It looks good. They eyes appear more fresh. Somehow the opposite of my Elezen. Her eyes went from crazy to calm. xD

I am not a fan.

Here is my character as he is now:



Here he is in the benchmark:



That added black eyeliner might work for a few looks, but it doesn't mesh with mine at all. If it was an additional face option, this would be all good, but there is no way to opt out of it.

It really affects the general feeling I get when I look at my WoL, and I do hope that this is reconsidered before launch.

Well, this thread got derailed. I was hoping to see some before and afters, not essays on how the lips are slightly upturned and that changes the lips's personality.
Snip.

Nothing got derailed. The opening post literally asks you to "Post your WoL's before and after, and how you feel.". Besides, I think everyone is free to voice their concerns especially when the before and after can be jarring which is exactly the same type of post where you'd air your concerns. If you want to view just the before and after, just don't read the essays - its quite easy to do that.

Its not about accepting change for most people. Most people understand there is a graphics update, but there are stylistic changes e.g. mouth shape changes, eye shape changes, pupils becoming enlarged. None of these are specifically graphical changes but a style change. There are definitely some lighting issues in some before and afters, but some critical details (like the ones I detailed) are unaffected by lighting.

I'm confident that they'll keep adjusting the details in the leadup to Dawntrail given they have already said so and given the level of detailed feedback left on both the JPN forums and english forums. I would encourage people to say how they feel after they post their before and after whether they're unhappy or happy as any feedback can be useful for future adjustments (or more character creator options)

You're not even the OP and most of the posts in it are in the same vein as the way it started. You just don't like what other people are saying. Maybe start a different thread.

Only real things I noticed are

• Lips got more glossy even though no lipstick
• Hair is very bright
• The white of the eyebrows looks shorter and at a different angle
• The ear's cartilage is modeled is different
