Updated benchmark

Guys did you know that if you leave feedback that the devs asked for and they don't do anything with it then there's nothing you can do about it? I mean, I sure couldn't have figured that out. Thanks God there are so many good samaritans out here with the mental health of strangers in mind taking time out of their busy days to point out this extremely nuanced, esoteric bit of knowledge over and over again. Truly we'd be lost without them.

I just imagined you sitting there hitting enter on that post like

That really is how I look when I browse the feedback threads day after day looking for posts I can respond to insinuating that I think the feedback is futile. It's a perfect likeness, you really have a vibrant imagination.

"Even so, we imagine the subtle differences in nuance will inevitably cause some characters to look ever so slightly different compared to before. Should that be the case, a phial of Fantasia will be obtainable from a new quest that will be added with the release of Patch 7.0, which will allow you to fine-tune your character's appearance."
A Final Follow-up Regarding the Dawntrail Official Benchmark

But I guess SE isn't a "random guy" as I am, so your statement is correct on that part.


Wait, a new post?
I could've sworn it told me I had reached my daily limit.
Now I'm confused.
Edited out myself in the quote, since that was a mistake, believing I was editing my old post.

You're being very, very polite and constructive and as I see it, you tried to make a reasonable point that slightly differs from the predominantly fear of change and over-attachment to old graphic flaws.
I'm sorry to witness that you're getting rude, passive-aggressive comments in return - as is happening with many such other sane, wise and decent voices. So I just wanted to tell you: Don't take it to heart.

If anything, this benchmark has taught me how small changes to a persons face can really alter my perception of that face. My viera came out ok in the second benchmark, except the lips that are still made into some weird overfilled and stretched shape. I now have the choice of 1.regular and a bit boring mouth, 2.massive overfilled lips, 3. thin lips, 4 smaller overfilled lips with weird cupids bow. In combination with vieras still not having hats I have decided to fantasia to miqo or au ra until vieras actually get hats (somewhere in 10.0 probably).
After chewing on it for a while I am ok. I might hold off on the fantasia for a little bit until Ive ran around with her ingame for a bit. Maybe the lips arent that noticeable in the actual game....still....hats?? *sigh*

Note: I am not saying she is ugly. I think she is really pretty and I can now recognize her as "mine". I just dislike the lipshape.

Might want to link one with a timestamp, makes it easier if you want to show a specific part of a video.
You can do so by right-clicking the video while currently where you want to and select "Copy video URL at current time".

Advice no longer needed.

hi. It turns out that studying Photoshop is still a science. I have some results now, just my character to start with. hyur midlander face 1. It turns out that they changed everything, eyelashes, cheeks, eyebrows, eyes, even the pupil, lips, nose. That's what I got. Now I'm not surprised why I feel like it's a different character. Here are a couple of gifs and photos for you.
Let's start with the nose. The holes of the nose are different, the nose is wider.


the shape of the eyes is different, the pupil is larger.






This is me trying to attach the old nose eyes and lips to the new character. And she looks a lot more like an old character to me.
