Please Remove Creepy Doll Banner from Launcher

It's not creepy at all, it's cute.

It's not creepy at all, it's cute.

That's what they all say right before it attacks you with a butcher knife like the Puppet Master movies.

I like creepy things but it looks cheap and weird to me. I didn't even know it was Y'shtola until I saw this thread. As far as dolls/action figures go, it's bad.

What we need to keep in mind, is: this "Dollfie Dream" company has their own brand and aesthetic. Google them, and check out their website. They make products with a certain visual style, and adapted Y'shtola to suit their own product line. They were never trying to make a completely accurate rendering of the game character. I personally don't like the look of this doll, but complaining about this is like complaining about a bobblehead. And for what it is and what they were trying to do, I think it is well done.

She actually looks like she belongs in one of those "anime but puppets" Japanese shows.

Wow, I hadn't seen that yet since I hadn't logged in until just now.

Doesn't even remotely look like her. There's nothing catlike about that face. She looks like Bonnie Tyler, the singer of Total Eclipse of the Heart

DING! DING! DING!

I've been wracking my brain over who the doll face reminded me of since I first saw it. Thank you!

OK...how about "Ugly as **** doll", is that one OK?

Gotta disagree. The doll is not ugly. If anything, the doll is too cute to be Y'shtola.

My question isn't whether or not the doll approaches uncanny valley. It's who will be willing to shell out nearly $1k for a soft plastic doll? Your average FFXIV player does not have that kind of money to throw around.

I didn't mind it too much at first, but the more I see it on the launcher, the more eerie it becomes.

I like it but i see how it could be seen as creepy. Idc whats on the launcher since i barely pay any attention to it. It'll eventually be taken down but this could be a chance to update the ui to hide or select certain slides to show. Maybe not something that'll fix this but later on.

[Windfire]

Not soft plastic, resin but in any case given the brand, I'm pretty sure that's actually "cheap" for one of their dolls.

I can imagine it coming to life at one point. The head suddenly turning around to face you while it stares at you with its creepy doll eyes. Then when you turn on the light it looks all normal again so you go to sleep. When you wake up in the morning its suddenly sitting on a completely different spot on your desk.

People never seen a doll or any brand made stuff, I am legit surprised.
I do not like the doll but it is funny how much reaction you are getting through it
