Yoshida gives update on the benchmark/character creator

[CidHeiral]

If I understand it correctly they are not only changing the lighting but also scaling issues, particularly some issues related to mouths, a major point of criticism. I don't know how far these scaling issues go but they might also influence some observed changes in facial proportions.
So if people are happy afterwards I'd argue it may very well be due to those other issues being fixed and not necessarily them being wrong about the lighting.

There were real issues here and there but by and large people complaining about "dead eyes," "flat face," etc. just didn't understand how lighting works and would jump down the throat of anyone who suggested that might be the problem. I can already see some of those people backpedaling and it's a hoot.

Hats off to the developers for being communicative and transparent with the community even when the community is being ridiculous.

For some reason I distinctly remember him saying they were going to "try" to give everyone a free Fantasia. Maybe I'm misremembering or something.

He said they're "still working out the details" which is probably what you're thinking of.
