The Graphical Update

[Yencat]

I'd love it if they could leave faces as an easy basic 'preset' option, but then allow us to use smaller features (lips, eyebrows, eye shapes, tattoos, markings etc.) from all faces.

I really like the eyes on some faces but then the noses and mouths are awful, and vice versa.

It seems like our prayers have been answered! While I doubt this will include the coveted butt slider, this may mean we will see a revisit to character customization in 7.0


What I really want to see is a separation of face locked aesthetics: let miqo'te choose their face markings, let Viera have their tattoos regardless of head choice etc etc

Oh and finally decouple au ra horns from heads.

They didn't say anything about customization. With that there is more than just graphic limitations to deal with. I do want it, but don't think a graphic update automatically means more options.

This will be the Warrior of Light in 2007

I don't want the sweaty look, the middle is fine. Maybe a sweat slider?

I think the one on the far right was explicitly how it isn't going to look because they aren't aiming for super realistic?

The middle one is what they're going for thankfully, I'd be pretty unhappy if my character suddenly had pores you could serve dip out of.

Yeah I know, Both me and my son cringed when we saw it and were glad to hear it was not gonna happen. However you know as soon as Graphic Update 1 goes up people will be digging up that pic demanding "Graphic Update 2: Electric Boogaloo". Some hair sheen would be nice.

We'll see what they end up settling on but I wouldn't mind a little bit of texture in the skin, but not whatever was going on in that image. Unless it was a toggle or facial feature you can add or remove, that'd be fine, great even.

The hair is already a big improvement in these early drafts so I look forward to seeing the end result.

Ngl, 3rd photo reminds me of the sweat/shine option some games provide now (such as BDO)...so maybe actually getting a sweat slider? O.o

Kinda gives me hope that maybe we'll get hair shine options with this.

Maybe... Every example had a rich shine on the hair. Dunno if it was just the lightning used though.

I'm kind of hyped for this, because it probably mean that finally our characters can look good under dim light.

Like, right now... I'd add a faint red lip color to my viera so he won't look just like dead-pale, and it looks good on regular lightning, but as soon as I wander into a tunnel or somewhere without a direct light source, his lips become fully darkened and with ugly eyebags too.

Thank goodness for the graphical update.

Hopes that it will come in tandem with an expanded character creator.

I mean, the update is long overdue, but it doesn't take out facts like races with just 4 options of faces, or Au Ra horns locked into face models.

And here I was hoping for an upgrade to HD 2D graphics ^_^. Sprites all the way

I don't get to watch any of the streams, when is this supposed to happen?
