2P Skin Color

[Samsta]

Whether she's 'brown skinned' or not in the first place is also debatable. Androids lack an ethnicity in the first place and both her facial features and her tan look 'Caucasian' to me.

The color of her skin is brown, this statement is factual and has nothing to do with ethnicity or anything like that, please don't bring that to this discussion. I just like her a delicious brown, it has nothing to do with anything other than aesthetics, the same reason my viera has brown skin.

I honestly can't believe this is a discussion to begin with..

You underestimate the power of delicious brown.

No, she is tan. Here's a zoomed in version of the statue.



And the game screens from SC:



Now compare to a character like Symmetra.

It probably is just the result of different lighting being used for the render on the site. In the patch art she looks tan. :v

You are aware black people come in all shades, from really light to dark right?

So using 1 black character as an example makes your point completely mute.

“She has a tan” if she’s an android how does she tan?

If she were brown ... and not an android, she'd be someone who's made heavy use of skin lightening products.

Much ado about nothing.

You seem to be making a number of strange, bold assumptions about someone you don't even know. All because he doesn't subscribe to a rather deceptive and biased world view.

When you get canned NPC responses like "mums basement", "in 2019" and the usual semi-factual, very broad brush narratives about events which are much more complex than he's making out, it's a sign that you've engaged a zealot. Far beyond the scope of this thread, so let him stew in his loathing I guess.

And now you’re talking about skin lightening products, wow.

And no loathing here! I’m actually in tears of laughter

I mean... the color of her skin is light brown, I don't care if it's from tan or from what, it's clearly brown. Why does it matter if it's from tan or not lol.

[MarlyMakara]

She looks like she has a tan to me.

It's worth remembering that the 5.1 Trailer DOES look like "Tan 2B" by comparison to the original, well-known "2P", which to my knowledge, was given the designation when SE decided to make figurines of her.

I don't know where you're from, but OG 2P is not just a few trips to the tanning salon where I'm from. They look as though they were, even as "just androids with color variants", were made to be as distinguishable as night and day.

Yeah, you're absolutely correct. Thankfully we can take comfort in the fact that this is all a complete non-issue. After all, those who are seemingly up in arms over this aren't willing to consider taking a stand by distancing themselves from FFXIV.

It's just a blatant attempt to manipulate and cause trouble where there's no need to. With the usual nasty accusations thrown at both the development team and anyone else who isn't on board with the latest fashionable 'concern'.

Imagine going on about how much of a none issue this is, while simultaneously replying to all the comments, can’t relate.

But you know I can tell by your 5000 posts you have nothing better to do
