    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.

    Hot tip is to make a throwaway character on launch to test, so you don't burn your fantasia.

    Whats this about a promised update to the CC?

    Would not that far about that someone promised updating the character creation, but if i remember correctly Yoshi p was asked in a recent interview about if they have any plans updating CC because of the graphics update , and as always his answer was that they will maybe look into that after they have done all the graphics update's

    I agree to a certain extent.

    People really need to stop using the Gridanian lighting (everyone does) which is absolutely atrocious and blown out.
    The new eyes are amazing and the new reflection system is 500x better than the white dot. The only thing they need to do is make the reflections more sensitive so it picks up light better when in dark settings. I implore people to turn their character in the aether to face the light.

    I also agree that there are some people posting literally identical characters and it draws attention away from the actual changes on some faces.

    But there is some pretty egregious changes on some faces that wouldn't be saved by any kind of GPose.

    While the CC lighting is certainly responsible for some of the complaints, it is not responsible for the changes in lip texture/shape on a lot of faces. Female Viera are probably the most obvious example, seemingly losing detail they previously had, and it doesn't matter under what lighting you look at them.
