Dawntrail Graphical Update - Au Ra Feedback

I'm so sentimentally attached to my character that seeing her in benchmark and not recognizing her was heartbreaking. I loved her angular features and they got removed. I'm not sure what prompted them to change lip, nose, eyes, and jaw shape for face 4 female's but it sucks so much. I pray they allow us to use our current options or revert the changes. My character means so much to me and they went and ruined her.

So I'm mostly fine with what I'm seeing comparison wise

My issue (And I'm not sure if its been posted before) is with certain emotes/movements, the seam at the neck becomes VERY visible which I did not notice in current graphical settings:
(This is all 7.0)

Same, I use face 4 specifically because it wasn't as round and soft as the other faces and have since HW because I wanted Akira to be a bit harsher looking, more angular like you said. Now she's got a cutesy pout and dimples and a super rounded face. ;_; She doesn't look like herself at all.

https://media.discordapp.net/attachm...708&height=671

generally can live with what they did here, but a few things:
1). scales/horns don't exactly look like they're an organic part of my body
2). my nose changed - like my nostrils are flared a bit more. definitely weird, not sure why they did that
3). lip gloss is gone (imo they need to fix this, or add a toggle) and lip colors still suck. i was hoping they'd finally make "true black" lipstick look good for once, but high-saturation and dark lip colors still look completely matte and washed out

my highlander preset on the other hand looks fantastic lol

All the extra puffiness and softness is really not great on alot of Face 4 Female Au Ra characters, especially ones that are made to look tougher and more stern. Features have been replaced with ones that have an uncanny softness that just does not fit our characters.

All my friends playing hyur got flat upgrades, my girl looks so sad.

New: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachmen...e2422efcedc31&

She looks like her face just got straight up inflated, and given a 1000 yard stare. In any situation where light is directly on her face she looks like she's aged 40 years and got stung by a bee. Yes, the scale and horn textures are amazing but all the shapes of the face features are WRONG. She lost most her eye shadow, her eyes are spaced out more and just dead inside, the limbals are just hair highlights for eyes, her lips are completely wrong, her cheeks are inflated, overall she looks like someone started the process of selectively breeding her into a pug.

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachmen...e6dec9c723dc0&

Also, artifacting on the scales on her upper arms (only noticed them in this section)
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachmen...c5c2d0e273fea&

Like a lot of other people I have a problem with my aura.

https://i.imgur.com/hXEjy7v.png

Not talking about the lightning/washed out colors, I know character creation hasn't the best lights, and the gamma was different between the two screenshots.

BUT. Where are my limbal rings, why are they merged with the eyes? She looks like a lifeless doll when her eyes were so pretty and vibrant before, and unique with the demarcation. I can do with the nose, it doesn't change the face much in my case, but THE LIPS, why are they so small and looking like it's a duck face? The lips are really terrible, I even had to put lipstick on to actually make them slightly better, but the mouth is still totally different.

And of course I have to talk about the shitty work on the black scales, it's so ugly on dark skin (sorry developpers, maybe that why dark scales were never shown before, they're not ready for sure).

https://i.imgur.com/IHzxZ6y.png

I can't get my eye off the two white dots on my character's forehead, they stand out a lot.

https://i.imgur.com/uhIkjVI.png

Don't get me wrong, the graphic update is awesome, and most of it is really neat, but there are some things that I really hope will be corrected for DT regarding the characters, because it breaks my heart to not recognize her.

They only look fine if you're pale. As it stands, there's artifacts all over the edges that really impact darker skinned au ra and it's just so disappointingly messy + all the warmth from the old skintones is gone.

My take on the limbal rings is this: They're an optional feature. One you don't even need a fantasia to change, at that. If I wanted my character to have subtle, natural-looking eyes, I simply wouldn't have given her limbal rings. Give us the glow!

And like a lot of other people's WoL's his skin is noticeably lighter than before, though I struggled to show it in the character creator without getting shadows across his face.

