Most people wouldn't want to admit that the limitation of old downsized Luminous Engine
Is what make their character... their character.

And the tricky things is art is both objective and subjective at the same time.

What CBU3 could do is just simply increase the polycount across the body without changing the current character features and options at all.

And then add some new character customization feature as well as options that became possible due to increased polycount of character.

But we all know due to technical debt of 2.0 FFXIV's downsized Luminious Engine, it was too time consuming to be prioritized to add these feature.

The biggest mistake Yoshida-san has done to FFXIV is release FFXIV within the life-span of PS3. And now this development decision is starting to bite them back now.
