Thread: 7.0 Graphic Update - Elezen feedback

Overall? I'm pretty happy with the changes made. Of course, the lighting in the character creation screen is a bit funky but it's always been like that. In the benchmark itself, everything is nice and crisp and looks good when lighting that makes sense hits the character model.






I personally like the way that lighting hits our ears now and makes it look like an actual part of the body that resembles flesh; this is just in regards to Wildwood models, that is.






But hooo boy. Hoooo boy the fem elezen animations are bugging out.






For reference, on the current client of the game this is how the mouth animation normally looks.





TL;DR overall changes good mouth animations bugging out bad

Less drastic lighting difference

I like these changes, see, in your case it looks better. Happy for you.

I would like to see the lines under my eyes removed as in face 3; the shadows lightened.

Face 2 became a new man. Duskwight have become Wildwood.



I also wrote it in Japanese.

フェイスペイントで多少目尻部分は明るくできますが、目頭や瞳の下に不自然な影が残ります。

顔タイプ２だけではなく、シェーダー族全体の目の影が強くなり
フォレスターとシェーダーの違いが肌色と眉下の影の濃さしかないように見えます。

This is just a natural reaction.
What you are looking at is how the Elezens ears catches and store the warmth of the sun (or other heat sources) during days, which the body can later use during cold nights.
It's also useful to help the body digest food faster.

That inn picture hurt my soul.
