I'm going to start by stating that I'm not too upset over the new lighting changes for him. He still looks roughly the same and I can fix them if this ends up being the end product. With that said, I would like to point out what I noticed based on the Endwalker and Dawntrail Benchmarks.
  • Shadows are not as harsh in the update.
  • Lips are matte and appear flat with a lack of shadows/light
  • The scar is more embedded into the skin than embossed
  • More light passes through the ears making them glow in certain lighting

I know eyelashes are also a problem, but it is still visible in different light environments. Also, the Limsa area tends to add a yellow/green light depending on the skin tone, while the Gridania area lacks light making the characters look flat.

Honestly, I think the dead eye look could be fixed if Viera kept the big white shine instead of the two/three tiny dots.
