Changing the face shape should not have happened at all.

I am actually very happy with how my characters look right now and I don't think changing them was necessary.

What I would expect from an upgrade would be sorting out any issues with pixellation or rough edges, maybe improving the shadows and the way light sometimes behaves oddly.

There should be no change to the character's overall face shape or expression, because that is what gives a character their personality.

If I had the power to set people on graphic updates to the characters and gear, it would be customisation things: hats for Viera and Hrothgar (if there is no actual deep-seated programming issue blocking it) and customising things to better suit individual races: review Miqo'te hats to add earholes or pockets and make sure they actually fit the ears; likewise for Elezen and Lalafell; review hairstyles for each race and adjust them so they make sense – fix things that float off the head, fail to account for non-human ears or have Au Ra growing sideburns directly out of their cheek scales.

As it is, I feel like the character of my characters has been altered, while actual visual issues remain unfixed.
