You guys are the lucky ones.

But this is such a disappointing change for me that I'm thinking of using an alt in the beginning and hoping that they allow us to keep the original lines before using my main again.

And, related, adding some new pictures I put together. I really don't understand why the lines/shapes were changed. It feels like someone was looking at the original model, and then tried to redraw it from memory and got really close, but not quite (the new ones are lovely - they just aren't my character) and called it a day.
I feel exactly the way you do. It's 5 or 6 years for me, and a screenshots folder that's 30GB. I still have the original fantasia I was given but I love my character so much I've never used it. Another free fantasia isn't going to fix this for me, especially when there's only two or three extremely similar options per facial feature to switch to. I've honestly felt depressed about this whole thing. My character doesn't feel like my character anymore to me either. You inspired me to make a split screen comparison. I made mine a video. Hopefully this works. I also made one to show the missing lip gap as well as the change in face profile.

I really want them to spend more time making things closer. Faces is how most of us recognize others. It's too uncomfortable for me to see these changes.
