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

Just discussion, I don't even see the necessity to this "upgrade." They didn't even upgrade anything? The skin textures look worse than the original in some of these photos. They either look so smooth it's like a plastic doll, or they're still bad and pixelated. I was genuinely trying to see what the improvement really was at times. They added more lines to the pupil... and some of the hairstyles are smoothed out. There's no huge improvement. I did notice lalafell (looked the same), highlander / elezen seemed to come out much better than the other races. At least with those models I can see a real difference with the skin textures being updated.

It really looks like they just went in and touched up the design of the faces, not the graphics in most of the pictures showing comparisons. It's like.. a whole new calamity. We had bahamut and now we have really weird face design decisions. I know many people may not be able to see the difference, but the way your character makes you -feel- can be altered with slight changes. It's like death by a 1000 papercuts. Rounded edges = swollen looking faces, not modern graphics. Rounding out the eyes = a softer / doe-like expression, not a bada** warrior look. Plump undefined lips = very bad plastic surgery look. These are probably the most common issues I've found with the updated faces. It's like every character either went to a bad plastic surgeon or they're having a permanent allergic reaction to something.
