Eye Shape 6, Iris Size Large, Mouth 2, Lip Color None, Facial Features 5

1.1 benchmark Miqo'te Fem has an unnatural face with heavy makeup and retouching throughout. There is very little of her face left before the update.
Final Fantasy 14's customization was great because it was CLAN-specific, but after the graphical update, it feels like CLAN-specific traits have been merged together. They don't feel special anymore.



1. eyes
(1) The eyelashes are too densely packed, making them feel stuffy to look at. If we choose a large Iris Size, it can even look scary.
(2) There is too much light in the Iris. I think one or two would be enough.
(3) The mole on the face is very unnatural.



2. mouth
(1) The Miqo'te Fem lips had a w-shaped line, which I liked because I thought it had a feline quality to it, along with the sharp fangs, and this was the reason I chose the Miqo'te.
However, looking at the benchmark photo, it appears that the entire clan has straight, unnatural lines.
(2) The No Existing Lip Colour setting produced matte lips and a natural gradient, but in the benchmark, the gradient disappears and a subtle shine appears.
(3) The lips are small compared to the lengthened corners of the mouth, and the border of the lips is clearly defined, and the shading of the corners of the mouth is overdone, which makes the face look very unnatural and not harmonious.



As someone who loved the matte look of Final Fantasy XIV, I'm disappointed.
I know a lot of hard work must have gone into updating the graphics. I appreciate the effort. I don't want the update to be cancelled, but if you can't accommodate this request, I'd like to see you at least add the ability to toggle graphical updates on and off for characters only.
