Something that makes me wonder how up-to-date the benchmark actually is is that I didn’t really see any complaints about characters looking the way they do during all of the previews — even stuff like the Pictomancer/Viper trailers, I don’t recall people being like “that looks nothing like miqote face 4 or middie face 2,” etc. — though there were certainly concerns over the lack of viera noses and au ra rings, etc.

It makes part of me believe the benchmark truly is scuffed or an old build or something. I hope they address it in the next live letter, whatever the truth of the matter is.
