Let Us Change Skin-Color at Aesthetician

Maybe you stay too long at azys lla...

He's probably starting to show the side affects of fate grinding too long.

This just sounds weird. Tans, sure, but no real way to make someone paler or blue.

But my character is blue... :x

But my character is blue... :x

yes there is blue

Even if we don't get skin color we should atleast get eye colors since Au ra have that option already

[Soge01]

Please add skin and eye color change into game without the use of Fantasia! It's just not worth it to want to make slight changes like that when you have to spend 10 dollars for it...

[starLivitation]

yes please just a small shade difference at least? different colors look different in the sun and different out fits, its a nice thing to change some little things here and there , for fashion ! please SE !!

In the upcoming content tracker Google Doc it's mentioned Skin and Eye color changes through the Aesthetician, but not timeline given, so it was already mentioned by Yoshi: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1...WlUnH0/preview

I know you are joking around, but I would love to see a FFXIV, where doing certain things will affect the player.

- If the player eats too much food and their avatar does not move around alot, they will gain weight.
- If the player is very active, you see more muscle definition. You see the characters more ripped (like how Highlanders and Roes have more muscle definition).
- If the player spends more time in warmer zones, they get a tan and if they are in cold ones like Ishgard, they keep their skin colour or become a little bit more pale.
- Movement, if you are fit, you can sprint alot longer and if you arent fit, you can only sprint only for few seconds.

This will never happen, but one can dream.

I played one of my nephew's games for a while which did that, and which was pretty thoroughly ruined by it. (I think it was one of the games from the Fable series, though I forget which number.) The problem was that the weight gain system was scaled really badly.

If you were going to do any combat related content, then you needed food in order to heal yourself, and limited availability meant that you had to eat whatever sort of food you could find. Most of that food was stuff that would then make you fat (and which very quickly got to really really fat) and there was virtually no way to get thin again. (In theory, eating healthy food like vegetables would make you thinner, but when it took something like a thousand carrots to make up for a single piece of bread, and you could only occasionally get a carrot or two available to buy, that didn't actually work.)

So the only real choices were to skip 90% of the content to avoid combat, or to have a really ugly character. A lot of the game also focused on collecting cosmetc outfits and such, but since playing the main content forced you to have a hideously ugly character, finding a nice outfit was sort of wasted.

It's an interesting concept, though. It might have worked if the system had simply been scaled better, so that it either took a lot more to get fat, or that some means of getting thin again was readily accessible.
