Benchmark/Graphics Update - Show your WoL's before and after

[ShiroLialeth]

I already posted a lot about my M Miqo on the forum but I wanted to say something about my F Miqo as well:
I really like her updated version, it looks more like how I imagined her and I'm looking forward to seeing her like this in DT
Benchmark / 6.0


I only wish they'd give us more realistic freckles

All the face paint is super low res still so I'm hoping they just have that as a thing to fix towards the end.

Hello!

First of all: I'm grateful for the effort the developers put into upgrading graphics for the game, the higher resolution, the grass moving, the metallic gold etc look amazing! Thank you!. But I believe bad choices were made for player characters. I will try to give feedback to help hopefully.

I don't ask to be changed ASAP or Dawntrail should be delayed, I just hope it can be adressed in a most agreeable way for all us who are unhappy.

1-Eyebrows are bigger and dark. I liked them small and blue.
2-Beauty mark like a small dot. It looks less realistic which doesn't make sense with the new skin texture. I liked her big egg-shaped blended beauty mark.
3-she had shiny lips and a cute smile. Now the mouth is neutral looking and matte.
4-the new skin shine looks like a silicone doll. It feels odd, but I could get used to it.
5-Nose is wider. I liked the small nose.

1. Hair looks stiff and fake, it also changed color. Personally, I liked the softness of the previous hair, even if it's a lower resolution.
2. Eyes look dead.
3. Lips are changed in shape and color, I liked the gradation of my character lips and I don't want PINK lips for her
4. Jaw and chin are rounder. I chose Face 2 because it was more masculine shaped.
5. Scar looks orange! unnatural.

I'm very very upset with this one...

1. Hair looks fake and also highlights are changed in color and shape. I don't like it.
2. Eyes look dead. this looks the same running the Benchmark trailer and moving camera. They look flat. Like if my character that had bright yellow gems, now has paper stickers on her face.
3. Eyebrows now thinner and neutral, facial expression changed.
4. Mouth changed too much. She used to smile and have upper lips and shine.

She got the worse, it makes me sad, upset and dissapointed.



Elezen

I love her as is!

On a more positive note... my elezen didn't have much of a facial expression from the start, so I'm happy...(lol). I love the ears being translucent.
Only... what's with this mouth shape when screaming??



Final notes

-I feel there is a try to be more realistic, despite they said they wouldn't go realistic and characters would remain as similar as before. I feel betrayed on this.

-Eyes look dead, I understand they have a real-time reflection now, but it failed. If can't be fixed, I think they should be back to the fake eye lights.
Or be optional.

-A lot of faces have changed in shape, nose, eyes, chin, lips... this should be optional. Some faces didn't change that much so I don't think this is about polygons, looks like an artistic choice.

-Female faces have been forcibly added extra make up

Thank you for reading until the end!
