I still really like the Lalafell I made with the latest freebie after really examining my Midlander character verses old images of that face and starting to hate it. She's as similar to my first avatar (and playing on PS3 potato graphics mode) from ARR I could recall, so time probably helps me not be weirded out.

I realized my old Elezen fave is gone, too. The eyes no longer have that almond shape with notable upper eyelashes, and the mouth is less thick and smiley.

It's so strange. It's truly across the board and it's *so subtle* that we really only see it because we're so attached. It's like uncanny valley kicks in or something. I wonder if the devs can even get it right no matter the effort.
