I posted in the past about my worries and issues with the DT graphics update and changes of the player models around the time DT came out. Even though some are outdated I would like to follow up on it and add new points since there have been changes since and also because of the worry that there won't be any big changes to characters after 7.1.
I'll add a link to my previous post here and at the end of my posts for the old pictures and thoughts I had then, for example how my character looked before the graphics update and more details. https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/...e-4-Benchmarks
I'll apologise ahead of time for how long this post will be.
I sadly didn't take pictures right after DT, but my opinions of how the character looked then matched my worries of the 2nd Benchmark and I couldn't give myself any motivation to play.
This is from august. I saw others putting the pictures inside a hidden box and thought that was a good idea since I don't know how to control the size of the pictures.

Her markings got much less noticeable from the original face. The eyes had gotten very milky and her pupils were very dilated to an uncomfortable amount. In some lights her face looked thin (like the Aether picture) and in others she looked puffy (like in the Thanalan picture) like she had stuffed food in her mouth.

I also really dislike how her eyes went from catlike to doll-like. And she always looked like she was pouting, like her mouth is strained or tense more than Face 4 usually gave you. She had the prickles on her face here but they are actually gone now which is a really nice plus.
