I think it's important to remember that this is fantasy/anime inspired setting. Ninjas in fantasy are drastically inaccurate from actual shinobi of history. There is certainly a place for characters like this, however that is not how FFXIV presents their ninja. The ninja in FFXIV are very much the fantastical hand-sign weaving ninja of superstition that can replace themselves with a log when struck and can split into multiple forms and such. As I said before, I don't RP Manari being an actual "ninja" so she can't do hand signs create mirror images of herself or any of that stuff. She fights in a way that makes RP combat more exciting and engaging for both sides of the battle. Because it's not terribly fun if all you do is hide in a bush and spit poison tipped darts from a blowgun at people.
