EU Graphical Update Feedback - Hands and Feet

[Yencat]

Yeah I wouldn't expect individual toes or completely rounded heels or anything like that either, but hopefully they can keep making small improvements like with the Isle Loop Sandals and maybe someday we'll be somewhere halfway decent.

It's going to look... interesting, if a character raises their hand up to their now-HD face. I hope they do update it eventually, even though it is true that they'd have to update the meshes of all the glove and shoe items that show skin in the game. It would be worth it... Hire on a new temp team to do it at least lol.

In my opinion if they can do this for a boss they can do it for us. They even dyed her nails. So we know they know how to make proper molds. As far as the polygon count increase, yeah it would be there, but I don't think the performance impact would be out of this world, if anything they can reduce the amount of characters visible on screen by one or 2 to compensate if memory is that tight, which I don't think it would be.

All in all, I think it is more than possible.

It's not only hands and feet that need work, it's the full body, if you haven't yet just look at the elbows, knees and thighs, the low polygon models make them really ugly.


Mr. Yoshida should take a look at Black Desert Online character models and see if they can make them just as good if not better, with the graphics update it's the perfect time to beautify all the races in-game, specially females whom need much more details.

Make 'em rounder than a lalafell's chin, Yoshi!

I'm gonna be the unsung hero of this thread and also advocate for male nipples, as well as updated hands (god the hands, they do so many close up shots of hands, WHY DO THEY LOOK LIKE THAT) and feet. It's so odd looking to have a shirtless glam where you just have nothing there. It almost makes me wish i had a bra instead.

I think they just ripped her model from Dissidia

Basically, hands, butt, feet, and anything that requires spherical shading to a degree on the body took a hit going from 1.0 to 2.0. Honestly, I think the feet are worse than the hands but not by much.

BDO has the doll face problem. However, they do have much better hands and feet.

As a matter of fact, I have a stock picture of a Miqo from 1.0

here it is:

Oh yeah, like the graphics update is going one step up after going two or three steps back with the 1.0 to 2.0 move.
