I think Pip may have taken steroids backstage

I am extremely happy with the changes, my fem aura looks way cuter and more doll-ish like how i always envisioned in my head. I really enjoy the new eye and limbal textures they look much more realistic and i dont feel like my character looks "scary" and low poly ish anymore.

I've also seen alot of people complain about the lack of gloss in lip color but i am in love with it, i've always hated how shiny and weird the color would show up on lips so if i wanted a little pink or red i was forced to have gloss and it would look bad in some lighting. I do hope they add at least a toggle for it if they end up changing it back to glossy

I'm honestly not sure how I feel about this, the lips are too weird and the hair seems a bit too bright. I like the neck scales though.

Over all I like the new better, though I agree about the hair being a little too bright. It might not seem as bright in other locations though.

Regarding the lips, they're both better and worse (strangely). It looks like you have No Lip Color for your appearance, in which case it's good to have the gloss gone. On the other hand, the new one looks like a single molded lip instead of 2 lips. I'd have a hard time really deciding until I could see the face being animated. I remember YoshiP pointing out how irises almost "shake" now so a character seem to be more looking than staring. Maybe watching the face animation over time will give similar life to the lips?

I've still got to download before I can check my characters.

I agree with the softer but to me the face seems more "seasoned" not younger.

I'm using white on the light setting, I wanted to go for an almost no-lip look so the change is quite unexpected. Initially, I was really worried about the eyes in particular changing but they don't seem too bad, just a bit too full of life for my personal preference.

I'm happy with it.

I think Lalafells won pretty big with the update, here's mine. I like that the eyes are more lit up but at the same time I kind of prefer the original.

Yeah, something about the lips I prefer in the old version but overall I like the changes to my character. The clothing really impressed me, the difference in the metals and the leather plus now the Lala scarves actually look like scarves, which is cool since they have a purpose in lore.

From Eorzea Encyclopedia:

A distinctive element of traditional Lalafellin
garb is the scarf, which also serves an eminently
practical function—it can be unfurled to serve
as a sipmal flag on the wide seas or vast deserts,
allowing a Lalafell to stand out beyond his or
her modest stature. They are also known to favor
relaxed, loose-fitting garments that conceal their
naturally rotund builds.

These are all going to be "I hate all change" threads aren't they?

[Gralna]

Like how they added combat grunts to voice samples now during character creation.

They murdered my girl... the dark pupils combined with the hellsguard nose rhinarium/mark being so much lighter is not a winning change.
