Please fix some of the textures :( Read before posting!

I've been messing around in character creation and noticed some of the textures of certain face types are really .. off-putting.

I highly doubt this has anything to do with graphic limitations as this only happens with certain faces. Other faces are perfectly fine.

I am unable to post screenshots at the moment but if you take a look at certain faces (female I have personally noticed) you will see what I'm talking about. The lips are particularly noticeable on some, but it's not just the lips. Some skin and eye textures are also not so good.

This isn't high priority, just something I'd like to see improved in the future if possible! I will edit with some screenshots if I can find any from other players as I'm unable to do so myself.

Thank you for reading.

My problem with the lips is the gloss effect. I want try to applied on my roe because the lips kinda dark, but the gloss effect makes my roe looks... weird (or fabulous, idk). If only they put some toogle to make it has gloss effect or not, it would be nice.

All the lipstick and make up looks unsightly in this game imo.

It's not just the makeup, the lips themselves have a really bad outline on them, some of them are very pixel-y. The same for some skin textures.

I think some of the textures need a little update, my tail for example isn't a HUGE graphics issue but I think it should be updated to look a little less like a tube with fur-textures attached. >_<

I'm not seeing any problems, they all look good.

Yep, this is the first thing I look before I choose my face style. Fortunately, lalafell lips are too smal to be able to notice this with more earthy-toned lipstick.

Tbh, that tail looks totally fine to me :o

I can see the problem with the lips (pixelated edges) but this is the first time I ever see something like this. Is it possible the person you got that screenshot from is just playing on low settings or something?
In general, the character models seem very high quality, sometimes painfully so...which brings me to my real gripe - overworld textures :mad:

As long as this is the overworld, it would actually look less jarring if our characters generally had low quality textures too..

The issue with the tail is from behind you can see it is shaped like a + symbol lol.

Male Au Ra suffer from this aswell.

Only in FFXIV would people get worked up about subligar, knee high socks, and .. lip graphics.

The most offensive thing I see in this picture is your butt. Moar cushion!

The whole thing needs an upgrade so our girls look nicer.

If you compare FF14 to some mainstream games like Sexy Beach Premium Resort it becomes clear how outdated the character graphic and the maker are.

I don't believe you can't see anything wrong with this. The lipstick isn't even covering the lips.

I made this thread before I even found the screenshot and later edited the screenshot in, so I noticed this myself on PS4 with high settings. It may look worse on the image, but the textures are definitely not that great.

If my thread is what you describe as being 'worked up' I'd love to see what you call the angry rant threads. I even said this isn't of high priority.

Unless my character can gain weight in character creation I'd rather I had a normal sized ass. If you like ass go check out some of those singers with the butt implants / injections. :P

I can't believe people are still upset about Miqo'te having tighter asses. I'm with Lokier, nothing wrong with a little weight as long as it looks normal. A healthy feline IRL, domestic or wild, is super lean, anyway.

Anyway, ON TOPIC!
Look at Roegadame lips. They look a little unhealthy without lipstick as they have this odd, patchy and discolored texture. Really chapped! The pixelation on the edges looks better than without lipstick.

As for the tail, I feel the alternative to the + shape illusion of fur would require either a flat texture (would look worse or just like the short hair option) or add more individual hairs (too much to load/render.)

I'd just prefer it to be a bit "sleeker", like my head-hair. I just think it looks a bit out of place when all other hair textures are cleaner... :S

Here's an example from Skyrim....

Your character would have to have a butt first to call it normal lol I don't need Nicki Minaj running around, but you kitties are flat as a board.

Her ass looks fine to me tbh, I mean if you look at my tiny thighs I'm clearly an American blonde, not a black / hispanic woman. :P

You have to be the first player of a female catgirl I've seen on these forums to not only not complain about their ass size at the first chance, but also defend it.

Thats actually less of a texture thing and more of a model thing, that's how alpha cards work. Not much you can do about that, except rotating and moving some of the cards around or adding more of them. No matter what, you are going to see those cards crossing some where. (Cards Colliding with the Geometry for the tail, and + from the back)

/em points at beastmen moogle mount.

Crude example I whipped up for what you are seeing.

Surprised they don't have a gloss/shine slider tbh. I haven't looked at the character creator in a while.

I've seen a lot of people complain about the body shape and I still fail to see anything wrong with it... Not all women are curvy and, as a curvy person, I defend the sight of boy-shaped girls... There's nothing wrong with her not being hour glass shaped like me, or apple / pear shaped like other women. >_< Some girls are just straight up and down, if someone wants a larger woman go roll a female Roe or something. >_>

I mean, anatomically, the only issue may be the height of my Miqo'te's bum, it does seem a little shorter than it should be, but width wise I don't see too much wrong with it. Honestly SE should have given us ass and body options if they were going to allow us to choose breast size.

EDIT:

So I decided to have a look at my Miqo'te and, again, the ass isn't the issue;

http://i1222.photobucket.com/albums/...rit/origin.png http://i1222.photobucket.com/albums/...016_235144.png

If anything; the back needs to either be un-bent, so I'm not pelvic thrusting into the air, or my torso needs thickened slightly, I look a bit under-weight.
And, like before, the ass isn't the issue so much as my thighs being too thick to be anatomically correct, they need slightly thinned to make up for the over all flat, stream-line body shape.
