I just need to choose one and stick with it. I spent too much on outfits this month, so I'm stuck as miqo'te for a good while, cause I won't spend more on the mogstation.

One thing about viera though, and because of it, is I started coming around to the darker skin tones overall. I think I like playing a relatively tanned/darker character more than a lighter skin tone now. I think it just looks better aesthetically in-game. Plus more unique (skin color wise).
Playerbase mostly seem to ignore headgear in fact, except such things as glasses or flowers. But yeah, not having an opportunity to wear a hat even if you normally don't do this anyway is unpleasant, I'm agree.

As for skin colors - it depends on character a lot... I remember I tried to make mine more dark skinned, but it just doesn't really suit him. Don't know why.
