    I really don't think this would impact the sales that much, because if that was their mindset, then hairstyles would probably be locked behind Fantasia just the same.

    Considering that fantasia does MUCH MORE than just allow you to change skin tone (you can change gender and even your race), I don't see why adding an in-game option to change skin color is a bad thing.

    hair doesn't make a huge impact. Meanwhile the skin color and eyes color as well as height and muscle can make it. People will do extreme things to change. I read a person's comment after watching someone else character looking "cuter" They said they need to look the cutest so they were gonna fantasia so they could modify their looks.

    I don't really see how that's an argument against adding a skin-changing feature that's outside of Fantasia. If it works just like hair/makeup changes, for instance, then it's just changing one feature out of the many other aspects that go into character creation.

    Better yet, why not have an item that's a "lesser fantasia" which will be cheaper and caters more to people who only want to make minor alterations to their character's appearance like skin tone, eye-shape or whatnot? Stuff like changing races, height or gender could be exclusive to the "full" fantasia item.

    We already have two different levels. I'm not sure there's enough to really justify a third middle tier in between them. Minor alterations are done in-game through the aesthetician and major character changing ones are done through fantasia.

    The only issue is that there's some rather odd limitations to the aesthetician's options that don't seem to fit the pattern. It would make a lot more sense for skin tone to fall under that category rather than under the major (fantasia only) category. (Of course, you'd still need a fantasia if you want a different range of options for skin tone if that requires switching clans.)
