Hey people of Perchance and to whoever developed this generator,
I know people keep saying, “The new model is better, just move on,” but I need to say something clearly and honestly: I loved the old model.
The old model was consistent.
If I described a character — like a guy in a blue jumper, red jeans, and purple hair — the old model actually gave me that. It might sound ridiculous, but at least I could trust it to follow the prompt. When I used things like double brackets ((like this)), the model respected my input.
And when I asked for 200 images, the results looked like the same character across the whole batch. It was amazing for making characters, building stories, and exploring different poses or angles. The style was consistent. That mattered to me. That was freedom.
Now with the new model, I try to recreate those characters I used to love and they just don’t look right anymore. The prompts don’t land. The consistency is gone. The faces change, the outfits get altered, and it often feels like the model is doing its own thing no matter what I ask.
I get that the new model might be more advanced technically — smoother lines, better faces, fewer mistakes. But better in one way doesn’t mean better for everyone. Especially not for those of us who care about creative control and character accuracy. Sometimes the older tool fits the job better.
That’s why I’m asking for one thing, and I know I’m not alone here:
Let us choose. Bring back the old model or give us the option to toggle between the old and the new. Keep both. Don’t just replace something people loved.
I’ve seen a lot of people online saying the same thing. People who make comics, visual novels, storyboards, or just love creating characters — we lost something when the old model was removed. The new one might look nice, but it doesn’t offer the same creative control.
This isn’t about resisting change. This is about preserving what worked and giving users a real choice. You made a powerful tool. Let us keep using it the way we loved.
Thanks for reading this. I say it with full respect. Please bring the old model back — or at least give us a way to use it again.
please
Nah, you are absolutely wrong. The new model is hundreth time better than previous one . It just needs training on more data. Or they can replace it with sdxl . I wouldn’t mind paying for sdxl but the previous sd1.5 was very bad . I would agree if you say some art styles were masterpiece but we can get such art styles in this model too after the training finishes so be patient.
Ok then state this model’s Pro aspects and it has to be more than 4. I know one of them would include furry and cartoons anyways
I hear you — but we’re talking about different goals here.
You’re focusing on raw output quality, and I get that. Yes, the new model (like Flux or SDXL) does look cleaner, more polished, and overall more modern. If your goal is one-off images or artistic flair, I totally understand preferring it.
But for people like me — who use these models to create consistent characters across batches for things like comics, visual novels, or storyboarding — the older model had a huge advantage: it stayed consistent.
It wasn’t about the exact prompt. It was about how the results felt connected, like they were from the same world, same artist, same character — with minor differences, not total redesigns every time.
Right now, I’m using the same prompt and seed structure I used before, and I’m getting characters that vary a lot — even with careful tuning. That’s the core of what I’m missing.
Also, saying “wait for training” is fine, but why should we have to wait at all when we already had something that worked? Why not offer both options — the new polished one and the old consistent one?
So no hard feelings, but I’m not “absolutely wrong” just because our use cases are different. I’m just asking for a choice, not a replacement.
