But they didn't 'just age her up', they say she's a full witcher now which given her powers and the process of becoming a witcher, isn't needed UNLESS you're going to pull a 'it's her turn now' bs.
Which also means, that isn't Ciri, it's not going to be written as HER STORY and she won't act like Ciri, just a bad Ciri cosplay for another annoying 'girlboss' character.
Which...how did she become a witcher? And why? She had better powers already.
Also it conflicts with some endings of witcher 3.
Lastly, the manjaw...
One of the 'gaming media' is putting out there that she did the trial of the grasses, you know, the one that literally rips you apart from the inside to mutate you into a witcher.
This probably means the ending of her gaining a silver sword from Geralt to be a 'witcher' is cannon but in that she hunted a monster BEFORE they met in the inn so safe to assume she had her powers still after taking on the White frost. So why go through a trial that has a high chance of killing people?
If they just have a game set after W3 as Ciri, then she would be op as fuck and with the wild hunt dealt with, be a lot more light hearted. But we are getting too many red flags already to think they can actually portray Ciri anymore.
Well, yeah, but like...why. That's the only way to do it, unless they made some other shit up to justify it. Also, she had more power than a witcher. Why go backwards?
Also, I'm pretty sure the trials kill all women, and only men are witchers, unless I missed something. I didn't get super into the witcher stuff, so I'm not an expert on every bit of lore involved.
According to the wiki, there's a special girl version. It kills 9 in 10 girls who take it, as opposed to the 7 in 10 of boys of the regular version. So basically it's a retcon that explains how Ciri did it and it's totally always existed and you just haven't heard about it.
