Yoshida gives update on the benchmark/character creator

[Yencat]

After seeing it used to describe any sort of disagreement or differences in a point of view, I really look forward to the day the internet leaves the word 'gaslighting' back where it found it.

All I can say is, "ah, cool!"

Love the quick response.
Thought that kind of kills my plans for the afternoon as i was gonna construct a tier list

Has anyone checked the bones in the models used for the Hildebrand cutscenes and compared them to the new models yet? IIRC, don't they use the Hildebrand quests to test new graphics things?

You can try this one for comparison, but it suffers from a lot of the lighting issues present in the benchmark.

Cautiously hopeful.

I’m still concerned that they did not mentioned about sculpting blatant redesigns (shrinking nose bridge, addition of nasolabial folds, upping the poly of eye shapes without matching the older shape, etc). But if there’s anything they got it right from this move, is a communication. It could be just a PR talk but it IS something.

One can only hope from this point onward and keep adding what little feedback that they can find to compile & hopefully helps.

For people complaining about how it doesn't address x or y, there's some funny words you skipped over. I'll quote them for you:

The following points are some of the factors that will be resolved by applying the graphical update of the actual game to the character creation system

The following are examples of issues which fall into this category

It's not like full patch notes where you get every tiny detail addressed. Reserve judgement about future changes until they actually happen. Keep providing feedback and try not to start doom posting again.

Anything about the black "eyeliner" they added to a few faces?

They might fix it internally without mentioning it. We won't know until the updated benchmark is out.

Anything about the black "eyeliner" they added to a few faces?

Added makeup and eyeliner becoming too dark & stark is a very common complaint for all races, even in the JP thread! It's hopefully one of the higher priorities for "feedback implementation" they mention in #3, since it's so easily noticeable. That doesn't mean to stop trying to get your voice heard, though!

The lighting not being properly fixed in the benchmark explains why the three starter zones had duller highlights than the aetherial sea stuff, which had all the proper highlights on some of my characters.
