    I don't recognize my fem Viera anymore... ;_;

    I miss the way her eyes sparkle (the new gleam has less shine and is less unique), the depth and life it gave her eyes (images from Endwalker benchmark):




    This is the same saved character model loaded into the different benchmarks and it's like she's a completely different person.

    EW benchmark (aethereal background):


    DT benchmark (aethereal background):


    In the updated graphics, she looks to have a more rounded face. The nose looks great, but there's not much else I like about the changes to her.

    I feel like her eyelashes are clumpy and weird, and her eyes got much darker and appear less open.
    EW benchmark:


    DT benchmark:


    Not to mention her lips! They are adorable, shiny and plump with the current graphics, but as of 7.0 they will look flat, with the corners of the mouth being uneven, and the lips being separated by a very, very straight line. ;_;

    EW benchmark:


    DT benchmark:


    This is not OK. Fem Viera cannot and should not be left in this state. I understand that the dev team have been working so hard to make this graphical update a reality, but I beg of you, please do not change female Viera into this.

    Face 2 also got hit with this. I generally use both face 1 & 2, depending on mood, but the mouth change has probably killed off face 2 for me. It's really bad looking now.

    e. I ran my face 2 through the benchmark, and it didn't look AS bad as the side-by-side comparison in the creator. The creator made her look ROUGH. As a whole though, all of my characters looked worse to me with the new settings. Colors are way muted, there's no shine on their lips, facial features seem to have changed shape, jaws blend into their necks, lalas lost their noses, and mooore. I'm a wee bit nervous. lol.

    Gonna have to play around a lot in-game once the expansion hits to see how they look in the actual world.
