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

[DiaDeem]

I posted on another topic but here's my mine with the gamma matching the original. I know for me, my only issue is my eyebrows as I feel they've been thinned out a bit much lol. But yeah, gamma corrections aside, I think some faces had some changes that are a bit offputting for some folks.

This is another good one. Someone mentioned male characters looking really different, and... yeah, eyebrows will do that.

Most of the issues I'm seeing, I feel have to do with assets being altered too much rather than being a better version of their older selves. This may be why some people are calling their character "a different person". It's also true that some faces got it better than others, and taste being a subjective thing, everyone's milage may vary.

In hindsight, I think it would have been a smart idea for SE to release a character creator way earlier in the development cycle, to bounce back feedback and see what people thought as they went, making progressive updates instead of hitting us with a single thing two months before launch. A bit late for that.

I just wish people didn't get so... tribal about everything. I don't understand why some people are being antagonistic towards people with issues. People love their characters, and have concerns. They have a right to voice them. On the other hand, some people complaining seem to be dismissing some of the most wonderful changes outright, and it makes me sad, because technically, there was a lot of good work done here.

Unlike some people, and despite the fact that I absolutely love the upgrade, I've tried to remain understanding and fair when interacting with the topic today. I just hope to be permitted the same courtesy from the other side of the argument. I'm not trying to grift people when I ask for accurate comparisons. I just think they're better to point out issues, and better for feedback too. Verrot and Sosoma's comparisons are also really good.

I'm a bit tired and I don't know if I'm running out of posts, but I don't think there's much more I can contribute to the topic in general.

Once again, I wish the best for everyone. Take care.
