    I agree. We could spend all day in the sun and get a tan in real life, so this kind of option should be available in the Aesthetician. (never heard of tanning beds?)

    how would a Seawolf Roegadyn go from green to blue with sunlight?
    Or a Keeper of the Moon Miqo'te from grey blue to white?

    No we couldn't because it's always night time in Eorzea.

    Getting a tan is an argument but a Roe going from pink to green or a miqo'te from brown to grey would actually not be natural.

    One could argue that green/grey/blue skinned races are non-human enough to have another reason for their skin color besides protection from UV radiation. The same way humans become more brown in the sun, fantasy races could become more grey in cold and dry climates, more green in humid and warm climates or more blue from extended nocturnal activity. These changes could surely be accelerated by the means of alchemy and magic.

    If there was lore behind it, but as far as I know nothing is specified about skin color change.

    I'm not aware of any such existing lore but I'd love to have more lore about racial aspects written into the game along with gameplay improvements. It would make the races feel more interesting for sure. What I wrote was just off the top of my head and SE could probably come up with a better explanation.

    I'd love to see some new facial options, not sure if they gonna add something in SB or not. but skin color i hope they stop requiring fantasia and let us change it according to our glamour we want to use.

    With the blue, green, pink, brown, white, grey, and so on and so forth shades... Yeah, good luck getting that variety from a "tanning bed." My view is: if IRL hair dresser can't do it, then it's best for Fantasia.

    you don't know how each race tans. Who is to say the different races don't tan blue or green?
