I feel like I lucked out in that I don't mind face 5 looking a bit older for my guy specifically, and I don't mind his features being softened a little (even though I prefer harsher shading to define things like brows or noses stylistically). I came out more unscathed than my partner who plays as m!elezen. That said, there's still some things about the lighting that are really weird with darker skin tones. of course, it looked better in the trailer than the CC, but even just comparing between the CC....

like, the weird points of light at either side of his lips dont make sense to me, and he is overall a little more grayed out to the point where I'm going to consider taking him a shade darker and seeing if I like that more. (but that doesnt help anyone whose characters are already on the darkest settings they can use)
