Giving us the option for either would be the ideal solution and I really hope they do.
The thing that bothers me the most about the screenshot is that it were always kinda possible to get that look by selecting a darker colour, but instead they turned one of the brightest options into a mid tone?
How will darker options look then, just vanish into the dark eyes of a xaela completely?
Ngl, if they decide to go only with the new option only it'll change the look of my current character so completely it might just be the final straw for me.
I pray and hope they'll give us the option for either too. More customization options are always the biggest win for the players.
