I am trying to make a somewhat normal colored mooncat...

I like my nice caramel colored moon kitty. Alas, we can't quite get the nice peaches and cream complexions of our Sunseeker cousins, but I think our darker colorations look better than theirs.

I spent a pretty long time as a moonkitty and honestly I was never that happy with my skin color. It never looked 'right' in many lighting conditions. The way the skin tones of moonkitties have a blue/gray tone which made you look unhealthy always bothered me. I changed to a sunkitty and in general I'm a lot happier with how I look now even though I'm not a huge fan of slit irises.

You rarely if ever see your fangs as a moonkitty either, because of the rarity of situations in this game where you are looking at your character's face and your mouth is open at the time. The only actual instance I'm aware of when this happens is the little celebratory victory shot at the end of a dungeon.

What's a mooncat? Please call yourself miqo'te if you are rolling miqo'te... We don't need catgirls, Eorzea only has miqo'te.

Keepers of the Moon Miqo'te = Mooncat.

Your new hair color doesn't match your name anymore.

I'm Kuro now.

I used the pale skintone (top left corner of color pallet) since it doesn't look that pale once your in the game under most lighting.


Under bright lights:

Keepers of the Moon Miqo'te = Mooncat.

Does that mean seekers are Suncats?

[Mahri]

Seekers are indeed Suncats!

I think I can help, OP, if you haven't settled yet...

@OP,

The skintones along the bottom are actually the 'warmest' of the lot. I would recommend the mid-to-dark brown shades, personally, along with brown or black hair. For comparable real-world ethnicities with similar colors, check out pictures of the Berber people and a handful of other African ethnic groups, who actually have quite the spectrum. To make the comparison even more apt, the naming conventions of miqo'te have a similarly African sound to them.

Further advice: In the character creator, be sure to check all the different locales listed at the bottom, during both day and night, since the color filtration in each is subtly different. To see how dynamic lighting affects you, you can rotate your character around with a right-click.

Just call the Moon Keepers and Sun Seekers.
