7.0 Feedback - Male Elezen (face 4): clipping issues, eyebrow changes

[cio]

Hi, my character uses the face 4 for elezen. I'm making this thread to point out some concerns I had with the changes featured in the 7.0 preview, with the hope that the devs will address them.

1) EYEBROW CHANGES

First of all, the eyebrow changes for option #5 (which are the ones I use) is dramatic. The shape is totally different now. The character looks different, like he went to a beauty salon (good for him, but not the look I'm looking for...)



I noticed that in the 7.0 character creator, the shape that now ressembles most option #5 in the current game is option #1. However, it's still really different.



TLDR: now no eyebrows in 7.0 look like those my character uses...


2) BEARD CLIPPING ISSUE

There's now big holes on the side of the face where the face and the beard do not connect anymore. There's only two jawlines tested in the pics, but it's the same issue with all jawlines.





I don't need to explain why this is bad, and I hope this can be fixed.

PS: You can also see in those examples that the hair texture is very different/seems less defined than what it is in the current game. All the texture was smoothed out, and the beard has a different color than the hair now... I admit that I really preferred the way it looks in the current game.

With all the changes to the eyebrows they have added, seeing this change I feel like it's the most drastic one By completely changing the shape of that eyebrow I feel like it gives your character, and I'm sure other people's characters who use the same ones, a whole new vibe... They removed the personality from those brows

Oh wow, those eyebrows are bad. That is an absolutely wild change. And those beard gaps are not a good situation...

I do recommend also adding this to the main Elezen feedback thread, in case this one gets lost:

Right? I really don't understand why they felt that change was needed... All the options look so similar now (even more than before).

And thanks, I'll do that
