the hightlight dot made a WORLD of difference and I want it back



This is someone elses beautiful character that i added the highlight dot back into on the bottom image using paint and to me its night and day . Both images are 7.0 moon miqote

Not a fan. The more I look at it the less I like it. I don't really notice any improvements really. It just looks different, not better.

The eyebrows look basically non-existent and it might be my imagination but does the neck look thicker? I can't tell if it's just the lighting but something definitely looks weird there.

forgot to add my comparison picture whoops



Im feeling eeeehh. The lack of eye shine is bugging me, and his lip corners feel less upturned which makes him look less...happy? playful?



these lips....

For fun, I had my husband judge the side-by-side pictures of my characters. He doesn't play the game at all and so he had no reference for how the game currently looks.

Out of the 4 characters I showed him, he picked the current graphics every single time. :X

I approve.

I've been with my female Au Ra since just after HW release. I fantasia'd straight into her the moment I got the free fantasia from reaching HW. That was 8 years ago and I never looked back, loved her to bits, didn't change a thing minus hairstyle through aesthetician.

Unfortunately, she lost that... special thing. No longer as confident, no more of that soul piercing gaze, just a soulless doll like generic thing now. Seems that with 7.0, I will be forced to switch.

Seen some valid complaints here for their character. but i do like mine though she is not perfectly like the old one but a step in the right direction




Like i say not perfect like it should be the same lip color but it's not also the eyes are little bigger in the update, but hey we have fingernails now

I'm sorry you're not happy with her, I think the new one looks beautiful, but you're right, it seems she lost a bit of the intensity in her gaze, and it was replaced with a more elegant, stoic look, which depending on what you like can work, but yea, it is subtly different.

Do characters have self-glow activated?. It's like they placed a lamp in front of the camera which causes the characters to look flat, as if they were cartoons or anime.
