonandFinal Fantasyfan art has been around since both franchises began, but this is a rare instance of both being combined.
SincePokemon Red and Bluewere released, fans have been creating art revolving around the series. This often includes different types for existing Pokemon, regional variants, and entirely unique Pokemon that fans would like to see added to the series. Similarly,Final Fantasygamers have depicted existing, and unique characters based on that universe since 1987. Given both franchises are Japanese RPGs, they have some player crossover, but the fan art rarely bridges the gap. OnePokemonfan has decided to imagine what Psyduck may look like intheFinal Fantasyworld, showing the Pokemon in different garb to reflect various Jobs.
Twitter user Oliver Hamlin recently sharedPokemonfan art portraying Psyduck as differentFinal Fantasycharacters. The image sequentially shows Psyduck as a White Mage, Black Mage, Warrior, Monk, Red Mage, and Thief. Psyduck’s hair pokes through the top of the white and red White Mage robe; its eyes glow yellow in the darkness underneath the Black Mage hat; it stands proudly with a sword and shield as a Warrior; it wears a black Gi and matching headband as a Monk; it has a frilly cloth and winged hat as a Red Mage; it has a green tunic and orange bandanna as a Thief. Beyond the changing outfits, Psyduck’s temperament adjusts to fit each Job, with a stern expression as a Thief and a softer glance as theFinal FantasyWhite Mage.
Psyduck Receives a Final Fantasy Job Makeover in This Fan Art
The fan art appears to draw inspiration from the character lineup in the originalFinal Fantasy, in which each Job has evolved versions like the Knight for the Warrior, Ninja for the Thief, and Wizards for each mage class. Oliver Hamlin has suggested that they’d like to revisit this concept with differentFinal Fantasy 3,Final Fantasy 5, andFinal Fantasy Tacticsclasses, meaning more fan art may appear in the future. Among the missing Jobs suggested by fans are Bard, Beastmaster, Chemist, Dark Knight, Dragoon, Gunbreaker, Ninja, Paladin, Pirate, Puppetmaster, Rogue, Samurai, and Summoner. Beyond the other Jobs players would like to see, some Twitter users also recommended using Farfetch’d, Squirtle, Tepig, andFinal Fantasy’s Tonberryas templates in the future. Outside thisFinal FantasyandPokemonmashup, some fans also want to see the artist’s take onBravely DefaultandChrono Triggercharacters.
Given how manyFinal FantasyJobsand characters there are, Oliver Hamlin could be busy making Psyduck fan art for a while. As it’s hard to time how long fan art may take, like any creative expression, it’s unclear when their next piece will be shared.
