Thancred's new face

[SiriuslyEmily]

A bug report isn’t a bad idea imo. It might get rejected but with how they’ve already ignored player complaints about his face I don’t see how that’s a major risk, lol.

Speaking of bug reports, I made a bug report that got accepted that Thancred's hairline isn't attached to his head in certain angle (ShB model?)

Good to hear that your bug report was accepted, Rueby!

That picture doesn't look anything like him - it makes me so sad to see the new model

I will have a think about how best to word the overarching bug report, but if anyone has any ideas, please feel free to chip in! I'm going to post the link to the site again below for anyone who missed it, too:

I think for a bug report if there’s at least partially focus on how his facial rig for expressions seems really off in cutscenes (his face looks really flat in some scenes and in others his mouth doesn’t look right at all when it moves or when he smiles, etc) , it might get some traction? Part of the problem of the updated face is his cutscenes are strongly affected since his expressions look wrong or even bad now ):

Incredible work on that website! I hope it helps this issue really gain some more traction

I posted on the Japanese forums to introduce the "Save Thancred!" website in Japanese! I hope the devs see it...

英語圏のフレンドが、
NPCサンクレッドのグラフィックスアップデートに関する世界各国のプレイヤー（主にサンクレッドファン）からの要望を集め、
それらをもとに旧デザインと新デザインを比較・分析し、フィードバックをまとめたウェブサイトを立ち上げました。
英語フォーラムでの投稿だけでは、日本の運営にフィードバックが届かない可能性があるとのことで、
こちらに引用という形で失礼致します。
日本語ページもご用意いたしましたので、ぜひご覧いただき、ご検討いただけますと幸いです。

A few of us Thancred fans have put together a comprehensive site demonstrating the issues with his updated face, and have collated several image and slider comparisons to show the differences in details.

Please check out the link below and feel free to share with your friends! If there is any way to get the word out it would be much appreciated. I will also post it in the general graphics update thread.

Is it worth raising a bug report, do you think? This is hopefully enough information.

With 7.2's first live letter rapidly approaching I hope we'll get some good news about this at last.

With 7.2's first live letter rapidly approaching I hope we'll get some good news about this at last.

I'm trying to remain hopeful, but if we don't hear anything I'll continue to bump this thread!

As a side note - does anyone want to add a quote to the "fan comments" section of the website? If you leave a couple of lines here I will get these added We also plan on updating the site with further comparisons, so if you want to share any old images of Thancred that we can create comparisons for this would be hugely appreciated!

Can you add mine?

"He looks a lot better now. Good job CBU3."

Thanks.

If there's nothing about it from the 7.2 liveletter, then we keep pushing for changes until our voices are heard. Keep bumping the thread so the topic remains fresh.
