Dawntrail character graphics update - opinions, requests and discussion megathread

[GreenLeafy]

Snip

I think its extremely prejudiced to come in here and assume that all the ones who miss their old faces want for people who do enjoy the new look of their WoLst to have every single change reverted. If you look at a multitude of posts on this thread and others there are people who came in here happy with their faces and graphical update and faced no backlash. People who miss the old features wish to retain the option to have those features again. And say that in the same breath that the character customization menu should be expanded to preserve both old and new.
Its extremely entitled to come into this thread to voice your opinion and think it has higher merit even though it is YOUR subjective view on the matter whilst simultaneously ignoring everything that people have been actively fighting for on here for the past few months. You're lashing out at people who've been here advocating to preserve things that you've come to love with the update whilst also pleading to have that same courtesy extended to them for features that they found better in their opinion and have been taken away from them without a say in the matter when they've had them for near a decade.

Stop being an ego hyprocrite and learn some empathy , even more so toward people who have been on your side the whole time. The reason people are having a somewhat more resistant stance to you stomping your boots into this thread to fight against everything being fought for in here is because there have been countless more people exactly like you beforehand that have tried to silence the voices of people trying to get nothing more than some more extra options and variety for everyone that also preserve the integrity of racial and clan distinction that has been in the game since its conception.

At what point have I stated that my opinion holds greater weight than someone who dislikes the 7.0 assets. In the very post you quoted I am asking for people who view the 7.0 assets negatively to understand that people who prefer the 7.0 assets do hold equal value to them.
I haven't lashed out at anyone, I haven't been aggressive to anyone. I've just replied to posts that replied to me, and separately listed feedback for the Graphics Update. You're reply here is more aggressive than anything I've posted.

I'd also add, countless more people like me? If people want to voice positive feedback to the graphics update, they have every right to do so, same as people voicing negative feedback. Yet I've seen that people who post opinions in favour of the 7.0 assets tend to get multiple quotes/replies telling them that they're wrong for doing so.

Yet again, to the complaints that CBU3 didn't maintain the original faces with the updated 7.0 assets. I just disagree. I do think CBU3 did a good job and maintained and improved upon their original intention behind the 6.X assets. My opinion differing to the trend of this thread doesn't make it lesser then those who disagree with me.

The normal- and shadow maps are completely f****d up. I have reported it here:
https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/...e-Elezen-faces

But they closed it as "unsufficient information". And i have no clue why it is "insufficient".

I believe the bug reports need to follow a certain guideline? I am not sure why it was rejected, but hopefully you've reposted the examples in your report in the general feedback thread here (and I encourage you to do so if you have not.) FFXIV's lighting has always been iffy from certain angles (even in real life you can't get a universally good looking lighting/angle all the time) and they have been improved with 7.0 but not everything can be covered. I've noticed odd shading particularly around the edges of objects, hopefully this is something they address in the coming patches.
