7.0 benchmark has been a horror show for me. I was initially excited, and willing to accept some unavoidable character changes under the belief that they'd look better and prettier. However, it's been quite the opposite; the new textures and shapes (especially the lips) are a huge downgrade, so the problem is not that most of my characters look different now but that they look much worse.

In an attempt to take this situation the best I could, I considered the possibility of just saying goodbye and create new characters, which is painful. However, it's been really difficult because I simply don't like what the character creator has become. I don't like how faces and facial expressions look now, so I've been unable to create any new character I could like.

This has made me consider quitting the game. If I can't play a character I truly like, there's no point.

I'll check how I feel when 7.0 lands and I can witness this nightmare ingame. Until then, I admit I don't have much hope for this.

So I excitedly downloaded the new Benchmark to test how my characters look in the new graphics...

What the hell is this (._.)

(BEFORE VS AFTER)

Why does the base face look like it has tons of agressive makeup on ;_; I must investigate if there's a way to change this, but... I feel I've lost my characters and I'm feeling a biiiiiiiit destroyed about this, haha ;;;

The natural look and softness... all is gone... orz

Hello! ;w; Sorry, I get this notification of having received a message (which only lets me read the first words and nothing more. This one is fine because it's short, but I couldn't read much of the previous message ;;; ).

So, when I go to my inbox to read and reply...

@A@???

Yet this still says there are 290 messages in total!

Where did everything go??? What is this random mystery?

I'll let Nonopi express how the new tumblr feels.

I'm very sorry. orz

The only thing I could read from the previous message was that you just started playing FFXIV. If so, welcome to Eorzea! I really hope you're enjoying your stay in this magical world. I'm sorry about this tumblr problem.

To the anon who sent me a message: for some reason, tumblr won't let me read it. Whenever I click in my message folder, it says it's empty even if it shouldn't be (>_<)

I'm very sorry, I don't know how to solve this... Has anyone else had the same problem?
