    j921jt.gif No means to bash anyone who prefers to keep their pale or pinkish skin tones. But some of us rather not continue using crowns/glasses just to have something that somewhat resembles their very own complexion. Besides, that's what the slogan for mabi is right? "making your own fantasy life" why not include it as an option when other game companies never gave it a second thought on not to include a wide variety of skin tones, hair color options, and odd-eyed or various color choices. So really no matter what you desire for your own OC. We greatly appreciate a wider color palette for all races in this game without the cost of players money.

    Oooh my! Just came back to a very pleasant surprise!! So KR Mabinogi finally got an update that allow the elves to have tan or dark skintones?! So it means we'll get this as a part of the update for NA soon then! So I have a reason to try out Mabinogi again soon!

    What @Blissfulkill said, I agree and it is beautifully written! It is good to be able to rub this on people who are against the idea of elves getting their dark skintones due to being "waaaah its against the Mabi lore!!" while failing to provide any evidence that clearly said elves can't have dark skintones.. or maybe it's what Blissfulkill said, they're just low-key racist.

    But we have fought a looong battle on elves getting their dark skintone and it took us many years but it finally happens, my lovelies! We all deserve to be happy and go black, never go back!

    We're basing off this post, which appears to be in game on the KR version. It's gonna take some real digging to see if there was a KR announcement.

    Elfs are from the desert living under the constant rais of a hot sun. Why would they have dark skin tones?

    Fortunately, we will be getting our dark skintone options (along with all colors for hair and eyes available for all three races) to come here sometime soon since KR Mabinogi recently got that!
