2B outfit "cutouts"

(if there is another post on this already feel free to delete mine and/or direct me to the other)

Now, I love the fact that we now have a Nier raid, and Nier outfits. So when I rolled on the coffer and won it tonight, I was stoked....until I put it on....

The cut outs were so....bad....both on the front and the back in contrast to skin tone, but the back can be hidden with hair, the front???? not so much...being bothered by it, and not wanting to completely burn the outfit (or stuff it into a retainer to never be seen again...) I fantasia'd
Problem solved! Or is it?

As someone who may or may not have a fantasia problem and realizes some races have a lot of different colors they can be, there has to be a better way to do the dress mesh cutouts no??? Maybe it's just me? T.T (I mention here I see it's a dress mesh cutout. Dress meshs like this tend to show off faint skin tone from underneath in some form. While hard to recreate in FF that way couldn't it have matched the dress a tad more then? Since 2B's does?)

Those cutouts aren't showing skin though. They're just patterns on the dress.

The only part showing skin is the boob window, and that matches your skin tone.

Correct but if you see the actual dress design from Nier it's more of a black mesh, so shouldnt it match the dress tone then?

That's 100% an oversight...Hopefully they will/can fix it.

They probably should have used the same stuff that's on Viera racial gear (the see-through cloth)

I'd probably agree to it being an oversight, since that skin tone is probably the most common. Even if it meant to be that color, it does look a bit odd on a darker character.

I noticed the same issue with Minfilia's white dress - there's a panel at the top that seems to be intended as transparent fabric with a hint of skin colour through it, but when trying it on my green-skinned Roegadyn character, it doesn't reflect that colour. And i believe the bunny tights have the same issue?

It seems like it could be a running problem that they can't make things take on shades of skintone.

They do seem to be able to add sheer fabric though, so I wonder where the limitations are. Does it only work for loose drapes? Harder to implement for tight-fitting gear? Maybe it has to be a separate layer above the character's skin and ends up too bulky or something.

Try putting it on a Male character and see how bad it maybe :p

PS I see SE is finally giving players more Multi-gender outfits now.

It's just joining the club full of armor that is known to have a portion that just wont dye, or dye poorly but serves as a huge focal point and it makes the whole outfit not worth glamouring to something.

This outfit is very pretty, but I think that the "cutout" patterns should have just been black or grey, especially since there are so many different possible skin tones in the game. Alternatively, they could have made it so the "cutouts" switched to black when dyed like the white parts of the sleeves and gloves do. The tights have the same skin tone problem at least for grey skin tones (it seems to change to fit human ones) but there are many other tights in game that can be used instead that are similar that is isn't as annoying.
