Hello! I wanted to post about my opinions of the new graphical update. The benchmark trailer was amazing and overall I do think they did a great job upgrading the general graphics.

The thing though, is when I loaded my character to the creation screen... It's definitely not her.



Her eyes are too rounded and I think that's the problem with the new female Miqo'te eyes.





I'm sure there's more comparisons out there, but hopefully this shows what I mean. Could be the eyelashes, but these faces don't have any makeup/face paint. It feels like they've just turned all (female) Miqos into a doll and each of the eye options kind of lose their originality.

To hear the promise of "We want your character to still be your character, but prettier" and then see this - well, this ain't it. If I wanted round eyes for my WoL I would choose that option.

Lips are a whole other topic, I'm sure all races are facing the same problem. Darker with not many options to tone it down. The matte lips clashes and wanting the glossy lips back. The overall lip shape.

Again, I don't doubt the 7.0 graphical update is pretty.



You can definitely see the glow-up. But once you zoom out, it's a whole different story. I can deal with lighting changes, sure I'll tweak the color palettes around. But if you change the eyes to all be big and round, that's not going to be the same Miqo'te.

I really was looking forward to the graphical update for my character, but ended up being pretty disappointed. Hopefully they can address these issues, but with DT being about 2 months away, I'm not really holding onto much hope.
