I do think the overall package in Dawntrail is superior to Endwalker and earlier, but it doesn't matter when you had a very specific look that just isn't possible anymore.

They already said, that the minimum and recommened requirements will not change. So i do not believe, that there will be noticable graphical improvements.




Cheers

I know it's unlikely that anything will be changed at this point, but they did make some minor changes for 7.5, so I can't fully give up hope. I would just like to take a moment to lament the m elezen mouth. I use mouth 3, and the curves are very different from how they were (not sure about 3/4, but face 1 has this problem too).

I think the makeup diffuse on m elezen face 102, the upper lip looks very pointy compared to the endwalker version. And the lower lip is a bit thinner and wider, but I don't think that one is a texture issue. It's very noticeable when he smiles, like in the third set of images, so I think it's probably due to the bone placement/animation.

I also don't like that the shape of the eyes (eye option 3) is subtly different (the inner corner/upper lid particularly), changing his vibe completely.

6.0 vs 7.5:

Anyway, I wish I had known where to find the old Endwalker benchmark back when DT released, maybe this post might've made a difference then. Alas.

This was the tragic state of my character in 7.0:

And here on the left is the 7.0 version with a new eye color and lip color. They looked so different I just had to change them. On the right is the current 7.5 version.

Noticeable changes made here! Once again I reiterate that we would like much more open communication from the team regarding these fixes.
