So, having a file with only the eyes for all characters and a transparent background (if necessary) would be very welcome, if you'd still do that.
Still got not idea if it's enough to replace the eyes in the same file you used, though. Like, the other modders file that's the same you "edited."
In any case, thanks in advance. 8k mods are nice, but I'd also like to use those eyes to enjoy my next playthrough with FFX even more.
And big thanks you created those mods, btw ;)
UPDATE: found a way to do it myself
Yuna's high poly/high detail textures are all in one image (same for Tidus and the other party members, as far as I know), so providing a mod that doesn't clash with other texture mods that change the same character is rather hard. The only thing I can do to make it a bit easier to combine this mod with other ones is to give a file with Yuna's eyes that you'd still have to edit in yourself, which isn't much different from just copying the eye from the texture I already provided; the only difference would be that you wouldn't have to manually select the eye from my texture before copying it. People who know how to change the textures of FFX and have some proficiency with graphics editors can definitely fuse this mod with e.g. the 4k Yuna texture, though, at least for private use.
Since I don't know if Drogean allows edited versions of his 4k textures to be publicly distributed (it doesn't seem like it, at least), I don't think I would be allowed to make an edited version with my own eye mods and put it up as a download. I personally don't mind it if people use my textures as part of texture mods (yes, even if you put them up for public download, though do check the readme files for the texture you want to include parts of as this might change), but that's mainly because they're relatively simple.
Also, don't worry about your English; it's very understandable to me. I'm not a native speaker either.
Any characters in particular that stand out to you who need new eyes? Also, just high detail models (cutscenes only) or low details (overworld, battles)?

As for low detail models, I definitely think the eyes (and faces in general) could use a bit more definition, though I'm not quite sure if I can edit them as well as the eyes as I'll have less pixels to work with. I'm not comfortable with upscaling the textures as it will be more graphically intensive for players with low end PC specs and I'm pretty sure I'll get quite some pixelization. (I had to fix up my Modest Lulu mod's alterations after scaling them up for her high res model - the low res one was made first as I had some trouble extracting it from the game.) I'm also not sure if more face details will translate well for scenes where the characters aren't close to the camera, so there's that factor to consider as well.
I think the high res models didn't get used nearly as much as in FFXII because FFX is Square's first PS2 entry in the Final Fantasy series. They've had practice with FFX-2 and if I'm correct also FFXI (not sure if FFXI was released on PS2 or not) when it comes to optimizing 3D models and textures and that's not even mentioning the other series Square put on the PS2, like Kingdom Hearts. Needless to say, I think the remaster is basically mostly texture upscaling, improving the music with the new arranged versions and making the game compatible with modern gaming systems, but not much else.
I mainly packaged the file this way so people who are unfamiliar with the way Project X works can easily install the mod without having to figure out where the texture folder is located.