My character is as kind-looking as I was able to make him while keeping a thin face, his personality is optimistic, gentle, and friendly. His face doesn't reflect that at all anymore.

He feels like looking at a completely different person, nothing like how I wanted him to be when I made him. I'm devastated.

My character is very much the same as yours and I can't comprehend what they've done to him.

I really hope they can fix or revert it.

Pretty unhappy with the lips change. They've lost all their character imo. Old on top, new on bottom.

https://i.imgur.com/lue8uwv.pnghttps://i.imgur.com/hdxtIvQ.png

Overall, I'm happier with my Au Ra's update than I am my Lalafell's, but I do have a couple issues that I hope are addressed.

https://i.imgur.com/pa8RjFu.png

Positive, first: his horns look amazing (including the little ones that come with this hairstyle), I appreciate the smoother transition between the limbal rings and the iris, and I LOVE that I can get a darker color on his lips.

...but WOW, those lips are flat and dry! I'm sorely missing the shine on his bottom lip - it gave him a softer appearance that contrasted nicely with the rest of his angles, made him appear more lifelike. Also, like many others have pointed out, the sharp artifacts around the scales are a nuisance - optimistic those will get smoothed out, at least.

I am SO SO happy with the changes, it actually feels like I have a nose in most lighting conditions now instead of just some angles, I also like the 'dead' look from not having a catchlight
The mild skin shine makes it look more alive instead of playdough
I do wish they fixed the lips though, we need more shine

Thank you SE !

This is my first time ever posting on the forums. never wanted/cared to in the past, its not usually my thing.

but i had to come here to add my poor baby to the pile of failed 'upgraded' characters... i've been playing Solana for a long time. she's deeply personal to me, and i've never wanted to fantasia her even once- never even considered it.

she looks like an entirely different person, like someone made a bad doll or cosplay of her

https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca88...tXtlVjytGMWZG4
Heres a close up headshot of her in game right now...

https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca88...3kKWEiC9DhWvBA
and heres her benchmark,,

I literally have no words- who is this??
i also tried my best to edit her to return any hint of her personality and face shape at all, and the best i got was this
https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca88...5Pm9o-nzdVteZA

its still not her. and at this rate, it'll never be able to be her. i'm genuinely devastated.

I'm *mostly* Okay with the changes so far Ive seen to Au Ra. (Haven't played around too much.)
That said... Two things Ive noticed.

1) The Lips in Female Au Ra - Face 4 - Mouth 2 is very different in shape.
2) The Idle eyes are not staring at the same distance? She seems to be staring at something much further away. It kinda reminds me of a friend of mine who has a lazy eye. - In the benchmark it's self this wasn't noticeable though.

(Image link comparison because the forums don't support GifV apparently)

https://i.imgur.com/u0eUXqv.png

This is also something I never really thought about before but...
Are Au Ra scales not meant to be Reptilian? Looking at them now they look more like... Fish scales?
... Which kinda makes all the sense in the world given Face 2, and Tail 4 both looking Sea serpent esk, but I never thought of them that way.

Not much of a forum poster, apologies if my post is not formatted well!

I'm mostly happy with the way the horn and scale textures look, the biggest issue for me is the strange artifacting on the edges of some parts of face scales (mostly in my boy's nose bridge scales, though I've seen other face's face scales with the extras being pixelated this way)

Dawntrail benchmark on left, current game on right

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachmen...31d0d72204d1d& https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachmen...022524f731c11&

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachmen...42a03e9b28969&

Not sure if this is on other faces, but on face 4 there are slight inconsistencies with texture resolution (the cheek scales are noticeably blurrier compared to the chin), though it might just seem more jarring because the horn textures are much higher rez than the rest of it. Not too noticeable at a distance, but hoping they at least address the edge artifacting issues a lot of folks are also having.

