Character graphical changes are NOT in an acceptable state, please make it optional

Regardless of people being mean spirited about your current character, I think the point is we can see the differences but disagree that the character is ‘unrecognisable’ and ‘barely looks like the same character’. They look like pretty small changes to me that hopefully can be tweaked a little to bring the new character closer to the current look.

Except in a lot of cases they cannot be made to look closer to the original, because of how limited the options are, some looks are completely lost. This is a ridiculous take. Facial features are a key part of what makes people recognizable between each other. If it didn't matter people wouldn't get plastic surgery. It may not be a big deal for you, but for people that love their character, changing these characteristics to such a degree changes the mood of the character, and we loose something we cannot get back.

Sorry, I meant tweaked by the developer before the launch to bring it more in line with the current look, where shapes of eyes etc. have been changed for the update so far.

and there was even a lodestone update from Yoshi P the other day on where they are at in updating the CC and such. it seems like they are fixing the complaints it will see hopefully on 5/23 possibly with the updated benchmark if they are able to get the updated benchmark out.

Tweaked how? By using a fantasia to choose facial feature options that don't exist anymore?

Or by sending the developer weird contradictory messages like "hey these before and after pictures look identical and we can't tell the difference but could you please make them more similar?"

It's plain and simple that those who downplay the differences are trying to stifle feedback and derail threads in the hopes that the devs do not adjust their new designs.

The changes may be small. But often, they take some character of a facial feature. It seems to me, that SQEX tries to homogenize the faces. Everything looks softer, rounder, less edgy, blurrier etc. The differences between the faces and facial features are fading. And i do not think, that this is a good idea.
