Personally, I think the super legitimate concerns are the different lip shapes and some minor, peculiar details like Hellsguard noses, umbral rings, etc., being not *quite* right. The waxxy skin could use another pass, but it looks fine in most lighting and just kinda off in some. Net positive overall imo. The character creator does admittedly do a horrible job of showing off the character. Benchmark is much better, but problems still remain for a lot of people.

tbh, this was kind of always going to be inevitable. It happened from 1.0 to ARR, and if we lived in some alternate reality where we were going from DT to ARR graphics, all the threads would be about how bad the textures are and how the pixels can be counted lol. Yoshida and the team are CERTAINLY taking feedback, tho. They want people laying out their issues and concerns. I have no doubt the plan was to always monitor the situation, and I would be shocked if they don't address it during the upcoming live letters and media tour.
