- The eyes are the most obvious difference, personally I think they look better in the after but that's entirely subjective.
- New maps makes the light hit the face differently casting a different shadow across the entire jaw making the chin look slightly shorter even though it's not, so the entire face looks rounder from this particular angle.
- I see no drastic change in the lips, cleaner lines and slightly more glossy perhaps.
- The hair colour looking slightly different is already a "problem" between the older and more recently released hairstyles. If anything this should make colour show more uniformly across all of them rather than suddenly turning drastically brighter or darker depending on when the hairstyle was released.

Obviously me saying that maybe they should just call the whole thing off is tongue in cheek, but maybe we're taking the "we don't want to change your character" statement a bit too literally in this case. There will obviously be some changes, if they truly wanted no changes there would be no point to any of this and they would just leave them alone completely.

In a perfect world every piece of feedback or complaint would turn into another option and we'd get sliders for this and toggles for that, but the reality of this game is that if they get enough feedback about something it often gets changed completely. In some cases that's fine and in some it's kind of a bummer so I'm just providing some counter criticism. For example, there are people that enjoyed the glassier look they gave the Au Ra horns but as far as we know that's completely scrapped now.
You aren't wrong, they eyes do look *better* so does the quality of shadows and the way the hair texture is rendered. This update will hopefully help the disparity in color between different hairstyles looking so different. It all looks better. But these changes however small do affect the overall look and expression of characters. I would love if this feedback to square yielded sliders and just more options for customization. Not just a scrap of the change as a whole.. But this would only be in a perfect world.
