Dawntrail character graphics update - opinions, requests and discussion megathread

[Shnrnr]

I wanted my character to look the same, just upscaled.

This, times 1000. If I could boil this entire thread down to a single bug report, it's this:

Steps:

• create a character with the following characterstics (race, gender, face, etc.)
• compare the results between Endwalker and Dawntrail

Expected Results:

• the DT character looks like a higher-resolution version of the EW character

Actual Results:

• the DT character looks similar to the EW character but with clear design differences between the [brows/jaw/mouth/eyes/chin/cheeks/etc.]

I understand that there isn't an easy fix, especially now that many new players have created characters that they must be happy with using the updated facial features. But I'll say it again: if I could turn off the entire graphics update just to get my character back, I'd do it.
