But now they're literally complaining about shadows making things look different - which is exactly what shadows do.

Someone literally said "I don't want to only like my character in certain lighting."

Like... even in 6.58 I only like my character in certain lighting. Thats not a benchmark thing. Thats a FFXIV thing.
People had legitimate concern with the 1.0 benchmark we got. For exemple, a bad vertex point on the Elezeen mouth made it extremely weird. Now, They upgraded the texture even further, changed lightning a bit, shadow calculation, etc etc and people get mad. People will always get mad for the slightest reason. Of course, some reason are completely valid, like a neck seam or eyelashes that aren't placed correctly on the eyes, etc... feature that are not done correctly.

I'm pretty satisfied with how my character look now. Looks great, and can't wait to start Dawntrail !
