I think the graphical changes are good. My character looks much nicer, and I feel like the lighting, the gear and the environments are a massive step forwards.

I do agree that there is still work they need to do addressing the changes that were made to some characters, such as eyebrows and lips being totally different, but I certainly disagree that it’s an objective failure. I think the eyes and skin need a touchup, but still a net improvement overall.

Anyway, I find this post odd, because you begin each part of your "objective" statement with "I believe" -- which just tells me you subconciously recognize this is a subjective statement.

I really wish the forum wouldn't use so much hyperbole when levying criticisms. All it does is make people defensive or offensive on both sides to make sure their hyperbole is the one that comes out on top. This is why each thread turns in to an argument by its second page lol.
I really do not know about reddit that much, but on twitter that is simply not true based on my own feed. That said, too, reddit and twitter are usually places for discussion amongst players. You'll find controversial debates about things like gameplay and similar there because that is something that is often discussed amongst peers. But we're talking about people and their opinions on the graphic update and how that has affected their character. No one cares what you (general you) think about how their character looks, but they do care about the results and Yoshida did promise that peoples characters wouldn't be greatly affected by the update which people have found for themselves is untrue. People know Yoshida, and the dev team, use the forums for feedback. It's not surprising that most of the negativity you're going to be seeing is on the forums which is one of the closest ways they can direct their feedback to the developers.
