It's entirely possible that when they started, she was going to go green mage, but that job design couldn't make it work in time. Also, it's entirely possible that Alphinaud was supposed to be PIC as teased, but that the story team nixed it after seeing the concept drawings.

A lot of stuff gets changed mid-development which leads to early teases sometimes not paying off.
