Can I make a guess ? Maybe higher number of polygon ? When I look closely to it, they look more "round" for some reason ?

and teeth, but that was in the live letter

I use eye 3 on my miqo also, and the roundness was something I had noticed almost immediately when I was comparing them on the original benchmark. Bit of a bummer it seems to have stayed.

My eyelashes have been slightly reduced from v1 to v1.1.

And I guess the face marks and nose smudge are a little darker maybe.

I'm too lazy to crop two screenshots together again but generally my character does look better than before. It still seems like the male viera face 1 eye makeup tattoo is still worse than it currently is, but I guess I'll just have to accept that at this point. Everyone just uses face 3 or whatever so there hasn't been a lot of complaints about it from anyone besides me and like two other people.

It's way too early/late for me to do deep comparisons but I am disappointed that the reduction in glow for Au Ra limbal rings seems to be staying. :/ One of my Au Ra came out of it okay (probably bc he has very dark skin and white irises, so the hot pink rings stand out a bit more even with reduced glow), but the other is in a bad spot; the next step up turns their limbal rings seafoam green and not the intense cyan they currently are, when the eye-searing saturation combined with the bright glow was a huge part of their face... Don't know why people who hated an optional feature they could remove are being catered to, they could always remove the limbal rings but I'm stuck with my character's eyes looking wrong because no correct options exist anymore.

On the bright side, a lot of the lip problems are massively improved which is nice.

I feel bad saying this knowing how hard the devs have been working on improvements - especially close to Dawntrail's release date - but I'm still pretty dissatisfied to be honest... mainly with the eyes, limbals and lips. If a feedback thread pops up later on I'll elaborate further there.
