Thread: 7.0 Graphic Update - Lalafell Feedback (please give me back my smudge!!)

I gave my old Lala design a spin (she's now a retainer) and this is what I got:


As I said both my Viera and Miqo (who used to be this Lala), the difference is staggering.
Between the low res hair, the pale flat looking skin and the absolutely horrendous shadows... I'm just so ready to move on from these PS3 characters.

Also: Please make sure to match lighting conditions and pose if you're looking to make a proper comparison. I mean no disrespect, but Khuja's comparisons are really poorly executed.

That said, I'll give you guys the upper lip argument, though I don't personally think it's game breaking.

I'm curious if most of the bad transitions happen to be female lalafell... I've seen most of my male lala friends super thrilled but the female side is here and there with it.

I tested with my npc alt and I at least know I'll love seeing cutscenes with Pipin again

the lack of an upper lip or darker nose just makes my character look completely different to me

Face paint has also been left untouched, and now looks even worse on darker skin. Darker skin also seems to have become more green? I don't mind the rounder face but looking through all the dunesfolk options there's just no more upper lips or dark noses. Even going through other eye/nose/face options they've all become much more feminine and eyes especially are larger and rounder. Feels like they just changed all the female character options to be more generically feminine I tried the gamma correction change but it just makes the background hurt my eyes to look at(it makes darker skin look slightly less washed out though)

I just find the eyes very odd now.



When I first looked at my character, I was disappointed by the way the eyes look. The different eyelash structure really affected the overall shape of the eye. Before, when the lashes ended in a point and are longer at the top than in the corners, it gave a sort of cat-eye appearance which I liked and why I chose this eye type. The new "eyeliner" they gave us is also now thicker past the upper corner of the eye and is really dark and inky looking, which gives that rounded look now instead.



That said, maybe I can play around with things and find a fix.

I feel like I'm obsessing over this but the eyes are the biggest part of their faces so that's what's really bugging me with my character. I'm pretty much okay with the rest of her face.
