These are taken in July and are very important because this is where I actually felt like I had my character back for a short while.

Aether dark
Aether with Light
Thanalan


Her face shape was closer to the original, the eyes were actually solid and not milky. She got back what I call the lalanose where she has a bit of darkness that unlike the other times in the graphics updates just looked like she had rubbed her face in dirt. Her hair colour had returned to being brown and not obviously purple/blue and her highlights had become more muted again. She didn't look like she had stuffed food in her cheeks anymore and her eyebrows were updated but still looked close to the original. Her hair also stopped being greasy which had been an issue since the 1st Benchmark. Her eyes became a bit more catlike again as well. I felt excited to play the game again as it felt like I would play the game as "me", not a "new" character.

I felt like this was the best the character has been since the graphics update and really wish they would return to this again as this felt like an update not an exchange.
