New Benchmark (June): Au Ra Feedback

They should really take another look at female face 4 and see what they can do about keeping that sharp look. I know I'm not the only one, but I'm not a fan at all. It has kind of dwindled my hype for DT as I can only imagine myself constantly being distracted by how uncanny my character looks now instead of the actual cutscenes.

Agreed, my lizard looks like her face is swollen from an allergic reaction or something; idk why they dropped the ball so hard when it came to the face 4 updates. The mouths especially look like they made no effort at all to keep them similar to the current ones.

Iirc they mentioned one Miqo'te face where the mouth had to be altered a lot more than others due to the old one not working out with the new rigging.
So I can only assume that all the mouths that has had more changes than others also needed it to work with the new.

I can't remember where I read it, but I am 99% sure I read it somewhere in a letter or something.

This wouldn't surprise me at all if it were the case, but it also means face 4 completely loses what uniqueness it has to instead be a nightmare of a porcelain doll. It looks fantastic when emoting pretty much anything, but outside of those emotive cutscenes, it is just a write off. Also, if it is the case, they need to go back over the face anyways because the lips still look completely awful.

If this is, indeed, what happened, they should just tell the playerbase. Then I can at least mourn the loss of my character and fully dive into another character design, instead of this unknown state of not knowing what is happening. These are our characters, and if they have to change it because of knock on effects, so be it. At least let us know.

Same, I made my character entirely around face 4's stern and sharp looks. All I want is to keep the looks we have now but upscales.

Same, a lot of what made face 4 unique seems to be lost with all the 'softening' and I chose it for the sharper features. Now it looks like a different character and less unique then she did before (my main alt - different race- had the same issue with face 4, the softening of face 4)
