We need to compromise as a player base

[Ath192]

And as I've said in several places now, I could maybe live with the weirdly round face (it is in fact more round which is shown when she looks over her shoulder on the chocobo in the original comparisons), maybe even the super pout (yes I am in fact attached to her current mouth shape considering I've had it since HW launch), but the dimples are honestly too far. It makes her feel like an entirely different character. And I've already hamfisted an excuse for her to change races once for her lore, I can't do it again without invalidating everything I've ever written for her, so a free fantasia isn't going to help me. They changed the entire vibe of the face just by changing the mouth.

You don't need to re-write her. All you need to do is accept the fact you are seeing a more high definition version of herself, and besides graphics fidelity she is the same person. I don't know about you but when I put glasses on in the mirror I see a completely different person. Its still me, but HD and quite frankly I prefer my softer look without the glasses haha, you see less flaws.

But perhaps this is a good indication more mouth types are needed in the character creator and perhaps a cheekbone slider in a future release.

I couldn't reply yesterday because I hit the post limit, so apologies for the delay in a reply. But putting glasses on in the morning does not add dimples to a previously dimpleless face. And every mouth has it so there's nothing I can change with a fantasia to fix it. If I wanted her to have dimples I would have used face 2 when I made her (which, ironically, has lost its dimples with the update), or have described her with dimples in any of the things I've written about her.


I have an edit ready to go if this update goes live with no changes. It's not her, but neither is her face with no tweaks. Again, if we wanna talk about compromise, I'm willing to compromise the face shape and the lips being fuller (even if it's pushing a beauty standard that I don't appreciate), but adding a whole new feature (dimples) to a face that never had it is where I draw the line.
