I posted this in the general updated benchmark thread, but I'll post it here since it's specific for Veena Female.

I'm not going to pull up pictures anymore, because at this point I think it just is what it is. My character does not look the same. I don't understand the art direction with just rounding and smoothing out every single sharp angle / line in the female veena viera. My character no longer has a sharper jawline with soft eyes, her entire face looks swollen much like she's having an allergic reaction. The corners of her mouth have a very bizarre shading that looks like her cheeks are pouching out past her lips. Also, I still don't understand why they made their pupils small like the Rava, but it totally changed the mood / feel of my character.

I believe the artstyle follows along with the same designs of the FF16 models. A very bizarre cross between the classic anime with sharp angles (FF7 rebirth) and Inside Out Pixar (just round everything).

Anyways, I apologize for being negative. I've seen lots of beautiful screenshots and many models in the new benchmark look great. My character was just not one of them, sadly.
