Today PLL showed the progress being made on Benchmark and 7.0 graphics adjustments. I LOVE the longer fangs on the far right-- thank you, FFXIV team for listening to us!

Since Yoshi P. said they were looking for feedback on this, I'd appreciate hearing everyone's thoughts on this.

As I said, I love the work in progress teeth-- not only are they longer, but they appear to be sitting straighter in the mouth, making them just look much better overall, in my opinion

Much better! Wouldn't mind if they were a bit longer though! Overall a improvement!

honestly the WIP looks like an upgrade from what we have now...no more uncanny dark lines between teeth

Moon face 1 & 2 still seem to have missing nostril textures (which was a confirmed bug that hasn't been fixed yet- years later.) (face on right is moon face 1)

But fangs, yes- great happy they're improved.

Definitely a lot better! I wish they'd used the same face and hair combination for the female pictures (esp with the differences in the face markings), but to the point of fangs specifically, I'm pleased with the newest length and shape.

I like the new length and shape, though i would like it a bit longer overall. my main worry is I want mouth 4 fangs to be longer.

The wording of the "face type 1 and 3 to match the current version" is very confusing. Are face 2 and 4 going to be stuck with the blunt fangs no matter what mouth they use? Why? I don't know a single Keeper of the Moon player who wants the shorter fangs.

I believe they said face 4 specifically has shorter fangs because of the shape of the mouth-- longer fangs wouldn't fit. Which is disappointing, but there is a reason, at least

That explanation doesn't make sense. The faces and mouths aren't _that_ differently shaped, from each other or from their current models. Also, when the mouth is open and the fangs are visible, they don't have to "fit" anywhere, and when the mouth is closed the only thing they protrude on are the lower teeth, but that wouldn't be visible.

Does f4 currently have fangs that are longer than the stubbed ones? Cause if so yea that explanation they gave doesn't make sense to me either.

I think (haven't checked myself, but other players have said) that current Face 4 does have shorter fangs than the other current faces. Here's a mention in the first post of the big Keeper Fangs Benchmark thread:

Please bring them back!

I think the male Miqo'te canines could still be a little longer, but the one marked "in progress" is definitely an improvement!
Also would be cool if the lower canines could be a little more prominent, though perhaps not as much as the upper ones.
