Tbf that Gif and Braidcats are super common on Balmung because of you know ERP.....

Not that I agree with that person's attitude, but the gif is also just the Jenova Limsa Plaza.

I know this is primarily a meme/joke but I would still like to argue that uniqueness in terms of "my char looks different from everybody else" is not really the point of contention.

But rather certain features are unique within their race. For example, most female au ras don't look super unique because many people play female au ras but face 1, 2, 3 and 4 are currently still very distinct from each other. And that has been partially homogenised. Right now you still have a range from super cute to quite edgy. But the edgy face is basically just cute in DT.

And even (or especially?) if lots of players choose a certain face/feature because it has a very certain charm then it being popular doesn't take those charm points away.
And it might also mean that in fact a lot more people will be affected and upset if that beloved charm point is removed or at least decreased because so many have been using and loving it until now.
So those charm points might be particularly worth preserving.
