Yes, it looks drastically better in the update.

Look, I don't want to take anything away from the people complaining right now because I get it. When I looked at my catgirl in the character creator I was like dang, this is different in a way I don't like. But I'll get used to it, or fantasia to something else if it really bothers me. Meanwhile, everything else in the game that isn't my characters face, (which doesn't look bad, it's small alterations that I will almost never notice when not explicitly looking for them) looks a lot better.
