#also hello i'm aware the pacal screenshot still sucks but compared to other screenshots of pacal i've seen it's a huge difference

[sillyslayer6]

i'm not excusing the absolute dogwater representation in natlan

BUT

if characters look ashy/gray, i've found messing with the brightness settings somehow makes it a less obvious/changes the skin tone entirely

pacal, for example, looks less gray and slightly better, i wish i screenshotted how he looked in one of the cutscenes because i swear he looked even better before

for reference, i keep my brightness settings towards the lower end (not quite fully dark, but close)

this doesn't seem to fix every npc, and obviously doesn't solve hoyo just... sucking ass at having characters of color

but it's something you can try :)
