Some of the issues are lighting-based, but a lot aren't and those aren't going to go away by adjusting to the new lighting.
I'm not sure if we are actually getting a fantasia or that's what a lot of people think is what Yoshida said. As I want to say he knows many will want one due to the changes made by the update. And that he can understand where they'd be coming from. That he'd even want one himself but that he'd have to see if that would be in the budget so to speak and everyone just heard free Fantasia and ran with it. Not that I care as I somehow have four wasting away in my inventory. I had bought a three pack and I don't remember how I got the 4th and no it wasn't one of the earlier free ones.

And yes I get that some of the things changed wasn't all due to lighting. Like the defanging of moon cats and beards not being flesh with a person's cheeks. Or hair clipping through a person's neck and the obvious neck seam. Those changes should and (most) are looking to be getting addressed with the changes they'll be implementing with the newer benchmark. But the slightly more slanted eyes or puffier cheek that unless a person goes and circles it or points it out that anyone who isn't intimately familiar with that character or face type might have to come to terms that those changes might just be final. Or hopefully it will be something akin to what they said they would do with the Au Ra limbal ring. I wonder if that was put in as an option as I didn't notice anyone stating on if that was an option or not. Or at least I didn't notice anyone stating they'll quit the game cause they didn't add it there and they said they would. Or in any other similar vein of what some might call an over reaction to a minor change.

I do pray for DRG n AST players cause they might be getting a double whammy. They might have become unsatisfied by these graphical updates to their character to then also get the "SMN treatment" to their favorite job as we all know those two are to be getting a major rework.
