Graphical Update Character Creator Feedback [Miqo'te Male]

[AsterBurwani]

Honestly this is the time to have a major reaction before they release the game. With how the forums are reacting and social media, a lot of players aren't happy with how their WoLs look so SE needs to know.

i agree. some of the reaction is extreme, but necessary. change will come.

(1. now, 2. benchmark)

Yeah, it just feels really different in the new graphics update in a way I'm not super fond of. :(
I think most of the things I have issues with people have already addressed (sleepy eyes, rounder face, lips are too defined/pursed/I also don't like how it gives the face a slight smile). They also made the eyebrows thinner.

Echoing all of this. My character is not looking himself in the graphics preview. It's not that different and yet it all feels off.

Also, the braided ponytail hairstyle remains broken, with the side braids still hovering well off the face and very noticable at certain angles. (I could not figure out how to zoom in on my laptop without a mouse, so cannot check whether you can also still see daylight right under the central braid from a profile view.)

So. Any chance we will have option to downgrade the graphics on our own character?
I was never the craziest fan of this graphics update anyway.

EDIT
Loving OG #1, #6 and #15
they are sharper and easier to read as they are.

Eyewhites popping like they do in new looks are uncanny.

The eyes don't look right for certain. The shading at the top is too dark, obscuring the catchlights while also removing a lot of the vibrant color from it. It blends into the eyelashes and makes the eyes look souless/droopy/etc. The pupils are also not as prominent as in the original which is a shame.

The nose appears rounder/wider which could be due to lighting sure. My main issue is honestly the eyes, however.

To me it looks like eyes dont play by the same ganeral lighting as the rest of the guy.
What that mean in 3d art terms i have no idea.

Like... bruh. I know this is the Male Miqo thread, but this was from a poster over on the JP forums. Look at these eyes and try again to tell me that the geometry hasn't changed LOL

I'm looking at it, and you're confusing textures for geometry.

No eye shine, darker lip color, deeper shadows, and nose shine. If you threw on eye shine and a ligher lipstick it would look 75% more normal.

Bruh I am convinced you're trolling at this point. Those eyes are NOT the same SIZE and SHAPE, is what I'm saying. If you have nothing constructive to add, then I bid you good day, otherwise stop telling people it's in their heads.
