Earlier this week, Final Fantasy XIV fans got the chance to download the Dawntrail benchmark, allowing them to see how well their rigs could handle the upcoming graphic update when the expansion launches. A character creator was also available, but fans were less enthusiastic about the results.
Many players cited the lighting and ambiance of the character creator making their characters look lackluster. Multiple fans were talking about how disappointed they were, so much so a thread on the Final Fantasy XIV subreddit attempted to address how players could play with the lighting for better results. The comments have become so overwhelming that Final Fantasy XIV producer Naoki Yoshida addressed these issues and shared why they might look this way ahead of Dawntrail‘s release on June 28.
