It seems like it was their intention to make the less conventionally feminine faces look like pretty dolls with this update. I’m really frustrated by that outdated mentality. With multiple faces to choose from, why do they all have to be the same style?

I’ve also lost all motivation to play. Haven't logged in since early access and have barely touched dawntrail. I also used to just enjoy spending time in game because I felt such a connection to my character. I don’t anymore and it’s very demotivating.
Ironically, I would've expected that female seeker face 1 would already be a generic cat girl kind of face. My original intention was to make my character doll-like, with big eyes and long lashes and other smaller, soft facial features. Instead, she looks like an exaggerated, uncanny wax figure with most of her delicate, feminine aspects gone. I'm guessing that wasn't the developers' intention, since female keeper face 4 seemed to have the reverse situation. Seeker Face 1 and Face 3 have similar facial features, too. I don't understand how they translated Face 1 to feel so different. Why can't they make even the most generic cat girl facial features cute and feminine?

I don't mind slight adjustments to the original features, but I don't want them to look uncanny or swollen either. I'm just now starting Shadowbringers and whenever I see her new face in cutscenes, my eyes keep straining to look at her, as if I'm manipulating myself to like it. And I guess I'm getting used to the new emotes, but I still want the old facial animations, which enhanced my character's cuteness factor.

Of course I want to keep playing for the story, but I play this game especially because I'm attached to my character. I spent hours on creating a character I liked and never used any fantasia for her face. I already tried other customization options but there really are none that would fit this character. I already invested so much into her and just want my character to be cute and pretty.

I've been seeing players in the JP forums growing frustrated and hopeless by the lack of communication from the devs. Sorry for the rant, but I'm also feeling the same and wish to be heard.
