Dawntrail character graphics update - opinions, requests and discussion megathread

[glitteringcosmos]

Also miqo face 4 eyes 3 changed so badly... They look so dead and tired, no light in them like you mentioned and a strong shadow that hides eye colour even more. And seeker eye slit was changed to a more human form which takes away from the unique look it had before.

I just really hope they change it to be more like in endwalker since there aren't other options for serious looking eyes on that face so fantasia doesn't help.

This has been and remains my main issue with this whole update. This is the combo I use for my character and he still looks so dead. I was afraid they wouldn't do anything about it because in the graphic update blog post they linked in the patch notes, they asked us to consider the eyes highlight "spec", and I hate that I was right about them not doing anything about it. I submitted a bug report months ago that was moved to accepted bugs but they still, STILL haven't done anything about it. It's so upsetting and I'm genuinely mad at the developers for this. I've tried to give them grace about a lot of my grievances about dawntrail, but destroying our characters is beyond the pale. I would even have given them a pass about ruining the pupil if only they'd give him some life back in his eyes, but they couldn't even manage that.

i mean, seriously. it is UNACCEPTABLE that only 2 of the 6 total options available for eye shape have eyeshine highlights that are not partially or fully obscured.
