Dawntrail character graphics update - opinions, requests and discussion megathread

[lunartears]

From 7.1 Patch Notes (Preliminary):

2.x 5.x 6.x
The following adjustments have been made to certain NPCs:

Model quality, texture resolution, and material qualities of faces have been improved.

Well, I hope they have learned a bit from the feedback and that this doesn't mean that unique NPCs are going to look significantly different

I can't see a single change to the lips on Au Ra in those low res images (I know that's a given but I'm desperate), not sure about the eyes.
Not long until 7.1 to find out what they've changed about our faces, I can imagine there's either going to be mass disappointment or quite a lot of conversation, maybe both.
On the other hand, there's a lot of nice system features coming like the mount tilt disable. Though, I'm disappointed about nothing regarding the portrait/"try on" lighting, I hope they're considering looking into it.
