Jonas: I have no idea why people intentionally try to make Y'shtola this dark. In-game she's as light-skinned as the guy there. She's basically a light-skinned Japanese woman in complexion (and eye shape) and it's why her facial markings stand out. This woman hardly looks Japanese at all.

georld: @Jonas: reup your meds

Colonel_Mael_Radec: @Jonas: Because this isn't based on Y'shtola's XIV model, it's based on her Dissidia model, where she is that dark. Also she's not Japanese anyway.

Twtrkenco: @Jonas: Because this looks better. FF filled with too much pasty mayoskin

Faplord: @Twtrkenco: Japanese people are massively light-skinned, so of course their NPCs are too. Can you imagine an american game with 80% brown people ? Me neither.
