A new graphical update is coming to Final Fantasy 14 with the new Dawntrail expansion! Here is a detailed FF14 character creation comparison video I made using the first version of Dawntrail Benchmark.
What do you think of the new changes coming to the textures and character models in FFXIV Dawntrail?

Female hrothgars can growl and hiss. Oh my god…..
It was clear to me that the environment 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
Why do the new characters look like they are made out of wax now? Honestly, I don't really like that.
How do you play in the benchmark?
Thats quite the evil glare when you mentioned streaming. Seems something nefarious is afoot
Overall impressed with the update, though I have a bit of a pet peeve with how my character's eyeliners look much thicker than they did before. My girl apparently went through a goth phase when I wasn't looking (Though I suppose it was inevitable, being a BLM main and all).
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!
Now i need a new computer. Kind of frustrating. Went from max settings to the benchmark saying I can only play on default settings.
Sad that the cross fur on the fluffy miqo tail is still there…
Looking forward to going from one of the shortest races to one of the tallest on my alt lol
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
Now that we have seen Hrothgirls, you have to make the 'why you should play hrothgar' video, lol.
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.
The little detail with the elezen ears is really nice! I wonder if it's the same for lalafell and maybe even viera + miqote ears? The glowstick bunny boy ears have me wondering lol
The hair looks better, the faces look genuinely worse
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.
7:39 I was not expecting to see the meme here but I'm glad it's there lmao
I'm glad to hear darker skin will gain some shine to it. The only time my old-face elezen actually looks like I intended for him to is on weird lighting like the Vault, where his face paint freckles stand out. Otherwise they just kind of wash away.
