And skin color. So annoying that once you're locked into a skin color, you're limited to so many gear/hair colors without clashing.
Something to rub on the skin which alters the pigment similar to how the Chocobo's have fruits they can eat which change their plumage.
Not hard to develop a lore reason for its existence.
Please...
Yes!! I've been craving blue hair on my character for MONTHS but I can't have blue hair AND blue eyes.
Pls SE, a pallette change shouldnt cost 10 bucks! D:
I do agree with the eyes, I mean they do have colored contacts, shouldn't be that far fetched in a way.
It is kind of weird that you can completely change the shape of your eyebrows in ways that aren't even possible with a little trimming, but you can't do something reasonable like put in coloured contacts. :l
What about an alchemic recipe that allows you to create a potion, like fantasia, that only unlocks skin/eye color?
All I have to say on the matter is….PLEASE, THANKS!.... I normally change my hair/fur colour every other week, but eyes and skin tone? That’s a whole new ball game.
I'd love for them to do it, especially since au ra can change their imbral eye color ... how is that even possible lore-wise?
But it's not gonna happen considering that they seem set in making small tweaks part of Fantasia:
Quote:
A wondrous item for the ultimate makeover!
The miraculous phial of Fantasia grants you an opportunity to edit your character's appearance in any fashion you desire.
From tiny tweaks in hair style or muscle tone, to drastic changes in race and gender, this item is perfect for those who made hasty decisions at the character creation screen, or who simply wish to give their online avatar a fresh new look.
I hope they add this.
Highly doubt they're going to go back and change this. Fantasia is too profitable.
Blame the players who begged SE to cash shop it. SE was contemplating eye color changes being at the Aesthetician, but players were begging for Fantasia around the same time, so go figure they made the decision they made.
When you dangle a steak in front of a dog, you can bet the dog will take it eventually and want more.
fantasia really should be for race/ sex change only.
all other customizations should be ingame...no bizarre 4 star craft alc. remedy either .... errr just let us change at the aesthetician plz

i blame you
Yoshi specifically told us we would be able to change our eye colours with using the salon dude.
Guess he lied. I don't give a crap for the lore reasons and the name behind it. If you want more
let Cid make coloured contacts or something with Ironworks idc, SOMETHING lol.
Ugh really I need this. Suddenly I'm bored with my blue and white eye color. (And I have a reason can't purchase fantasia). We really need this stuff please :(
Don't put words in peoples' mouths.
Specifically from the Live Letter X (http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...2-02-2013%29):
"A: In addition to hairstyle, you can also change your hair color, eyebrows, face paint, face paint color, facial hair, scars, tattoos, and tattoo color. We're still discussing if skin and eye color should be customizable."
Obviously they decided no on both counts. It would be nice though.
0:57:45 Q: What features will we be able to change in the barber shop? A: You will be able to change your character's hairstyle, hair color, eye color, scars, face paint, and face paint color. The barber shop will be released in patch 2.1, so don’t worry too much about not being able to change aspects of the character you initially created.

Well excuse me Princess, I didn't know he responded again to it. So he changed his mind after saying the original statement.
This is asking for too much. At least for the aesthetician to be able to change your eye/skin colour. Sure he can simply give you eye contacts but that's not practical considering that the aesthetician can add a full length of hair on a clean shaven head, trim, and paint your face. Skin color....wat
I do however agree on an alchemy recipe or even a Gold Saucer medicine you could drink to be able to change your eyes/skin.
However, for it to make sense it would have to be extremely hard to get(MGP cost, recipe difficulty, material rarity). If it's something just handed to you then it would defeat the purpose of FFXIV being an MMO and SE making money off of Phantasias. It would absolutely have to be borderline impossible to get if you guys want this change for free.
Lest we all change our eye colours everyday in the week and paint them the colours of a rainbow.
I agree for the eye colour change. I understand if they would not implement it.
On PS3 when I made my character I never noticed, or it never had the option to have different coloured eyes.
I only ever saw the option when I tried to make a 2nd character on PS4.
I think it's a bit odd that race and sex changes cost the same as a simple eye colour change, muscle gain, a tan and a boob job. It would be nice if we could change everything except race and sex with gil, perhaps with a higher price. The Aetherochemical Research Facility probably has some kind of elixirs cooked up and they could be sold by those robot balls in Azys Lla for 50k-100k gil.
I wonder if all of the people in this topic who "just" want to change their eye/skin color, height, boob size, muscle sliders, basically-everything-except-race-and-gender, etc. are aware that they're the very market for Fantasias that SE undoubtedly wants to retain...
There's nothing wrong with this suggestion, for sure, but I see a very low likelihood of this ever happening.
I personally don't see an issue with eye color change being outside of the fantasia but others such as skin color change and such are stupid for the most part. At best I could see maybe a 1 or 2 shade option from the selected color but thinking going full Michael Jackson is normal and should be in the list of options outside of fantasia is pretty out there.
I had to buy a Fantasia to just change eye color for my Hayley character. She's based off the singer in real life, and some photos I saw of her had her with blue eyes, so I changed them to blue. But later after talking to people on a Celtic Woman forum (which she used to tour with that music group), I found out again that her eyes are truly green. So I then bought ONE Fantasia just to change her eyes back to green. I support this thread, plus changing skin tone. I think Fantasias should only be needed to change race, body appearances besides hair/eyes brows/makeup/face paint/bust size/muscle tone etc., and gender.
Oh no! Heaven forbid players can customize their characters in the way they desire! The absolute horror!
[edit] This is why I far prefer barber shop systems like that in Rift or WildStar, where every change adds on to the price, either in gold or real life currency.
Would be nice if you had 24 hours at least to make final changes to a character before it becomes finalized. It's hard to tell somethings in the character creator even with the multiple backgrounds. And yeah I'm all for a bit more selection when it comes to the aesthetician and eye color should be one of them.
Ain't happening.
Pay the 10 bucks like the rest of us.
Personally, I would love the idea to change some features, mostly my eyes, but I refuse to waste a fantasia or buy one just to do that.
