Posted my feedback on JP side. I guess this is the best place to provide feedback for ENG side so I gonna post here too just in case.

Tldr; Overall I am happy with the update. For my character a tiny fix around the eyes will be nice.

My character is Hyur Midlander with Face 3. I tried to keep the lighting and camera angle as close as possible. I never touch the gamma or lighting settings it should be default.


Overall I have no problem with the new smooth look, I think I can get used to them. The new textures are nice and is an upgrade.
However there's definitely something off that made it look very different from the original, like the personality didn't match. And I deduced that it's the eyes.

>>>The current one has very clear eyelid line.
>>>The 7.0 version eyelid line got toned down. Just some small wrinkles.

The difference is subtle but it does give a different impression for the character and personality.
At first I thought it could only be the type 2 eye I uses, so I tried comparing every eye types and these are the results:





Turns out all eye types suffer the same fate. The very clear eyelid lines got toned down giving a different impression. The older ones looks kinder, calmer, and I personally prefer it that way.
It could be because the new lighting making it brighter around the eyes, still the eyelid shouldn't be erased like this. I would appreciate it if this can be fixed to stay as close to the original as possible.

And out of curiosity I made a simple retouch myself to see if it will actually help. Focus around the eyes.

They are very subtle so here's some gifs.




All I did is make the eyelid lines and the under eye wrinkles a little darker and I'm pretty happy with the results. It is enough to satisfy me. I think they are closer to the original impression. These are just my personal opinion but I hope they are helpful.

Also it appears that the beard still has the old texture.



And that's all from me. Overall I am happy with the new graphic updates. I believe these updates are still the work in progress and I don't expect a drastic changes to be made on time for launch but I am looking forward to it nonetheless.