I'm mostly fine with the changes. Pupils being larger does make some uncanny changes depending on your character though. Lip gloss being removed is kinda wack but I feel like they can possibly add that later on if they get enough feedback.

Still feels like my character looking at her go through the benchmark.

Before vs. After

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GLISmp-XgAAPOOK?format=png

Main things are the eyes and mouth. The iris is smaller, but the pupil much larger, and this just gives a very different vibe and feeling... the upper lid "eyeliner" option is also far less pronounced, which makes the eye shape itself also look a lot different. The combination of them all just looks so different, it feels silly but I have to admit I feel a little upset seeing it :(

With the mouth, on everyone's, it feels to me like a) the mouth shapes themselves are more homogenised between face types - my face 1 Au Ra almost looks like she has a face 2 mouth now, and I've seen face 2 Au Ra have lost the definition on theirs - Turethir's post above is a good example of this - and b) the no lip colour option has far harsher/darker colours. No lip colour mouths had a much softer colour and gradient before, but now it almost looks like my WoL is wearing lipstick. The combination of these two, like the eyes, gives a very different feeling. I could probably make peace with one or the other, but the combination...

Dude
What they have done to the only good face (1) for Fem Au Ra?
Those lips looks awful, like they turned off lighting - 100.

Issues I have with my FemRa:

• The lips are the biggest issue I have with the new update, I chose Lips 3 because they're the thinnest and most wide of FemRa Face 2 and now they look as narrow as the four other options. The lack of lip gloss is also definitely felt. :<
• The Scales are quite ivory. The horns are pretty much on point, but there is a white/gray highlight and coloring on the new scales that make them feel much colder. I don't dislike the new white ones, but I wish it was an option between white-ivory or white-beige!
• Quickly shifting between images, the eye shape looks like the exact same but there's a slight difference with the eye lashes where the 6.58 version were better defined (see the individual eyelash) whereas the benchmark version is faded and less defined which changes the look of her eyes just a tad.
• Not a huuuge fan of the new eyebrows, there's a weird darker line around the exterior of them instead of fading into the skin like normal eyebrows would look like.

https://lds-img.finalfantasyxiv.com/...9f7c66a535.jpg

Overall though, the lips are my biggest and most pressing issue, the lack of gloss, the different narrower shape makes me not recognize my character and I very much hope it will be addressed before DT comes out!

I do love the new hair textures and horns, those look amazing, and I'm sure the eyes will look even better during cutscenes and places where we can properly see the catchlights. Can't wait to be able to see my FemRa in action! :3

Coming back to this, and male face 4 has...floating scales.
https://64.media.tumblr.com/b6f4b104...c42cab74b7.pnj

I know they did anyways + so do other male faces, but this is especially egregious.

I had to do a breakdown of what's going on with your character's lips because it's just so COMPLETELY different that it boggles my mind how many alterations they let slip through.
https://i.imgur.com/Hhik74s.png

And here's an edit of what it should look like
https://i.imgur.com/wOCZoyN.png
https://i.gyazo.com/9ec35c17b65ea76c...8c170021c5.gif

I'm so happy to see my other dark skin Au Ra's speaking up (All of your characters look beautiful). They definitely need to at minimum fix the issue with the scales. Things like this should be tested.

Face 4 female au ra looks like they have something sour in their mouth, probably switching to face 1

yeah I'm not sure what the issue is, given that yeah, Xaela Au Ra 4 has this right now in the current game. https://media.discordapp.net/attachm...ality=lossless

Hi All,

Figured I'd also chime in. I'm not totally unhappy, but the cutscenes look a bit off due to how dilated the pupils are. I believe this is an issue for most females in the benchmark. I hope this can be corrected or put as an option (similar to iris size we could have a pupil size)

This is regarding Face 1 for Female Au ra.

