Changing Skin Color and Eyes Color Through Aesthetician.

I heard somewhere they mention they will be adding this features in the future without using Fantasia Potion. I know it have been heavily requested and lot of people would like this option.

Just want to know if they still planning to do this. I think charging money to changed eyes color and skin color is silly because 1st every time you want to changed hair color, you want your eyes to match. Same with skin color, it look good in character creation, then when outside it look terrible, especially under different lighting.

Add in voice changes and I'm game.

Literally the only think I want to change, but it seems like a waste of a potion.

Contacts and a tan, it's logical.

I do remember them mentioning it, way back, too... though from what I recall this was before the aesthetician even released, and you know how it is with pre-release quotes on a certain things.

Anyway... /thumbsup.

That seems like awfully messy work for someone with only a pair of hair scissors and a comb.

Well if you don't have faith in his precision, you could always use magical breath spray.

I'd trust magic drinks before a guy with a blade.

There still might be hope for this. I remember that Fantasia was advertized as being able to tweak things like eye/skin color, looking at mogstation now and that's nowhere to be seen.

With the amount of people that buy Fantasias on a daily basis I honestly don't see this happening anytime soon.

I'm the problem. I've bought a Fantasia just to change my skin tone. I ended up making some other changes cause that is a waste of ten dollars. And I was debating with myself last night on buying a Fantasia to change my eye color. So I would love this, if nothing more than to protect me from myself.

As Andrea pointed out, they make a lot of money off those Fantasias, no point in removing the key seller. Sure people may still buy to change gender or race but those purchases will drop if they add them to the stylist. However if they wanted to make it more of a gil-sink, perhaps then it would equal out?

Perhaps have the stylist itemize each process as a cost? Such as changing hair color is 2k gil, changing the hairstyle is also 2k, so 4k total for that. Then of course the whole color of eye(s) at a bigger cost?

Oh no I would never refer to you as a problem. You're free to do what you wish with your money/character. I buy fantasias too at times.

I was just more meaning that it wouldn't make sense from a business point to remove features from them.

This makes me wonder who buys Fantasia for what purpose. While there are definitely some players who buy it for a full scale change, I wonder how many people actually do buy it just to change something relatively minor*. And I also wonder if SE tracks that.

* Not that even a small change is insignificant. I can absolutely see wanting your character to be "perfect" given how much time and care we invest in them

I counted all my purchases and I've bought exactly 50 Fantasias.... lol... SE must love me... No matter how big or small the change is...

I've bought a fantasia because my skin colour didn't look the way I wanted it to in some lighting, and then another to change eye colour and it was too brightly coloured. >_> I do wish they'd add them to the Aesthetician, but it does mean less money for SE so who knows? The same goes for more retainers.

This! I know the character creator allows for a variety of lighting conditions, but realistically, the in-game lighting seems to function different. Especially when you consider HW areas and indoors versus, say, standing around outdoors in the starting areas.

If anything, they should add another template to the character creator tools to count these in. Like how one would look in Ishgard, or the default lighting in personal houses (which does not match the "indoors" option they have.)

Yep, numerous times I've made an alt character to run around to test different looks, done checks on my skin colour in all of the character creation settings options... only to get in to the world and it look completely different, or different enough to what I'd wanted.

Is it so much to hit a button and run around a "test" portion in one of the city zones and one wilderness for each, not on server or anything... I wonder.

I really want this as well, but people keep denying like something something lore break and impossible to do for hair stylist. Don't you guys recognized that this hair stylist can change our forehead model? >_>

They're always looking for more gil sinks. Just add these features at a higher gil cost or something.

I would LOVE to have skin and eyes included in the aesthetician, but I don't see it being added. As others mentioned, eye color was supposed to be included with him, but we all know how that went. :( I think Fantasias are a big money maker for them, so I can't see them suddenly giving more options via in-game methods. Can't kill the cash cow!

The Aesthetician is an homage to JoJo's character, right? He should be able to do more than hair.

Never bought a Fantasia. I used my first free Fantasia to make my Kitty purrfect, then I acted out in monstrosity and used my HW Fantasia to make meself a Lizard. Never looked back. I think the retainer fantasias are enough for me.

He can magically grow our hairs

And what's stopping him from giving us customized contact lenses made from polarized glass?

Yea, I would love this too OP! I think if someone wants to change their race or entire face, then yea...fantasia is fine. But for skin and eyes? That should be able to do at the Aesthetician.

To be fair, he uses his scissors and comb to change Au Ra Limbal eye color, Remove Scales, and Grow Scales on their faces.

Would be nice if they could add it but again, they probably make too much money from Fantasias for things like this.
