I'm not sure I like this change.

Yes, I'm joking.

Congratulations to the two of you for having Prosopagnosia I guess (though I wouldn't wish it on anyone). "The main symptom of prosopagnosia is having difficulty recognizing faces. You'll still see the parts of a face normally, but all faces may look the same to you." Taken from https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/face-blindness/

I am glad you have posted this as it takes me back to 1.0 and how lovely the characters looked. I am quite happy with the update as It is a little more like it was. The cartoon look is what we got for ARR and it really did make a lot of 1.0 players think wtf happened?

My character who I loved was gone and that was a massive blow and to be honest it kind of annoyed me but we just had to take the free fantasia and accept it. I managed to make a few characters that I love and I do fantasia a little more and I feel it is because I miss my 1.0 cat but I always felt she just did not port the way I remembered her.

I think there needs to be a few tweaks but to be honest they look nicer and my Husband said to me when I had my laptop open "What is the difference?" lol

I do understand there are slight changes the lip gloss is what I am wanting fixed and the Moon keeper teefs they need fixing that is quite bad.

I will make a proper comparison when I get onto my PS5 wish they had done a CC as more players do play on consoles now. I do hope they don't change it back as it is a improvement. I was able to make Hyur and a lovely Moon cat and Au ra. The lighting is doing a lot of things also as when in Gridania guild she looked more or less herself but with her hair sleeker and skin.

If you compare lalafell's eyes between 1.0&EW&DT will know that in fact ARR-EW are more closer 1.0 than DT. The new eyes are too dark...not a good idea indeed

I'm sorry to be a bit offtopic, but there is something that's been bugging me since I saw the first videos of 1.0 I feel they tend to be more realistic, and also the Elezen were better proportioned?? I saw Mother Myoune to look much better in 1.0, and with narrower shoulders (in my personal opinion)

I wonder why this changed so much with A realm reborn? I don't say I like ALL better in 1.0, I certainly not (since I prefer less realism in general, I like more colorful and stilized worlds). It's because the engine or change artistic direction? If someone knows...

I am unsure why they changed it so much but it was a downgrade....the way characters ran moved everything hair physics. I think a lot of people could not run the game at the time due to the specs it required. My Husband who played at the time said to me oh it wont be much different....his face when he logged in was one of complete shock.

It was this. Our PCs today could have handled it, but in 2010 they could not. The same computer that had been running FFXI without any problems choked and died on 1.0, and it only became playable for me after I put in a newer GPU. There were many things 1.0 did better than ARR, but when I rolled into ARR alpha I breathed a sigh of relief because the whole thing felt so much more VIBRANT compared to 1.0. Y'all think ARR can be washed out? 1.0 was in pastels in comparison.

Because even though this is 4k, at max size I can still only moderately zoom into the picture and a lot of face details are lost.

You're not, what you were asking was a really hard request, here it is though. I have also updated the Thread front post with it. I hope this provides you the details you need and helps everyone else make feedback or compare.
