I spent a while alt tabbing between the live character creator and the benchmark to compare. The lighting in the benchmark does seem slightly different but it might have been just my imagination, or maybe clouds blocking the light in one while it was sunny in the other. Either way it has not been significantly updated, but it is something I strongly hope they do change in 7.0, even if the promised character creation overhaul is still a ways off. Otherwise a LOT of people are going to be chugging that free fantasia only to go into the game and say "wait, this isn't how I looked a minute ago!" and that's really not the kind of discourse you want at the launch of a new expansion.
