It makes sense in those scenes, since your character is being lit partially from the light that's bouncing off of the oscean.

Shouldn't everyone's screenshot of that moment be green, then?

That depends on the characters skin tone. The paler you are the more apparent it is.

Unrelated - the only issue I see now is how the hair doesn't attach to most of the characters heads anymore. Its floating. That definitely needs to be fixed.

How is their skin tone making the barrel in the background green?





I'm reasonably pale but me and my barrel look less green.

I'm pretty happy with the updates, but I do have one problem with the new character creator: Give us back the different times of day lighting (golden hour thanalan, morning light La Noscea, etc)! Now it's just midday or night and for anyone who is super pale/has white hair that's the least useful lighting since my little lizard is just literally glowing. It's a problem that's already in game but its just specific to midday clear weather lighting and like every other time is fine. I always used the Thanalan setting before because it replicated golden hour.

I am glad they otherwise did some major corrections, though.

There are still differences between 6.58 and BMv1.1 but overall I'm satisfied with the changes. These screenshots all use the same face options but I was pretty happy after messing around with the updated options a bit. I feel like I was finally able to create my lizard as she appears in my mind's eye, in a way that even the existing character creator doesn't allow me to.

Miqo'te face 4 and eye shape 3 are still off. The entire face looks shortened, which makes him look like a different person. Other parts are nose 1, and mouth 4. He looks rounded when he should be more angular.

Edit: After looking a little more back and forth, the nose is not only smaller, but if you look at where the eyebrows and nose connect, they are not in the same position.

My bunboy looks very soft and cute again, I'm happy!

(And kind of in disbelief that so many people tried to tell me he looked exactly the same in the first benchmark...)
