Can we please have the new Elezen face and hairstyle that is for Chinese players?

I just saw that the mobile version will give their players new faces, look at the Elezen, if this face was in the game, Elezen would be so popular.

image turned tiny, maybe someone can fix this? Soo sorry

The Elezen face is hot AF. I was like holy cow!

They probably aren't allowed to use these assets since they were developed by another company. When they wrote out the rights to using FFXIV as a mobile title they should have wrote in the contract that they can take any assets and use them here, but seems like they didn't from the looks of it otherwise we'd be getting all this stuff.

I might be wrong, but that elezen face actually kinda looks like a prettied-up version of the more boyish elezen male face that currently exists. It's also making it look better since the head is downturned with eyes looking up at us and not a flat head-on view like we normally see in the character select screen.
But yeah SE should absolutely take notes from the mobile in regards to the face meshes/design... they appear to have done a much better job overall upscaling from EW-era faces, and still kept a lot of the mouth shapes that so many of us were pissed about losing in DT.

Damn, finally a good looking mullet cut... but only to the mobile. :(

Isn't that Elezen face 3? It's just the engine making it look good plus the hair.

I think that face has just been done up a little I am not 100 percent as never played as Elezen. I am just sat laughing at the cat girls hair wtf is that? loool

huh? That's not a female elezen? lol

It is a male I have never played a male character never really looked at the male Elezen faces either. Who said it was a female? I didn't see that lol

Look at those hairstyles we're:

A. Never getting
or
B. Getting a backported, worse-looking version of with 80% less polygons (and a forehead peek in the Miqo'te's case since CBU3 loves their foreheads)

Any new aesthetic from the Chinese version will end up being a cash shop item as SE does not own the rights those items. The only way to bring them to the main game is to make them paid so the creators in China will have a financial incentive to release them. Even though SE owns the game, there are clauses that anything that the Chinese team creates is theirs and SE will have to pay them to bring them over.

Why do the graphics look so much better?

Lightspeed did a lot of things from scratch using the ARR-EW models as references, and there was a section on the JP and CN versions of the announcement site that talked about that (it was absent on the English site for some reason). Most of the visual updates that CS3 did for the "real" game look like they just used an upscaling or sharpening tool.

It looks like face 3 with all the sharp options like eyes 3, at an angle instead of looking directly at you. And a different hair.

They're getting new FACES!? That's a bit too much when we can't even get a good stable connection.

Would this include the dyeable board mount that war released only in the mobile version? I wanted that mount so badly ever since I saw it...

Definitely chinese visuals - Making the faces look very porcelain/flawless-like and with common hairstyles seen in chinese fantasy games/mmo's.

Prime forehead kiss real estate right there.


No seriously, I thought those faces are just the ones we have when I saw them, but yassified due to their graphics engine? They don't look too different to me besides cleaner, shinier textures. The male elezen is just not looking straight at the camera, which makes his features look different?
I like their art direction more than what DT went with (matte, rubber-like skin is not a great look, but oh well) but the hairstyles are nothing to write home about for me, just not my style.

Most likely they won't be able to use any of the assets developed by them unless they negotiate it, which probably won't happen. I could be wrong though, none of us really know what the contract with the mobile version says, so this is all just assumption.

in regards to the male hair i Really feel like its just an altered version of the omega M hair

Not the exact same, but they just announced new cash shop hairstyles and the male looks identical to the one Chinese are getting.
