First of all; I'm grateful for the effort put in the game and try to improve it, there are a lot of things that changed for the better, however... I think there have been too many unnecessary changes on character's faces and I'm sad and dissapointed about it.

I hope the FFXIV team works a bit more on this issue because almost anything changed from benchmark to benchmark 1.1 appart from light sources...I feel a bit betrayed about that.

Second of all:
My main problem comes from characters 'default' expression drastic changes, and lips now having different shapes an colors, these are just some examples since I have 8 characters and all of them look very different from before...

Please give us back lips gradients+shapes and face expressions


My au-ra looked like a fragile young girl, and she nows looks like an angry lizard, also much more older than before. Her vulnerable look is not there anymore... I'm sad


Change of lip shape + lose of gradient (I liked this one specifically)
Also her face looks dollyfied and "beautified", that was never my intention with this particular character, I liked more a neutral appearance and it's lost


My elezen looked serious and imposing, and now looks like she is soft with a subtle smile...
Honestly, her face looks better now, more pretty, but I don't want pretty I want ANGRY.

Hope I explained myself clearly even if I dont' have the best comparisons, , hope it gets better in a reasonable timeframe... I understand if it can't be very soon, but at least I hope it's noticed and adressed eventually. Thank you for reading!
