    I think Jill is a great character she’s strong without being a “man with tits” she’s pretty while wearing practical clothes. Which is why I think it’s a shame she feels under utilized. The game has a huge lack of banter while traveling around which is a great way for games to make their characters feel more present.

      Do you think the game not having the FF traditional party is why she feels underutilized?

        I do think it’s a major factor. It first jumped out at me when I loaded into a zone and when the camera was done panning Clive was the only one in the shot.
        In say FFVIIR all 3 chars would be in shot. It’s minor but stuff like that for sure adds up.
