Dawntrail character graphics update - opinions, requests and discussion megathread

The texture was a bug. Duskwight didn’t have the ugly as fuck black bags before DT

I'm well aware and I still think it was an improvement even if it was unintended. At least let it be an option for once of the face types. I don't want to be all soft and squishy looking like Face 3 but also not a prune like Face 4. y'know?

I'm sorry that you lost something you enjoyed for 3 months so that people with Duskwights for nearly a decade could have their old look returned. Luckily, you can replicate the exact look you are missing by swapping to Wildwood since that is where the textures came from!

My bitchiness aside - dark circle face paint is something that all races could use. SE needs to consider a character creation update sooner rather than later.

Girliepop, I've been playing duskwight since 2.0 as well. Don't act like I'm a tourist because I liked...my character looking slightly older? (also wildwood are wack miss me with that)
But yes, I agree the creation system needs an upgrade. It's really sad I can get more options out of a 20 year old Korean MMO sometimes lol

Fair enough! The only people I've really seen talking about the Duskwight eyebag "nerfs" on other websites don't know that Duskwight never looked like that in the first place, so I projected. Point still stands. It is ridiculous to think that massive character/vibe changes should stay regardless of whether or not you personally like them.
(Wildwood are whack.)

As far as I'm concerned, this whole graphics debacle should have lit the fire under their ass to have the character creator updates in 8.0. Really no excuse at this point. I don't care about the code excuse anymore - it's their job and we pay for them millions of dollars to tackle these sorts of projects.

Does anyone mind checking if the skin tone of your character's face and neck matches your smallclothes body since 7.1? I'm seeing a mismatch for Keeper of the Moon F Miqo, most apparent on very light skin tones.

Bug report thread here: https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/...qo-te-F-Face-4

The body skin looks a shade more yellow, giving a disconnected feeling from the head. It stands out the most in low to medium lighting environments. In direct sun the difference gets washed out.
