The Final Fantasy 14 Dawntrail benchmark released this past weekend and it includes a full character creator with the new 7.0 graphics! I spent way too much time in here making characters and in this video we’ll take a look at them.

  1. The female Au Ra have a weird neck seam that is very visible in some emotes and there are a couple of other issues like the beauty mark on male viera cheeks look like a hair stuck to his face and not a dot.

    Over all it's a really nice improvement. The limbal rings on female au ra actually give off light. If you look at them in a dark setting you can see the light illuminating their cheeks etc. I just wish they had separated the Au Ra horns from the faces and hrothgar hair from their faces. Those are really disappointing design decisions.

  2. I thought I would never make much less enjoy a lala, but once they announced that we’d get another free Fantasia I turned my alt bunny girl until a lala. We will not be turning back 🤣 they are just so expressive and cute. Anywho no complaints on my cat girl main. She looks great as per usual. Glad they made dark-skinned characters look better. She looks amazing even in not so lit areas in the benchmark.

  3. Looks like HrothGirls won out in the fang department. I guess it's time to fantasia my moon cat girl alt to something else. Appreciate your chill vibe in these videos, looking forward to the next!

  4. Agreed on the midlander hyur in that some of them can look pretty young but I recommend checking out the 'older' looking face (it WAS face 4 but I think it's face 3 now) the one that Yoshi P uses for the Wandering Minstrel and himself ingame, it's definitely less 'teenager' and has some pretty big range to it depending on colour use and facial hair or not

  5. I mostly play a Fem Roe Sea Wolf. I recently changed her to a Male Duskwight and now I'm torn on which to use going forward.

    This update isn't helping the decision, because I tried them both out with the Benchmark and they both look SO GOOD!!!

    I also made a Male Roe Sea Wolf with the Benchmark and man, what a glow up!

    The Elezen and Roe races are definitely underappreciated!
