Aesthetician Upgrade

[Burningskull]

I think the Aesthetician needs an upgrade to allow you to change every aspect of your character EXCEPT your race / gender. This would allow Hrothgar to change their hairstyle since SE decided to lock that to your face choice. You could even charge more than 2000 gil depending on what changes you make.

That sounds like it'd be convenient.

If there are updates to the Aesthetician, I hope they also take the time to add one onto Norvrandt. It seems a little silly that there's only one person in all of the shards who is qualified to cut hair.

Oh, I'm sure there are others who are qualified but Jandelaine is the only person allowed near my head with scissors.

100% this. I think fantasia needs to be just for gender and race changes.

[WhiteArchmage]

Yes please. Maybe not for stuff like height but eye color and even skin color should be able to be changed without shelling out for a Fantasia. Seems like only AuRa know about contacts

We can only change our limbal rings; I dunno why to be honest. o.O

It's an oddity of the character creation template and how the same settings have been used across different character designs.

As a general rule, the aesthetician lets you change "decorative" elements of the character but not their actual body.

Limbal rings are an exception because for most races, that data element is used for race-specific tattoos, or for Wildwood Elezen's earrings. So because it's the "same" setting, you still get access to it.

(The inverse being why Hrothgar don't get a special exception on being allowed to "change their hair" by changing their face setting. They'd probably have to let all races access the setting.)

Ah okay that makes more sense now.

As much as I'd love this due to the obscene amount of fantasias I've gone through, I can't imagine SE would ever make it happen since they are so profitable as it is.

If they want to throw us a nice meaty bone, I'd be happy if we could just edit skin color and eyes in there as well. Tanning beds and contacts do exist in the real world, so it wouldn't be a complete stretch

[Riardon]

Well I also agree with this and it does make sense and is only logical to think it like that.
It's also logical than they are turning a blind eye on this change because it boosts their Fantasia sales in the Mog Station.
