Please just give us a non-graphics update option for DT

[Swordsman]

I've seen this asked several times before on the forums and I can't help but agree. The changes to the faces of our characters are jarring to say the least, and they become even more noticeable when using emotes. Bodies haven't even been changed at all, and they're still the same low-polygon models, at least for middies. Please just give us a non-graphics update option for Dawntrail so we can once again have our characters that we're familiar with and we've grown so accustomed to.

Edit: At least the option to revert certain things like character face models or lighting. Not everything needs to be rolled back.

Seconding. Aside from the character faces changing way too harshly and looking uncanny, the art direction of the graphics update it just unappealing to me. The lighting is harsh and glowing in bright areas, and washed out in dark ones. Shadows have no definition. The only things that look "upgraded" are the foliage and the texture of certain materials, neither of which I care about. I could wait another year for them to make a legacy graphics release of dawntrail, and happily wait that long or more if it meant not hating every second I spend looking at my WoL.

Considering the game also now causes quite a bit of eye strain for some people (including me), having the new graphics toggleable feels like a necessity. We literally can't play the game as it is now.

Oh, and the game also now runs a lot worse on PS4, and is almost unplayable on lower-end PCs that used to run it with 60 fps.

Of course it runs worse, the minimum requirements have gone up. I see people complaining their 1070 struggles to run the game at 1440p. Of course it does. Upgrade your 20 year old PC.

Ah yes, how dare we get eye strain from the updated graphics

If your issue is because of the blurriness, try messing with your graphics settings. DLSS/FSR will 100% be the culprit.

I've been playing about 8 hours today, max graphics but shadow details reduced a bit, and DLSS turned off and set to FSR, but I don't have an AMD GPU.
I found DLSS lowered my score in the benchmark, so I think I've disabled it by setting to FSR.
No eye issues at all.

I wanted to say "just put on sunglasses" xD but I get it, I did too for a bit.
