Yoshida gives update on the benchmark/character creator

Who could have seen this coming

I'm glad to see that feedback that players have been giving since release of current Benchmark version has been heard.

And can't wait to see the new version of our characters with the fixes and other improvements. :)

Literally everyone. Both JP and NA/EU forums are flooded with feedback, as well as social media. It was obvious the current iteration of the character creator is unacceptable, and releasing it as is in DT would basically be a PR nightmare.

To be fair the character creator has always been off with lighting compared to in-game, it's one of the gripes I have with the barber, what looks good in the character creator often looks pretty different when in game.

Ummm ... I suspected it because i have found some potential technical glitches. Here is one of them:

I'm cautiously hopeful, and really grateful for the speedy response.

Not YOU personally this forum. Spent 10 years here. It's gotten nothing but worse and I would suggest you get ready for the Story Sucks, the Battle System Sucks and so on.

Oh, well, people can be mad about whatever. I don't engage with that stuff. I just decided to share relevant information.
