Even 4 months is a very short amount of time to gather feedback, filter through it, send it to the dev team, and have the dev team act on it, especially when they already have lots of other things on their plate, especially when they're so close to the release date. It will probably be too late by then to address such things, which is why it's important that people raise their concerns early on so there's a bigger chance of improvements being implemented.




Out of curiosity, do you have screenshots of that character before and after ARR? I'm interested to see how the model has changed.

Heya yes I do I have a lot on my old PC I play PS5 now though. I have so many I was a screenshot addict lol. I do not have access to get them on here but there are a lot of vids and screens of players from 1.0. If I can somehow in the future get them on I would happily post them up ^O^

Are any of you ever truly happy? Square Enix put a lot of work into this graphical update. It drained an enormous amount of resources and all I have yet to see on these forums is angry complaints about the previews. This must be absolutely demoralizing for the developers to see.

Ngl not caring too much on the graphic updates with characters. Now if/when they decide to add more options with character creation, that'll get my attention, but for now Im looking forward to the detailed environments more. Cant wait to see wait to see what they do with the older zone in later patches.

The game seemed to go more cartoon like and the races especially Miqo'te have become very dated looking to me. I think so far they look better than what we have, a lot of players will not like what they see I am sure and maybe they will feel how I did when I logged in and saw my character did not port very well.

They may give a free fantasia (they have in the past) I think is great the game will look nicer but can understand people feeling a little unsure on how it will affect their character. I am sure we will have a new benchmark to give players a chance to have a play around.

mmmm, it's sometimes easy to forget that characters haven't always looked as they do now. That at some point we were experiencing this "growing pain" if I can call it that and it was jarring to see changes to characters because of improvements. But we just get used to it over time eventually. I don't disagree with calling the look dated at all. Or that the game as a whole character changes included will look much nicer and more detailed. I'm sure I am just one of the many that is feeling that concern of *to what degree will my WoL feel different* (Thanks for chiming in- I would also be super curious to see any screenshots you have from before and after ARR)

If the goal is to minimize the visual shock of the update, which is precisely what they have stated, seeing these complaints now makes it way easier to pivot than seeing them later when everything is locked down.

I don't have an opinion on this particular one, but I think it's silly to say that, when the stated goal of an update is to keep visual identity, that people shouldn't bring up issues they have with it as early as possible.

its going to be different in addition to the increased res on the textures, they are readding shaders they removed from the game during the transition to 2.0. This isn't the final product. I like what they have shown so far.

the Iris could be a tad slimmer but I do think some people are just nitpicking and will just have to get use to the subtle change
