Dawntrail character graphics update - opinions, requests and discussion megathread

My feelings remain much the same as most others posting in this thread currently. I just want to add that they still have not fixed this blatant bug that has been present since the initial Benchmark release.

Face 3 for Male Duskwights still possess the incorrect clan face texture as well. The egregious amount of bugs along with unmet requests and lacking communication only makes everything feel worse the longer time goes on.

The CC combinations I'm posting about aren't even ones I play, but even still it feels unprofessional and unfair.

Fix Thancred's Face, give him back his OLD FACE

Let us us our OG faces if we want! (just came back to pick up the gil bit/items from my house being demo'd) I really don't care care if if it's via more options in the CC or a toggle to keep all old graphics, I've said it once and I'll say it again "high end" graphics DON'T MATTER to me!

What I want is the character that I have been playing for YEARS! (bloody heck I still play 8-bit games, graphics are just low gravy for ANY game I play), I don't want my miqo to look like she's having an allergic reaction, I don't want my highlander and au'ra to look like she's strung out, I don't want my midlander to look like he's aged 15-20 years! Nor do I want my two elezen's "neutral" faces to be swapped (the one that was serious now has a slight smile and the slight smile is now serious :mad:), I don't want the flat, (and yet somehow)over-puffed lips on my viera. (Also why the heck did a lot of the lips glossiness or matte get switched for everyone, as far as I can tell? i.e what was glossy is now matte & vice versa?)

Go ahead and keep the "new & improved" models for those that like them but give the Option for old for those of us that HATE the "new" models to KEEP WHAT WE ALREADY HAD! There are many of us that had our characters just the way we wanted them, that's now GONE, and for me at least, it makes me say "You take my char away, I take away my money".

For those of you hanging on, good luck (not sarcasm), I'm just absolutely tired of this nonsense, boss, and have a lot single player to keep me occupied and happy. /salute

I keep inhaling gallons of hopium only to log in after every patch to see that the femroe faces are still completely ruined.

It really does seem like I'm never getting my girl back.

Just here to bump this pretty much

My old hair and lip color seem unattainable now and my lips shrunk, the 'angry' look I had looks like I'm tired instead and my skin seems plastic and shiny. Something is off with eyes too but can't quite put my finger on it, think they lost some glow or something.

peeks through slit

uh, fix the eyelids
and happy new year

closes door

Oh boy, love seeing the New Year message hard confirm patch 7.5 won't be until after NA FanFest, so we have a guaranteed four month wait for any possible updates!
But since they don't tell us if they're doing anything, I sure can't wait to have another nothing update! Thanks Yoshida! :)

I'm so tired. I just want her back.

The mentioning of 'motion changes, and customization' makes me hopeful they could update combat animation blending so there's less scooting.

My guess is that SE will remove restrictions on gender-locked job stances, as there have been many requests for this change.

I hope the mention of skin color in some translations doesn't mean that they'll open up skin colors across a races 'main' and a 'sub'. Big fan of there being some distinction between them still, as much as it has been a struggle to upkeep with the questionable character graphics updates.
