2P Skin Color

[Enla]

Uhhh... "2P" isn't a character in SC6. It's just 2B's alt color 2P = player 2, the normal 2B color is 1P = player 1... That's how it's called for every character in the game, not just for 2B. 2B's alt color basically just reverses the black and white colors, but instead of making the skin jet black like her hair they just made it tan. In FFXIV, it's not just 2B with an alt color, it's a new character based on 2B's design and a color scheme that was inspired by her alt color from SC6 which doesn't mean that it has to be 100% the same. And it kinda makes sense too since all of the Yohra have the same skin color/overall physique. They only have different clothing and hairstyles.

They're literally called 2P on the Nier tie in site.



And 2P as a skin has an already existing look, one they've even made a figure of.


That's why people are confused, especially as this raid is being touted as the continuation of the actual Nier game. Given that 2P has reached a status of being a recognized character in their own right, palette swap origins or not, that is why people are confused. 2P didn't just spring into being for this raid.

Yes, I know that she's called 2P in FFXIV. That's precisely why I said that she's inspired by 2B's alt color in SC6 but she's a new character. In SC6, the main colors are called 1P and alt colors 2P. This figure you posted is even called "2B - 2P color variant". It literally says that it's 2B but with the SC6 2P color. 2P in FFXIV is inspired by that but "2P" in the first place doesn't exist as a character. FFXIV's 2P is the first time we ever see her so they can definitely give her a different skin color if they wish to do so, especially since it makes sense with the aesthetics of NieR Automata's androids which are all sharing the same skin color/facial features/body. Once again, every characters' alt colors in SC6 are called 2P (and that's the case for a lot of fighting games in general).
