    I've seen this feedback on social media too and I 100% agree with it!

    SE also has a history of forgetting to test their gear sets on dark skinned characters, they've had to fix the 2B set, some YoRHa alliance raid sets, and recently Gaia's set because it's only after release that players and the dev team found out that it didn't display properly on dark skin... so it would be good to show what the tests look like with various skin tones, both to reassure the players but also to prevent themselves from having to deal with a HUGE oversight later, if they haven't learned from their past mistakes yet.

    Some armor sets end up being unintentionally hilarious if you play a dark-skinned Duskwight like me. I have found out that the skin tone I picked out basically matches the Slate Gray dye. The Hailstorm armor set looks ridiculous because 90% of the fabric is invisible.

    Mine's not very dark, but I've always thought of this as a positive LOL. I can create some pretty neat illusions with greys that match my WoL's skin, like the Omicron Trousers.

    Full support; my main is (as you can see) a ghost but the majority of my alts have much darker skin and the visibility for them in cutscenes is really bad. Seeing what the reworks look like with very dark skin would be a load off my mind.

    They need to test tattooed gear on dark (and "fantasy") skin tones, too.

    The Yakaku dogi comes to mind. I really wish they'd given us a non-tattooed version.
