- Fire Emblem Fates, the Diviner class evolves into Onmyoji--both using "scrolls" https://youtu.be/o23gCLGJ5AU?t=31
Except, y'know, not really contrasting with AST at all. If we didn't have AST, I'd say sure, but already those ofuda animations come extremely close to AST's floating deck of cards schtick.

The bird thing is whatever, although that feels like a concept pretty unique to Xenoblade and I wouldn't believe SE would just blatantly copy an "ofuda-origami" job from another title wholesale, at least not without putting a heavy spin on it like SGE. Maybe instead of birds it would be other animals and then you have your BST/PUP job.