The quick and dirty is:

• Pupils are way more dilated (larger) and results in a "dead" eyes look in cutscenes depending on iris colour. This is probably the most striking issue.
• The colours of the umbral rings are more washed out leading to changes in an attempt to make them more accurate to the EW model. (The eye "glint"/shine is "quiter" now too.)
• The mouth corners seems to have been lost which lends to a more neutral face compared to before. Overall lip gloss is gone and the mouths have been "normalised". This seems to be more egregious with the other female aura faces.
• The eyeliner/eye lashes are not as dark/less thick than before (not as pronounced and so altering the look)).

Here are some pictures (Right click and open in new tab for zooming in/greater quality):

(From Left to Right)
Picture 1: Normal EW Face
Picture 2: DT Import of EW Face
Picture 3: DT Import with umbral ring made lighter
Picture 4: DT Import with umbral ring AND iris made lighter.

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GLK2DhnW...pg&name=medium

I agree with everyone saying the changes to lip shape, loss of the dark line and loss of the mouth corners really changes the feel of my character in a way I do not like. The new lips almost look painted on like a barbie doll.

I also am sad about how the cheeks look much less round and the tip of the nose has become much sharper and less downturned/round-feeling.

The eye makeup has also changed significantly - more opaque and no more wing to the eyeliner, which is a HUGE change in vibe. I hope at least some of these things can be adjusted.

Thank you so much for starting this thread!! I hope it's alright if I post an issue I found:

Not sure if it's the same for all faces but for my face 4 M Au Ra his original eye colour is now barely visible, being covered by the limbal rings + the baked shading now implemented in the iris, which makes his eyes completely dark at certain points.

He has the lightest turquoise eye colour which doesn't show that well with the new graphics.

Thank you for the whole breakdown! You hit it right on the nail with your comments and edits. :') If I could have something that looks like your edited version, I'd be pretty dang happy overall but right now I'm rather afraid of those new lips. T_T It's just *so* entirely different from what we currently have ingame and makes my character feel pretty alien. Here's hoping for some tweaks and changes before Dawntrail hits. ;w;

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachmen...a29566fdbf02c&

http://https://cdn.discordapp.com/at...e01a1de7be1f0&
Agreed. Raen scales look terrible on females; less like scales and more like painted or stuck on plates.

I'm going to chime in to say that I also would like my old lip textures back please.

This is her currently:

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GLLFcPRb...jpg&name=large

Notice the shine on her lips and how her upper lip appears to be slightly thinner than her bottom lip. There is also a small dip and some nice "lip" type textures there.

This is her in the benchmark:

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GLLFcPPa...pg&name=medium

Her lips are really flat and no longer shiny. Her hair also looks pretty flat, which is kind of out of place given the shine on her skin in certain lighting. I don't like these two things, but I'm not going to cry over it because she still looks really good!

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GLKm2lVb...jpg&name=large

I did also have to adjust her limbal ring by scooting it to the left a few squares on the color selector so that it showed up again the way I wanted it to. But, that's not a big deal.

I do feel like the concerns expressed in this thread are valid concerns, and I see where people are coming from with regards to the scales. SE has never really explained to us what the scales are made out of, so perhaps they had some idea behind these changes that they haven't explained very well and that's why they look the way that they do. I hope SE takes this feedback into consideration and makes adjustments in the future (like, within the next year. Not the next 10 years please lol).

This! The scale really looks weird as if they had never been washed since they were born.

With everyone upset, I was worried I got the short end of the stick as well...

I seem to have gotten the opposite problem with people: She looks more alive and happy than her 6.58 look! (This is GOOD for me, btw.)
6.58
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GLLau32X...pg&name=medium
7.0
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GLLau32X...pg&name=medium

Granted, I DID have to make some small changes (swapped the eyes and lips cause the ones she currently had looked weird, but that doesn't seem like a big problem for me considering we're getting a free fantasia.

To the people here who are genuinely upset, I advise you try editing your blorbo a bit and see if that fixes some of your issues.

