2P Skin Color

[Melichoir]

This thread stole ten minutes of my life and I want it back.

It went exactly where I thought it would go to be frank. I came in here expecting one thing, got exactly that.

SSDD with this kind of stuff frankly.

Please point out the squad number of whoever it is that's "darker" than the above, because you need to re-calibrate your notion of what makes one 'dark'.

The difference is one is temporary and induced by the sun, the other is not.

Both circumstances, when applied to a character design/aesthetic, will result in one that appears as a shade of brown. Hence why you get the contrast between 2B and 2P as linked above. Trying to split hairs by going 'she's not brown, she's tan' just makes you lot arguing the case look stupid.

God I love the FFXIV community more than any other community out there. It never changes.

Everyone knows that tan is a shade of brown, but "brown" the shade and "brown" the term for non-white skin tones are completely different. Especially when the argument is about inclusivity and "white-washing" lol

maybe they thought she would look better in the game with lighter color ^^! it compliments her dress well!

That'll be a big YIKES from me, man.

I get that the OP had 'skin colour' in the thread title, but it had nothing to do with race when you actually read the thread. What simply should've been 'yeah I don't get why it's changed either since she looks different in-game', suddenly went to claiming how androids can't have an ethnicity (yet proceeding to claim her as looking Caucasian anyway), to trying to split hairs over the difference between being tanned or otherwise.

Double up on that yikes for me.

Contrast between darker and lighter things looks way better than a muddy mess of two light things. Hence why 2B looks good with the white hair, light skin, and dark dress, and the same for 2P; black hair, dark(er) skin, and light dress.

Yeah... no.

Every single member of that team is darker than the example you provided.

Excuse me who is stupid?

Actually, what I said before the mods took my post down was that the art style depicts no racial features. I also said that just because you project your idea that she is poc doesn't mean she suddenly is bc I can easily project she's white.

And bc people seem to make it an issue in this thread, hi hello, I'm a mixed person.

Sure if you say so, mate.

Excuse me who is stupid?

Still you.

"...become brown or browner"

Now let's review what I said in that same post:

Good job missing the point.

Actually, what I said before the mods took my post down

Don't think I saw your post, and I wasn't referring to you anyway.

And bc people seem to make it an issue in this thread, hi hello, I'm a mixed person.

Good for you. Still missed the point of all this, by thinking the topic was a race issue and not simply a question about a change in character aesthetic.
