7.0 F Miqo'te face 4 feedback

Hello! It's my first time posting on the forums so I hope this is the correct place and format for this.
I love most of the improvements and changes that came with the update and my main WoL looks fantastic. However, one of my characters is a female miqo'te with faceplate 4 and I feel like the update has changed the look and feel of the face completely. I use the faceplate for her because she's meant to be a bit more androgynous and it makes her look a bit more rugged with smaller lashes etc. but for some reason they ramped up the lash thickness and soft features to 1000% and there's no way to change that. Overall the faceplates now look even more samey with each other. :( Comparison:

See what I mean? I think even just having the option to toggle off the mega mascara would help a ton. It's a very jarring change.

I'm face four but sun seeker.

That lip color always looked weird in certain lights, I'm glad they changed that and added some texture to the lips. I'll probably go for a lighter now.
Things I don't like:
The eye lashes are thicker and less naturally random.
Eyebrows are less bushy, looks like they were trimmed
Face stripes and nose are washed out.
Lip gap is closed.

I don't like that she looks like a plastic doll and her pupils are now perfect diamonds instead of looking a little "pinched" which was much more natural looking.

Approving your good taste for eyebrows.

All the models are starting to look more... childlike.

It's weird.

Just like how there are grown up people who look like teenagers.
Softer facial features tend to make one look younger.

Her eyes kinda look like they'd stare into my soul. Why does everyone look kind of angrier too?

:(The mouth the slight gap showing the teeth is Removed this is a nightmare! I use face 4 but play on ps5 was really worried about this feature being removed

i was so worried wed lose our dusty nose that i didnt even realize my mouth gap was gone it was so so cute

I love how my miqo looks; she uses face 4 but I didn't even notice the tiny mouth gap was missing- I did notice the fangs were shortened; Why they'd shorten them doesn't make sense, please give them longer fangs.
Give us back cute tiny mouth gap & fangs! Otherwise the face is lovely.

Another example I saw on Twitter. How are these supposed to be the same eyes in any way?? There's a reason why I chose the face for a very specific vibe and the added makeup and smoothened eyebags completely ruin that.

Another less noticable thing is the slightly dark line that I noticed on my suncats nose (tip of the nose). It's visible when the camera is zoomed in

Hi, wanted to share my post of before and after pictures from this other thread about female Miqo'te of face 4!

https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/...=1#post6440223

As a Miqote face 4 myself I can't say I'm THAT disappointed with the results, because mine doesn't looke that far away from what she was BUT I do see the lashes being more intense, and I think they should be toggleable (I personally like them), and I also would love to have the gap in the mouth back please. Also the small dark tone in the nose should adapt to the skin tone, like in mine is good and natural as is more pinkish, but in other OC with more greyish skintone etc should be more grey, it just makes sense.
Also, the eyebrows are too thick for my taste, they were less bushy before.

i like the increased lash intensity, but they lost their shape and that makes me sad. Now they're just a plain fan out. small complaint from me, though.

I'm disappointed in my WoL's look after the update. The issues for me are:

1. Missing Fangs
2. Eye changes
3. Missing lip gap
4. Muddy nose coloring
5. Bloated face shape
6. Blurred eye bags
7. Lashes too thick - hides eye makeup