I really prefer the original lip appearance, the setting is the same yet the difference looks so strong. Also tried out Mouth 3 instead of 1 today to see if it would thin the lips a bit more and it just didn't give the same feel (not pictured here)

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachmen...8b50bfa03d40a&

Took a side view picture to compare the shape of the mouth/nose. The lips look more puckered up in the new version.

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachmen...bc8251e379fb3&

Another note: I've been looking at my character a lot and I've noticed that the eyes look really off? I considered myself a part of that "dead stare" Au Ra fanbase, but it feels like the version of that stare I liked has been replaced with a truly unappealing soulless eye look.

EDIT: Horns not connected to the scales? Oh that's very strange...

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachmen...70463ac0475ab&

More of a personal addendum but also got lots of anxiety regarding the new mouth rig, I am attached to the weirdness of the /fakegrin emote on this race.

Hello 14 devs, thank you for your work in all of this!

Add me to the list of people who are finding the change in my character's lip shape (not color, I know that can be adjusted very easily) to be really off from the original. Others in this thread have already pointed out the whys, so I'll just attach a screenshot and add my name to the pile.

So as an Au Ra haver, I really do enjoy graphics update. The increased poly count looks great and I enjoy it a lot and really love how nice he looks in the benchmark. Also messing with the Gamma filter helped to restore how I usually see my Au Ra and it’s been lovely for myself.

My only true issue that I would like to see be addressed is the coloring of the neck scales on male Raen. (I’m sorry, I don’t really know how to insert images from mobile phone here.)

The way the neck scales look now looks as though the contrast between the lighter tone of the scale surface compared with the darker color used to define them feels very drastic and most noticeable on the neck. It’s something I wound up noticing far more and feels more distracting to me. It felt as though it was a sticker placed on top of the neck rather than something that feels like “natural scales” that are part of my character as I usually see it in the current version of him.

A way that I think could help to balance and address that is by decreasing the saturation of the darker color to help it blend more seamlessly with the lighter scale color, if that makes sense? Again, I apologize that I’m not able to add in images at this time to help visualize my point better but I hope it’s understood what I’m trying to say.

I do also want to say that I appreciate the updated look and I am pleased with everything else. I genuinely was happy and excited seeing him in the benchmark trailer and found the lighting in trailer to be a better representation of how I would see him in game than what is represented in the character creator. (I know that others may not feel that way and I understand as well.) But I do appreciate the time the team has taken to make these changes for the game going forward and I hope you’ll also be willing to take my feedback into consideration for future fixes. Thank you!

Aside from the lips and eyes, which everyone points out, I'm referring specifically to the scales and horns, which are what got me playing Aura.

1) The scales are noticeably thinner than before (both in shape and thickness) and seem to stick to the skin. At first glance, they may look more detailed than before, but they just look flat, like a tattoo or sticker of scales, especially the nose and neck scales.

2. As the resolution increases, the texture of the horns becomes flattened.
All the curves and contours of the horns are reduced, and the reflections are reduced, giving it an unpleasant resin figure texture, or a sanded look. This is even more pronounced when you look at the back of the horns.
The roughness of the horns was the reason I played Aura in the first place, so it would be disappointing to see this texture representation significantly downgraded.

3. Different scales have different resolutions for different face types. Especially for the male Au Ra's, the difference between the scales on face 3 and face 1 is noticeable.
Could it be that the data for Face 1 has been processed more for promotional images? This also happens with the male Viera race.


Overall, the horns and scales look downgraded because the textures have been sharpened, but they are too thin. Could you maybe increase the thickness a bit more like before or add some reflections to the horns like before?

This is funny to me because one of the big complaints when they initially showed Au Ra with these changes was that the limbal ring was too subtle.

but personally its intended effect looks virtually the same to me, at least with my character. compare,

https://media.discordapp.net/attachm...ality=lossless
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachmen...b9a958728deac&

The eye texture itself is better but I think the ratio of iris-to-glow is nearly the same, just with the transition made fuzzier so it actually blends in.
