    Still don't quite get why they opted to redesign certain facial features. Up the polygon count and replace the shaders, rework the textures to higher resolution.

    Instead they opted to change the art-style a little, going for more realistic eyes rather than the high contrast stylized ones we have had for 6 expansions now.

    We were promised an update of graphics quality, but instead many, many features were changed entirely. In a lot of cases we lost unique details that gave personality to a face in exchange for generic "Soft, rounded, cutesy" features. Almost every female lip is just "Heart shape" and even quite a few males too. Likewise for a lot of other features too.

    And then you have issues like the Male Viera face 1 dark nose going from black to brown and looking Lighter than the darker skin tones.
