oooh, my turn to butt in!
like everyone else, the artifacting is really atrocious on darker skin tones. in fact, the quality of the scales on the body are just... really out of place? especially in comparison to the face/horns:




I remember them saying during the live, that they weren't going to change any models or stuff but they have definitely changed lip and nose models. a lot of the lips have lost that little dip in the middle, and are a completely straight line.
my partner's Raen is definitely suffering from it.


on lower graphics settings, too, the skin texture kinda looks like hotpressed water color paper

also this is me personally, but i feel like they've sucked a lot of the red undertones out of the skintones, it feels horrific in the chara creator

i really like some of the changes, and i really want to like this update overall! i just dont like that theyre changing so much when they said it'd just be a texture/shader update. i'd like my characters to be recognizable from their 6.5x state to 7.x
