[Graphics update feedback] Regarding Raen scale color

Hello, this is my first post in the forum. But wanted to add my own feedback on the graphics update.

My issue with it is how in the update reveal, the tone of the scales are now an paler white color, compared to the original which had a cream yellow one. I'm hoping this can be reverted and have the original tone back.
Specially because you can see that under her neck, her scales still have the original tone, and it's only pale in her face.

Theoretically they were always supposed to be very white (it says as much if you read the text blurb) but I agree at this point in the game. Changing it is a weird call when they're going on about trying to keep stuff looking the same.

As far as the color on the body goes, I'm sure they'll make it match regardless of what they change in the final version.

I mean, the yellow cream color can still be described as "white", but it's weird how male Raen have full yellow scales and then the female counterpart looses all the yellow tint of theirs. I know Au ra's don't share the same colors across genders (Xaela for example have males being black, while fems have purplish blue) but i def like the original tone of the scales.

On an added note, the scales were correctly colored in the previous showcase of the graphics update, so this might've been an oversight when they fixed the way light reflected on scales.

First it's the limbal rings, now it's the scale colors. Are you people ever truly happy? I know the answer well considering many of you are merely looking for complaints to lodge against Square Enix despite all their hard work.

Ima be honest with you here, not only does your character but your account seem to be only made with specific intents.

How would someone who spent such a short time in the game to know or tell what other players want in the game be able to do so accurately without the intent being suspicious.

You don't seem to be genuine or are here under conflict directed reasons.

also it's foolish to connect two threads to each other for reasons that aren't the same groups together.

People of one character can like separate things.

The fact feedback is given to the devs while it's being worked on and in time for them to make changes is a boon to them.

Rather than have to scrap entire works that would be taken in negative light.

The real question, is Are you truly happy coming in here telling others what they can or can't give feedback on.

You're not giving any feed back to the devs, your only specifically targeting other users without giving the devs options to appease other groups and theirs.

Which is why I bring up the dodgyness of the account.

Sorry I disagree. New scales look great and more realistic.

Ehhhh what. You want the YELLOW color back???? White/grey is soo much better. I TRULY hope they do this on xaela too. More grey/black instead of blue.

I'm not trying to be mean, but to be competently blunt imho: Current/OG scales look like Play-Doh mush that's super-glued to the skin.

OG scales aren't interacting with light. Skin (or scales in this case) absorb, bounce and scatter light, and that's what's going on here, on top of a much higher quality mesh and texture. These scales are actually interacting with light, and look beautiful.

Don't get me wrong, if you like the mushy scales and bland color that's fine, but I honestly can't understand how anyone would wanna keep the old scales. They're one of the first things people mod in Au Ra characters.

The change is very subtle. It doesn't seem like they intended it be to two different colors, rather "fleshing out" what's already there. Regardless, I think it'd be very nice if we got color options... It would probably be a thing in the future after they've finished adding jobs, but I'd love the option to choose between this yellow and that pearl, and the option to get the male xaela's black on female, and the female xaela's blue-black on male.

I don't have a problem with the color, but the new scales in the middle of her head look like an upscaled jpg.

To be honest, I think the new colour is much better than the old one. It's more neutral and will better suit a variety of different hair/ skin colour combinations. As it stands, the current colour clashes with cooler tones and can make some characters look pretty washed out at times.

Or, you know, make a tone picker for the scales so everyone gets what they want?

White Knight Miqo'not-an-AuRa says what?

This just looks pasted on and not a natural part of her face. I hope it's not done.

Well you can always unsub from Yoshida game if you aren't happy about the game direction, as many people says here.
