Character graphical changes are NOT in an acceptable state, please make it optional

I don't think the subsurface scattering on the Elezen ears is too strong at all. It's pretty in line with how I'd expect them to behave.

The effect showed in the inn picture definitely feels like it's too much, at least for me. Also, it's not only the strenght of the effect, but the color not matching the actual skin tone that's the problem too.

I have to respectfully disagree. That is EXACTLY how cartilage behaves in that scenario. Here's some other examples of SSC from RDR2 and Uncharted. It looks identical IRL but I wanted to stick with video games. Just hold a flashlight to your finger, it's the same effect. If anything, it's kind of toned down.

So I'm not allowed to feel like it's too much because of what other games have done? Also, I'm mostly talking about how it looks on my duskwight which happens to have grey skin so the pink effect sticks like a sore thumb.

This is what they've chosen to go with and it unfortunately won't please everyone. We are now just a little over two months to launch. They aren't going to overhaul the new designs and they aren't going to delay the game either just for this. While tweaks could happen here and there. We should have always expected there could be drastic changes to looks. But they have been very transparent in the upcoming changes. Not every character will end up a 1 to 1. Folks either accept. Change races. Or move on.

People were expecting improved model and texture quality. They have changed way too much with the "updated" visuals.

If I recall, even World of Warcraft had toggle option to keep using old models when they did their graphical rework.

And some textures you can hardly call them an upgrade... The waxy skin might be debatable (I think it should be improved don't get me wrong) but things like the lips and some of the hairstyles definitely feel like a downgrade...

at this point, this please, please

Let's just call it for what it is: This graphic update is a hot steaming mess. Not just small texture issues but anatomical ones, too. We have clipping issues and seam- issues left right and center. Hair textures got worse here and there looking like Playstation 2 design. It somehow looks like we've lost polygons in the making which is absolutely atrocious. The images from the Thread creator are a good example. I found some on my own as well.

Some examples which don't look serviceable at all. Plastic textures, flat textures which are bent into all directions to give the illusion of modelled hair. I didn't check other hairstyles because I got sad.
