Feedback 7.0: Lips and face expressions changed too much

[Hejligan]

A huge reason for my character looking so different now is because the mouth is fundamentally different, because the lips cover the entire area which previously was the fold of the mouth. And this seems rather consistent, unless I am mistaken: it is like the graphics designers straight up confused mouth-folds with the lips themselves. For me, it can uncharitably be desribed like I now have a bit of a "botox smile". On the positive note, it should be relatively easy for Square Enix to fix it because of how conrete it is. The massive amounts of lip gloss are not helping, though.

The eyes are the other huge reason. Eyelashes are still way too symmetrical, large and dark for my character, all though they reduced it in comparison to the first benchmark, it is still a problem, such a problem that I can't really see my eyes clearly, and they are darkened by the eyelashes themselves. The eyes themselves look weirdly glazed over. Facial expressions can look really weird around the eye-area too, to the degree that I thought I spotted a "second eyebrow" in some emotes?

You're correct. I made a thread about it because it's the same for every single race.

It's exactly this, I have the feeling they worked on textures but somehow the current team don't understand face features and expressions... it's very upsetting

The positive aspect of that is that it should be fairly easy for Square Enix to fix it, since it is a relatively trackable issue. The problem is that 7.0 is already out, and that can change the whole game of how much can be changed...
