I’m considering not renewing once my game time runs out in a month. It will depend on what they do with the character graphics. I’m waiting for the public statement they’ve promised on it in the character graphics thread. They said they’ve delayed to properly translate it.

I don’t think the game is in a great state right now. I’ve not played far into Dawntrail but the writing leaves me feeling unsatisfied with my characters motivations. There have been a lot of issues with the graphics update, including serious problems with DLSS and FSR. Very poor quality control and consistency with visual bugs and character mesh and texture changes. I’m also not confident they have a sustainable or strong vision for job design (encounter design has improved steadily though!)

For me though, I’m so demotivated that the appearance of my Miqo’te changed. I would look past everything else and keep playing happily if my character returned to looking the way I loved. I don’t want to lose the house I finally won recently, but if I unsub depends completely on how they handle the character appearance feedback. I hope they take it seriously. I think they took too lightly peoples attachment to the appearance of their characters of up to 10 years.
