"As little as possible" quite literally means still altered to some degree.

If that weren't the case there would be no point in handing out a free fantasia to everyone.
They're changing the graphics, of course they'd be altered. Just putting the same models in the new lighting will alter how they look somewhat.

The point of the fantasia would be for changing eye color or skin color if they don't quite look the same with the new lighting. Not for making a whole new character because they completely changed the face you were using for no good reason.
