Let Us Change Skin-Color at Aesthetician

[Parodine]

I dunno... lore wise make-up and hairstyles are easy to explain away. Changing your entire skin and eye colour overnight makes zero sense. He's an aesthetician, not a sorcerer!

We have hair dye...but we don't have colored contacts? Ehhhhh, I don't buy it.

Eorzean's don't have plastic. Or are you suggesting we wear "glass" contact lenses in a world where we're more likely than not to end up in a fight of one form or another?

If we don't have plastic, I'm fascinated to hear how the aesthetican can give us changeable scars. >__>

Stop using lore to justify this, you're looking silly, you very well know lore isn't the reason why none of this will be implemented, it's the good money they are getting from phial of fantasia.

Nope.

Every MMO offers this service, it's a basic practice.

Just to add to your point, many don't have the stuff we have from the aesthetician for free (well, a paltry gil sum, but no one complains about that). You want ANY sort of alterations, you gotta pony up the cash store currency.
We have it better than most.

They're painted on. Those scars are as fake as the suit your character is wearing. An illusion. -_-

Anyways, just because it's called plastic surgery doesn't mean the compound known as plastic is involved.

You can't paint crevices into the skin. Unless he's using his scissors in some way...Oh! Then if they're just illusions, let's just use glamour prisms to change the color of our eyes! Because magic.

Look, the point is you're looking for lore reasons to deny it, and it's silly in this fantasy game. If they're gonna deny it because they want money from fantasia sales, sure. But let's not pretend it's for some semblance of lore, shall we?

Lore-lol make for a ridiculous argument in this area.

It's a fantasy game, let your mind imagine how they alter skin-pigmentation if you're bothered.

Correct. Most F2P MMOs charge for hair-changes too.

Oddly enough, Yoshida said a while back "Contact Lenses" would be a feasible excuse (During a Live Letter) to add it to the Aesthetician, whether or not they actually add it, is a completely different story.

But disagreed to changing skin-tone or face-shape.

I'd honestly like to see SE meet us in the middle on this one.

We should be able to change hair color, style, eye color, skin tone in game at the esthetician. Miqotes should get the option of tail changes. Maybe make the eye color, skin, and tail changes more expensive then other procedures so that it is a gil sink.

However, if we want to change race, gender--then make that cost a Fantasia from the cash shop. I don't mind paying for those major changes, but its things like paying a cash shop to change something minor like eye and skin color that make me start to feel like I'm being price gouged.
