2B outfit "cutouts"

(if there is another post on this already feel free to delete mine and/or direct me to the other)

Now, I love the fact that we now have a Nier raid, and Nier outfits. So when I rolled on the coffer and won it tonight, I was stoked....until I put it on....



The cut outs were so....bad....both on the front and the back in contrast to skin tone, but the back can be hidden with hair, the front???? not so much...being bothered by it, and not wanting to completely burn the outfit (or stuff it into a retainer to never be seen again...) I fantasia'd
Problem solved! Or is it?

As someone who may or may not have a fantasia problem and realizes some races have a lot of different colors they can be, there has to be a better way to do the dress mesh cutouts no??? Maybe it's just me? T.T (I mention here I see it's a dress mesh cutout. Dress meshs like this tend to show off faint skin tone from underneath in some form. While hard to recreate in FF that way couldn't it have matched the dress a tad more then? Since 2B's does?)

Those cutouts aren't showing skin though. They're just patterns on the dress.



The only part showing skin is the boob window, and that matches your skin tone.

Correct but if you see the actual dress design from Nier it's more of a black mesh, so shouldnt it match the dress tone then?

That's 100% an oversight...Hopefully they will/can fix it.

They probably should have used the same stuff that's on Viera racial gear (the see-through cloth)

I'd probably agree to it being an oversight, since that skin tone is probably the most common. Even if it meant to be that color, it does look a bit odd on a darker character.

I noticed the same issue with Minfilia's white dress - there's a panel at the top that seems to be intended as transparent fabric with a hint of skin colour through it, but when trying it on my green-skinned Roegadyn character, it doesn't reflect that colour. And i believe the bunny tights have the same issue?

It seems like it could be a running problem that they can't make things take on shades of skintone.

They do seem to be able to add sheer fabric though, so I wonder where the limitations are. Does it only work for loose drapes? Harder to implement for tight-fitting gear? Maybe it has to be a separate layer above the character's skin and ends up too bulky or something.

Try putting it on a Male character and see how bad it maybe

PS I see SE is finally giving players more Multi-gender outfits now.

See this is what I was curious about since they can add sheer, we've seen it with Viera tribal gear. At least with this dress since it is such a large focal point, I'm surprised no attempt at all was made to make it "blend" in at the very least with the dress color. You are right on the Minifilia dress however. With that dress though I just assumed it was because we also couldn't dye it. But after dying 2B's and seeing it still there....

The bunny tights do as well, but its the same as those tights you see with 2B's if you take a look at my pictures. It's just you can hide them a bit more so its less obvious, the issue mostly being, it's near impossible to hide the chest.

You know, as ridiculous as it looks on say, a Hrothgar (I had a really good laugh at that one......) I'm all for it.

Like I said overall I love the dress, and I don't normally hate on gear but this one just had something I couldn't ignore...and thankfully I'm not the only one, so hopefully it is an issue they will at least perhaps fix in the future. Until then, I will be a very grumpy pale moon cat XP

It honestly gives some grounding to a long-term suspicious I've had that they barely test art assets when they put them in the game. It could very well be that their production pipeline is such that by the time a model made by the art team is in the game, sending it back to them to fix glaring issues is impossible due to deadlines... which I would be willing to understand if they actually fixed gear once its already in the game in a latter patch, but I feel like unless people raise a huge stink about the 2B chestpiece, it will simply go unfixed permanently. I would've preferred if they withheld this glamour until 5.3 or even 5.5 if they were going to take shortcuts that harm player customization like this, nobody should have to fantasia their character's skin color just to wear an outfit.
