Character graphical changes are NOT in an acceptable state, please make it optional

Definitely agree in the eye and lip departments. I could have sworn it was mentioned that they wanted to improve the look of the femra blank eyes back when they first started talking about the updates, but instead it seems like they've just extended it to everyone. Caps from the benchmark don't fix it at all, only thing that makes any difference is zooming ALL the way in. My astigmatism doesn't even know where to focus on the new eyes. I can live with the lip change on my femroe, but I really liked having a narrower lip option that didn't extend the color all the way to the corners.

Seeing as this thread is only people complaining about stuff are Miqote, Elezen, Humans, Aura and Vieras. And almost next to none hrothgar, roes and lalafells. Makes me wonder if the only reason Roes/Hrothgars and a bit of lalafels didn't see that much of a drastic changes in their characters because of how unpopular they are (Exception lalas). Tho i for sure see couple problems with the eye shape, and mouths being flatter which is a common thing in every race change it seems, its didnt affect that much afromentioned races.

9/10 of these comparison posts I immediately think "Dang what an upgrade", and the other 1/10 it's Pam's "they're the same picture"

I very much agree with you. I like my old face better.

This simply doesn't feel like a complete product. You can't even use a short hairstyle on midlander without your neck breaking lol. It needs to be addressed. Hopefully a statement comes out at least saying they hear the fixes that need to be made.

The answer to your question. "After the release of the benchmark, we will continue to make improvements to the game's visual fidelity in the lead up to the release of FINAL FANTASY XIV: Dawntrail."

I'd like to suggest that the white skin shine vary with skin tone; on darker skin tones especially it looks very unnatural, like oil or water or something. Maybe soften the intensity of the whiteness or make the white warmer/cooler depending on the skin tone so it looks more natural?

The new textures look awful. I like textures now way better.

I noticed the game looks a little more stylistically similar to live by turning down gamma correction from 50 (the default) to 25 which leads me to believe there is a global under the hood setting that CBU3 can adjust to makes things a little better almost everyone.
