Likewise I used to play a miqo'te and one of the thing I didn't like was how the cheeks and lips looked a bit puffy. I knew the upgrade could go two ways about it: either remove it and "streamline" the face to something more classical, or on the contrary consider it part of the character and define it better so it was no longer possibly to overlook it. The later is what happened. But I can't say the character is different, it's just that a detail I could pretend didn't exist has become impossible to ignore.
I'm gonna need you to point out where she has dimples in the live game cause I've gposed her extensively and even ripped her into Blender and she absolutely does not have any dimples. Honestly if they could just remove those even I could live with overly pouty lips and a round face because playing a "dragon" person (disclaimer: I know they're not related to dragons at all) is more important to me, but now she looks just overly cute. Like she should be holding a white mage staff on the backline instead of a greatsword or scythe in the front.
