Glasses slot, two dye channels, more outfits, more stuff to explore, paintbrush weapons!
-
Honestly, this seems like work that a modder would do and not a development studio
-
Now that we have seen Hrothgirls, you have to make the 'why you should play hrothgar' video, lol.
-
Au Ra have been up-"scaled" hehe
-
Female hrothgars can growl and hiss. Oh my god.....
-
Thanks for helping me with my benchmark withdrawals by providing some lovely comparisons. I just want to keep looking at it until it manifests in the full game!
-
I hope you make another video once the new Benchmark comes out to compare these shots against the newer versions so that we can visually see what, if anything, has changed. I found this comparison a lot more useful than the 90 minute livestream as their stream quality was just way too low for me to fully appreciate all the work that they've put into this graphics update.

I'm SO happy with the graphics update! It's so much work from the developers, but it helps tremendously in making the game look less dated. I think that's huge for the continued longevity of FF14, and I'm really glad that the devs have the foresight to dedicate the resources to this task of essentially remastering the game.
-
Thank you for this comprehensive comparison upload and commentary. 🙏🏾
-
I'm just looking forward to all the new stuff to see and do, honestly! Content to run, glams to acquire, new crafts and new treasure maps, heck yeah!!! Also re the benchmark changes: My fem duskwight elezen uses the roundest face shape, and it seems they slimmed it down a bit??? Her mouth now looks too wide for her face, but luckily there is another option I like! So tl;dr I like the changes for the most part and the one thing I don't I can easily fix with the free fantasia ^^
-
They took my midlander's eye brows and stubble! I want it back.
-
My Au Ra looks so good with the update! The big thing I noticed was they improved the texture on the lips for face 1 and also made the chin less point on the female model so it looks more round and natural. I was going to switch to viera but after the update im keeping my au ra and might add the limbal ring since it looks like they majorly improved that! I didnt like how much it stood out before the update so its nice it is more blended now
-
It was clear to me that the environment in the benchmark character creator didn't get the update, but that didn't stop me to actually see how good the improvements are. People were exaggerating all the "Issues", I'm still glad they addressed it though. All my char presets looked fabulous in the benchmark and I'm definitely making a Cat Mom for the new MSQ. Viper Femhroth HERE WE GOOO
-
I still wish that the benchmark was available to everyone, but I know this is the point of the benchmark to provide feedback and to make improvements. But overall I’m still very impressed with what we saw, ang I can’t wait to see how my bun boy looks in Dawntrail.
-
Thanks for all your work and efforts! I play as male miqo'te and I absolutely love the improvement of graphics in dawntrail. Even though I have to wait for dawntrail to enjoy(bc I'm playing this game in KR server), I am so glad about this upcoming expansion. I really love your content, and I look forward to watching more videos about FF14.
-
amazing video as always!
-
i didnt see the fluffy tail problem till you pointed it out and now i cant unsee it (im a fluffy tail catboy so this may have me change my entire character i have been playing for 10 plus years D: )
-
My Lalafell boy was immune to the faulty lighting it seems. There is an issue with soulless eyes. Mine is a milky white Dunesfolk, it's soulless as it should be. The shape of the face was another issue but my Lalafell face is still round. With closer inspection, it's even more round. And the texture being dull and flat, my Lalafell often gets mistaken with minions, a lifeless doll. It's all as it should be.
-
I had to recreate my WoL to check how they'll look in Dawntrail, since I'm a console pleb. Although I couldn't pick my actual hairstyle, my character looked so damn good. I was a little afraid at first, because there were a lot of unsatisfied people, saying that their WoL's have been changed beyond recognition.

I played ff14 last year for the first time in many years as an Au ra and during the last couple of days before my 30 days were up, I switched to viera and cat to try them out since I didn't like my scales anymore. Now I'm planning on going back to being an Au ra but for some reason, I can't help but be enticed by Vieras even though I can't get it to feel like my WoL. Nonetheless, I'm super excited for Dawntrail and I plan to main viper both story/rp reasons and because I spent most of my time as a ninja
