Let Us Change Skin-Color at Aesthetician

The real reason is what Shioban pointed as "main reason", they are profiting from that.

Feel free to blame cash shop supporters.

Without them the game would be vastly underfunded. It already is anyway.. because of FFXV, KHIII, and FFVII's Remake.

they shud be making enough moeny from their other games for sure?

I'd approve of being able to change your skin tone. That'd be fun, and probably what the OP meant. Changing your skin color sounds hinky though.

This is impractical for the aesthetician. You are basically wanting the salon stylist for Eorzea to have the ability to change your DNA...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't ever recall any trained beautician IRL providing a service to their customers to change your skin pigmentation or eye color... Please use a fantasia.

Well, within an MMO, a stylist often serves as the interface for creating any physical changes your character would have over time. A person can gain scars in battle, change their skin tone by exposure (or lack thereof) to the sun, gain or lose weight, and so on. So those types of changes tend to get lumped in with hairstyles since they're all changeable features.

Fantasia is more for when you want to switch to playing a different character while keeping your former character's progression. It's suitable for things that otherwise don't change, like race, clan, gender, height (since we've already reached adulthood), etc.

Eye color is kind of a grey area (even if your eyes aren't grey ). Whether that's a changeable feature or a character-defining feature depends on whether Eorzeans use contacts. But since it's a minor feature and sort of goes along with skin color and hair color which are changeable, it's easiest to just decide they do use contacts or something that can similarly change your eyes, and that way it can be changeable too.


But if you want a real-life example of a beautician changing your skin tone, wasn't the tanning salon comparison brought up earlier?


off-topic p.s. I like your sig kitty

As a former Au Ra if that's the case then why is it possible for the Aesthetician to change my imbral eye color? Last I checked there's such a thing as contact lenses in real life ... guess that can't apply to this game for "lore" reasons.

Anyways, for the sake of keeping Fantasia around, I think being able to change at least a shade/ quadrant should be sufficient.

There plenty of fantasia-holics, pretty sure there are people out there that use them for more then just changing race/gender so why would SE add a feature that would make them less money.

Well for one, caring for their customers who pay every month , loyal customers. just asking to change a small shade of color, is that too much?

So you are saying its impractical for a Aesthetician to changed your skin color, yet you can just changed a female to male or male via versa, skin color, eyes color, race, etc just from drinking a potion? Now where is this potion in real life?

I guess it's impractical too you can change your gear in a fraction of a seconds.

It's a Fantasy Games, why people keep comparing it to real life saying it's impractical, yet there so much more nonsense in the game then just skin color already through Anesthesian.

well said, it's a simple thing they can add, we just need the support for this, and maybe they will listen.
