Updated benchmark

Aside from actual messed up texture gaps, I am astounded by some of the complaints. The devs were clear the character models were being completely redone and there would be minor variations. As a WHOLE all of the characters look better, more real and less anime cartoony as a whole. But nitpicking the way the corners of a mouth slightly turn up or down or "oooh i found a slightly different zig instead of a zag on one scale" is just massively ridiculous. The characters look great, they still look like themselves with more details and to effectively play the game everyone is zoomed out to the max, so why are we getting this upset? I don't understand.

Maybe to you, but you are entitled to your opinion, that doesn't make the opinion of those of us that do have issues any less valid.
And my character looks a whole lot more cartoony then she did pre-DT. She feels generic and the lines that gave her the specific look I like aren't there anymore. It is very disappointing.

But nitpicking the way the corners of a mouth slightly turn up or down or "oooh i found a slightly different zig instead of a zag on one scale" is just massively ridiculous.

Again, maybe you see it as such, but it changes the look and feel of the character. Especially for those of us who have played with the same one for years. That turn of the corner of the lip changes the character, it changes the look on a real person too.
This is a feedback thread; come in say you like it, but don't try to tell people they are being ridiculous because all the sudden their character has changed in a not 'good for them' way.

The characters look great, they still look like themselves with more details and to effectively play the game everyone is zoomed out to the max, so why are we getting this upset? I don't understand.

No, they don't, not to those of us who are taking our time to provide feedback - obviously if they looked like themselves and if we thought they looked great we wouldn't be providing that feedback, now would we?
And maybe you play with your camera that way all the time, that's cool, good for you; When I'm not in a dungeon or a raid, I have my camera nice and close and I'm sure many others play a similar way. I have gigs upon gigs of screenshots over 10 years (8 with my Au Ra) and now she is going to look like a sibling to my character instead of my character.
If you don't understand, that's fine, you don't have to, but don't come and start ridiculing those who have been taking the time and effort to put forth organized feedback.

In the end, it amounts to options. People like new, people like old. It would be lovely to have options for both. I'm sure there is a reason you chose the character options you did and reasons why you didn't choose others. What you find aesthetically pleasing may not be what others do. Plain and simple. And some of these reworked remodels are not as aesthetically pleasing to some of us as the originals were. You just have to accept some of us don't like the changes, and we have to accept that some do like the changes, but that doesn't stop us from providing that feedback they asked for.
