Feedback on Character Design

Hey hi! I know I've done a similar post and i don't want to clutter the thread with my junk... but i need a little help. I can't decide between these two skin tones. I know that it should only matter to me how my character looks, but i seriously can't really decide. I just need some feedback on which looks better. so please and thank you! After this i will pester no more!

Why are you asking us what looks better if we're never going to see or notice him? After one week you probably won't see his skin tone anymore because it'll be covered. It's not like he has any distinguishing features. He looks just like every other popstar-Bieber/Thancred-wannabe in the game.

Oh, and welcome to the game!

They look the same to me

I literally cannot tell the difference.

Hey! Unless you're living 2 years in the past, I don't think Bieber's hair looks like that anymore. (I guess square enix must have copied Bieber's look for Tiz Arrior. He's really got that "popstar-Bieber"-wannabe look down too!) And you came off as a little pretentious and opinionated. Which is fitting considering your character personifies those traits. I guess you could say those are your character's "distinguishing features."

Oh, and thank you!

I can see the difference. o/

I'm going to guess that the first skin tone is just a shade or two above the second. While moving vertically on the color palette, the skin tones in character creation are weird sometimes. You can go from a caucasian/otherwise "white" skin tone with pink hues, to asian with yellowy undertones. But I digress... Taking all of the colors into account, personally, I like the look of the second skin tone. His hair is light and ashy-brown, which compliments the slightly paler skin. But. It is most important that YOU are happy with your character's appearance.

Good luck!! I hope you are able to enjoy the game soon. \(^. ^)/

I prefer the skin tones with more red in them. It makes them look healthier than the skin tones with more blue in them.

So I say, go with the 'warmer' of the two ^^

i like the 1st one i looks more smooth

Also you look much healthier.

Now if you had an awkward name or so to match your second skin tone, I'd stick with the first one.

What i would suggest is make the character with the name you know you want and play it to get a feel for the lighting on the skin tone. This frees you to progress. Meanwhile you can save the template and make an additional char one a less populated server to do tests around town, as the lighting in game is much different then that in the creator. Once you are happy with the way your demo looks just fantasia with the vet reward one.

For the record I think 2 looks better for what you are going for.

The decision is about what you like, not what the rest of us like. Personally, I'd probably go for the first one, as I like the slightly warmer tone, but then I tend to pick deeper colors in the hair as well, and Nane-chan has a point about the paler skin complementing the light colored hair. They both look good.

There are a couple options if you decide later you want to change anything in your appearance:

1) At level 15, there's a quest called "Beauty is Only Scalp Deep" that unlocks the aesthetician. This allows you to change several (though not all) aspects of your character's appearance. It's free the first time you use it and available for 1000 gil thereafter. (Early in the game, that's a lot of gil, but as you progress further, and gil starts to roll in faster, it soon looks quite reasonably-priced.) I know hairstyle and color can be changed. I believe skin tone is another of the features that can be changed. Can anyone confirm that part? If not, I'll check this evening when I get home.

2) There's a potion called Fantasia that allows you to re-do all of the appearance options on your character (even race and gender if you want, but not your name). You'll receive one the first time you extend your subscription beyond the initial trial month you get with purchase of the game. The only way to get more than that one is to pay real money for them through the MogStation.

wow! lol you are alarmingly correct on the "one or two above" with the shades. It's only 2 up vertically on the palette. Kudos to you and your eye for detail! :D that's very impressive. And i see what you're saying about the tones; the color palette can be odd. Your post was very insightful. I think you're saying that the second one is the paler one? And thank you very much for your opinion and your time! It's very much appreciated! ^-^

And I'll be enjoying the game very soon!

Then don't. There's enough useless threads on this forum and you're not helping. Especially with a thread as trivial and asinine as this.

What's done is done, bb. ;)

Also! I'd just like to point out that you're not the first green-haired, dark-skinned Elezen to be rude in this thread. Which is incredibly weird. What an odd coincidence.

A big thanks to all that have genuinely helped! So, thank you! :D
