Updated benchmark

Seconding this, this is going to be super cliche, but instead of making me feel excited, the traditional daily artwork countdown makes me feel like I'm in Majora's Mask and I got no ocarina on me.

My feelings exactly. : (
I know some people say "just change, you're too attached" but this is a story-driven game so it should not be surprising that some people actually build a, well, story around their characters and don't just treat them as virtual legs to traverse the game with.
There's this vibe that story-driven gaming or RPing is somehow less mature than technical fighting gameplay. If you care more about your char's story-driven experience than the fact that they are ostensibly just a means to do battle content with then your "gaming priorities are wrong".
I've had my OG char for such a long time and to add another cliche to this, she is my favourite character in here.
I like battle content but I want to experience it with my character in particular. For me challenge and story are equal components of what makes FF fun to me.
For others the balance may look different, nobody is wrong here, since it's about how you subjectively have fun as an individual. So I wished people who feel less attached to their chars could see that FF has many different aspects that different people focus on in terms of enjoying themselves.
For me the update's changes making my WoL look like a different char is a bit like your favourite character getting updated out of the game.
