Updated benchmark

[Plushy]

Took me a hot minute to find this post again but this user has the updated model, and if you go to the original post and look at their icon, the mouth looks much more similar to the current one instead of the benchmark one. It's a little surprising they didn't mention further changes based off of user feedback in the 7.0 patch notes.

Its because then you would have people thinking x race is getting preferential treatment and you would have people being like "WELL WHAT ABOUT MY HYUR! or MY ELEZEN!" either way...happy for you guys. I like type 4 au ra and their lips did look kinda messed up....now to see what face 4 players will complain about next!(jk but I know there will still be more complaining) because lips was for sure the biggest complaint I seen from them and it was pretty much all over the JP thread.
Tbh...I only defended the changes but the only thing I ACTUALLY want changed is to make the philtrum less prominent. It looks ugly.

You are right, there is quite a difference, I took the liberty of making a really quick comparison. Considering the OG poster was upset about the lips I hope they feel a lot better about it now, the lip shape appears much closer to the original.



It will be very interesting to see how things turn out with Early Access tomorrow in terms of what else has changed since 2nd benchmark.

As the poster of the old "graphics update isn't ready, please make it optional" thread I think it's important to understand that while we might be unhappy about changes, we are not unreasonable. I was mostly satisfied with my character (m!Viera face 3) after the benchmark was updated, so naturally I stopped complaining. It is really that simple, if your feedback is heard and addressed, you will be happy with it. I hope more people will be pleasantly surprised when they log in tomorrow.

If anybody is interested, one of my alts has been updated (it's really random, because many others haven't been) and that's what she looks like.

She is face 4 but I don't remember her exact settings anymore.

I'm not sure if the mouth has been changed after 1.1 in her case. It still seems to have this round "lip filler" look to me, esp. the lower lip? It's a bit hard to tell given the quality.

Either way, I hope it can provide a first glance for those interested.

It's tiny but no, it looks to me like they made no further adjustments since the benchmark. It looks so uncanny and strange to me. My characters whole vibe is different. That's depressing. They got my hopes up with the talk of further adjustments since the benchmark. They turned my character from a tomboy into a doll.

It's really nuts to me how much they changed the whole eye shape too. They're not even tilted at the same angle lol.

Encouraging to hear they're still fine-tuning based on feedback!

There aren't as many people that post for Face 2 Miqo'te but I still hope they adjust the eyebrows.

some of y'all are really getting the microscopes out to critique some of this.
