Dawntrail character graphics update - opinions, requests and discussion megathread

[Anarnee]

They seem to have slightly darkened Femroe Face 2 Roes nose ash which I love to see but is still does not seem to be as dark as it was before? They have adjusted the top lash line, which WAS bugging me.

However the round bulbous nose (Still the only Femroe face with this issue, everyone else has a sharp nose and the shadows don't give them this hyur nose impression) and worst of all the dark snake eyes remain.

There might have been some other changes with expressions, nose don't seem to bend the same as before and for some expressions the under eye it feels less warp hard? Might post pics later for what I noticed, but I'm just... Tired. and some stuff I was so upset with looking at since 7.0 I couldn't even take pics but I do have a video going through all the weird expressions from when our faces use to twitch like a heart beat pulsing in our face.

Will look at my darker girls later to see if they've adjusted the gastly oily look or not. OTL

I am failing to see any of the issues the community raised about character adjustments having actually been addressed at all.

Looks like they didn't do much if anything to male miqo face 1. Which is a travesty because the mouth is still utterly fucked. I want the god damn frog mouth gone already

"Maybe we'll fix your character next patch!" is CS3's new carrot on a stick.

Damn, I was hoping when they said they’d update characters, especially the corners of mouths that appeared to be lifted or lowered, they didn’t touch Miqo Male face 4 at all…

Guess this is me forever now

[Loggos]

I'm not seeing any changes on my char either.

[Luluna]

I doubt they have done much judging by the replies in this thread...

I will log on later and see if they have addressed some of my issues but I will not get my hopes up

Fool me once as they say. Carrot looking kinda dry and unappealing at this point though.

Does anyone know if it's better if we keep it up in this thread or if it would be better to start a new megathread for 7.2?

I think folks need to expect just the slightest of tweaks moving forward. They seem more focused on lighting, gear updates and environmental updates. Anything character-related will most likely be highly selective and minor. They can't do this forever and keep giving out fantasia every patch indefinitely. Folks expecting every minor nuance to be addressed at this point (and I know for many something minor seems major cuz it is personal and your character) are setting up for disappointment.

Except the infamous Lodestone post only covered the plans for 7.1 and 7.2. And given how more and more reluctant they are to express themselves on this subject (not a single extra comment in the patch notes reading session stream yesterday), there's very little reason to believe they'll spend any more time or resources on this issue, unless they resort to silently change things from now on. Still I think there's no reason to have any expectations at all for 7.3 and beyond, except if after 6 months of silence we get another official announcement about the graphical update (extremely unlikely).

So I guess it's up to the players to decide what to do from now on: accept the current state of things despite a year's worth of feedback, start breaking ToS, or stop p(l)aying entirely.
Feels great :^)
