That's... insane. I've SEEN the current/new normal maps being passed around discords, there's literally nothing on the brows of the new one except pores while the current is perfectly detailed. "Graphical update" my arse, this is an obvious and definitive downgrade.

Let's hope it's like the lalafell teeth and they've already slated it for fixing... or it's a misfile on the JP side and they'll listen on EN... /copium

I don't think I can bring myself to fanta... I love my character as she is too much. I honestly think I'm more likely to quit playing than fanta, this whole thing has soured me too much that I don't think I have the energy to try to get attached to a new race, y'know?

On an unrelated note, anybody here know how people mod the game? asking for a friend, of course (/jk) P: I'm sure if SE won't fix it, someone will... Leaving in stuff like this and marking it "not a bug" sure feels like a great way to push people into modding, though.
