More detailed info in spoiler box below, for those that don't want to read a wall of text and just look at pictures. (editing it in after posting do to limits.)

My character from FFXI.


From early 1.0.


From end of 1.0.


From 2.0 launch.


From mid 2.0


From end of 2.0


From shortly after 3.0 launch.

Picture #1: First a low quality image of my character from FFXI at present, can't find any old pictures of her back in the 75 era were I played as a DRK, lost to time on one of my old PC's most likely.

Picture #2: And now on to FFXIV. I started in 1.0 as the Miqo'te seen below, after class changing for a bit I settled on playing as a GLA.

Picture #3: And again near the end of 1.0 as a PLD, even as people laughed at us and called us lolpld cause WAR was better in every way I stuck it out and wielded my sword and shield till the very end were I became a Legacy Adventurer.

Picture #4: Some time later I would once again play FFXIV when 2.0 was finished, my character carried over poorly, skin color, eye color, even voice, were all off, so after some time in the new character creature she walked on Erozea once more.

Picture #5: Mid 2.0 I felt as if my character was lacking somehow, she just didn't look very good once I stepped back and really looked at her. I didn't have makeup or face paint or anything on her, on top of that her skin was far to far into the red tone (what I call R and Y context, or Red and Yellow), so I set about trying to make her look better. And many potions later this was the outcome. A new cuter hairdo, lip color, cheek blush, a whole new her.

Picture #6: But after a time it just felt like I'd over done it a little, or a lot. and her skin/lip/blush colors still felt wrong. So a many potions later and a good few ours of balancing colors I finally, finally had her looks perfect in my opinion. A nice middle ground on the Red and Yellow tones for her skin, lip color that blended in with her skin only leaving a faint shine on her lips, and check blush that felt simple let nice. I couldn't really find a way to improve her any. And that's how she would remain till the end of 2.0.

Picture #7: Then 3.0 hit, and with it changes to lighting and shadows. The changes suddenly made everything look wrong on my character again, her blush almost couldn't be seen and her lips were a very odd dull brown color different from her skin. Once again many an hour was spent trying to make her look good again. And finally after many tries she looked better even then before. I'm a DRK in the picture but I've been slipping more and more back into my role as a PLD, most like going to be PLD for life through thick and thin!
