I'm amazed whenever...

I hope that they'll eventually tie in more Gelmorra lore. It seems largely forgotten in 2.x+

Unfortunately, I don't see how it'll happen with the Garlean invasion being the main storyline Yoshi wants to focus on.

I'm forever salty they retconned Estinien from being very clearly a Dusk to the same porcelain, pale skin of most Ishgardian Elezan.

You know what would be a decent excuse? Dusks are melding into Grid/Ishgard so much that the notable physical traits of Duskwrights are fading away. Make them a dying breed.

It'd also be nice if the few times we do see Duskwights, they aren't all just out to get us. The only times I can recall meeting Duskwight NPCs is when one of them is trying to harm/screw over the WoL as some minor inconvenience/troublemaker. I don't mind them being rare, but it seems like all the quests we do involving Duskwights put them in a really unsympathetic light, which seems kinda out of place in the game's writing. Almost every story in this game involving a certain antagonist group has some sort of reminder that they aren't all bad.

I'm pretty sure all the Duskwights I've come across were villains of some sort... well except for the ones surveying the ruins. :(

Estinien was a duskwight? I do not recall that.. but then I did the LNC/DRG quests in 2.1, and that was ages ago. Do you have screenshots? I'd love to see side by sides.

There are a few NPCs that are apparently Duskwight in their file data, it's just near impossible to tell because of their skin tone. For example, Miounne is a Duskwight. House Dzemael also seem to be Duskwights, but they're Ishgardian so I don't think it counts lorewise. I would be nice to have more canonical Duskwights around.

Funnily enough there's also a bunch of custom NPCs that use Duskwight as their base. Like Ysayle, Nael, and Count Edmont(?!), although lorewise none of them are Duskwight either.

I sometimes think about changing to duskwight, i definitely agree there should be more prominent duskwight elezen npcs.

Whenever there's a pale-skinned duskie I just eye-roll. It's like having the most boring version, and it's basically impossible to tell. So yeah, not only do I want more duskwights, I want more blue skinned variants, not whitey "I'm exotic inside" variants.

I agree; I don't see the point of making a Duskwight look like a Wildwood. I cannot tell the difference. >.< I hope a expansion will bring some more lore about them some day, maybe even some underground zones.

Screencaps, of course. The dark blue-grays, grays, and charcoals have terrible contrast in screenshots. You have to work far harder to take a decent selfie. :)

Just use the lighting and filter options on /gpose if the contrast is messed up. I'm not the best at screencaps as I've only just started using /gpose... but I don't think my characters look that bad...
