I find the characters in this game really ugly/weird

[_Pigzig]

Anyone else feel this way? It's got that uncanny valley doll look. The newer races like Hrothgar and Viera are definitely better than the old but I still don't have a race I really like in this game. I play Elezen and keep my helmet on most of the time. If I looked more like Aymeric I might like Elezen more.

Male Viera I'm hoping will be good. I think the females look nice, but I don't want to be a girl or have a lion's face as Hrothgar(although I find them cool). I am thinking I might swap to Hrothgar anyway at least for a while though.

How do you feel about the characters in this game? I wish they would do an update of character models or something. I can't be the only one that feels this way with the uncanny valley effect. For me there is so much beautiful graphics but then you see a characters weird face and it's just... yuck.


Posted this on the Japanese forum too to see what they say over there.
Also I could really use recommendations on what race to play to avoid this problem.

Cool story bro.

Cool story bro.

Why am I not surprised at a response like this from a pink haired female character called Neko?

You have to play with skin and eye color, eye shape and makeup to get them to look right. I find it easiest to make a female Roegadyn or male Hrothgar that doesn't look soulless.

People and their opinions.
Sidika is happy with her appearance

You can make literally anyone look ugly from certain angles and with certain expressions.

Because you're the expert... on any topic.

I don't feel this way at all. I think the characters look great!

Unfortunately the opposite is true too. You can look like an atrocity if you aren’t being careful. I’ve used quite a few glamours and still never been that happy.
I race changed to Hrothgar just before so I’ll see how that goes I guess. Probably I’ll feel better as a lion than a weird doll for now.
