Okay I actually did a side by side and my upper eye shape is different, my lips look bad, and my face looks like its inflating. Watching the actual benchmark, I didn't notice any of this so maybe I'll feel fine when its in game, but I really hope they fix the changes to more accurately reflect how our characters looked.


EDIT: the "inflating face" was just different FoV due to zoom levels, my bad

All things considered I think my Lala was the least scathed by the updates. She's a little bit more tan (which is BIZAAR CAUSE MY OTHER CHARACTERS GOT LIGHTER?) her smudge is intact (Unlike all my Hellsguards). Her eyebrows are darker now... and her already tiny lips are... GONE? They snatched her lips!!!

From what I've seen of the new Lalafell teeth too... I'm scared.

I hope they'll address the issues for the faces missing details for ya'll.

I'm honestly on the fence on if my main will be a Lalafell come DT- which hurts because I adore that little gremlin. I've made all of my glams and portraits, and house around the world as she sees it.

Her lip shape is gone, the new lalafell dolphin teeth are unsettling, eyelashes and eyeshapes seem to have been altered- there was a personality that was there but in the benchmark, is gone. It sounds stupid, but that's not the same lalafell in the benchmark. I look at my characters face all of the time so the changes to me are just changes and nerfs to uniqueness.
While I could just make her look different as a lala, it's noticeable the lack of differences between mouths and eye shapes.

Honestly, if at the least the dev team just updates the lip shapes to resemble an actual cleaned up version of the original, I'll take that as a win.

Popoto looks like popoto to me. I'm not seeing any problems with the nose smudge

Too adorable

Before & after:



Couple people have already pointed it out in this thread, but since this is important to me I'm going to repeat what others have said in hopes they will hear us.

The upper lip is practically gone in the after... Furthermore the lip color goes on very sharp and unnatural looking whereas it was more blended before.
The eyes also seem to have lost their mischievousness, they appear rounder and brighter now. I specifically chose this face though because the eyes were less cute and big.

I know lalas are so small that stuff like that is barely noticeable, but I'm just not even recognizing my girl anymore :'(

I feel super lucky I play a dunesfolk so the missing eye highlight issue isn't as obvious or uncanny on Ririzu as it is on the vast majority of characters. I would join everyone in posting before-and-afters but I the only reason I was even able to get a look in the first place is because my FC leader offered to plug her data into the benchmark (I play on PS4), so i only have the screenshots ae sent me

I posted this in the big graphics discussion thread, but I wanted to share it here as well, a direct red outline comparison of just how nerfed the lips are. This is for Mouth 3, aka the longest one.



I may fantasia to Mouth 2 just to give myself some semblance of an upper lip, but I'm not excited for how small that will make the rest of her mouth. I hope that this is a small enough change that it's fixable because I haven't seen a single person who actively prefers how thin they got.

Thank you for your hard work, but... Please... Just give us back the lalas upper lip. Please.

These two points seem to be fairly common across most races, not just Lalas, which does give me hope that it will be looked at again. If these two points get fixed, my main issues with the new looks would be resolved, I think.
