Thread: Benchmark 1.1 Feedback: Lalafell

Their lip sizes have been reduced which I don't like- I chose mouth 2 on Lalafell but in the benchmark, any uniqueness that mouth 2 had isn't present.
I hope the designers fix this & give lalas back their top lips & lip fullness they originally had.

You can also see the differences in the Eyes- the eyeshadow in the benchmark has been lightened but it also doesn't look great- Imo it needs to be better blended & less patchy

Here is my thread detailing those issues, but I'll also post here
https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/...-still-reduced

The lighting/ highlight in their eyes is hazy & not as crisp as it was in the 1st DT benchmark & their lashes appear shorter(?) - So, I hope that's something looked into & fixed;
-amongst lip size adjustments, body/skin seams & other things

Things I hope to see fixed:
- Lip sizes made fuller as original
- Eyelashes extended
- Eye highlight made more crisp
- Belly button, please give this back lol

With that being said, I don't expect an exact 1 to 1 comparison; as it's meant to be an upgrade.
I do like some things but removing, toning down or "nerfing" certain features just takes away any uniqueness.
While some things that were toned back are good, shrinking lip sizes & eyelashes isn't one of them.

To add to the other posts, there is also a notable flickering issue on certain faces and ears.

Due to it being a flickering issue, I have captured a video and have included a slowed version of it.

This was recorded on maximum settings on PC in the 1.1 Benchmark, the flickering was not present in the 1.0 Benchmark. This is of my Dunesfolk, with the Face type 1.

To add onto this, I did also post on the JP thread but certain hairstyles have not been fully updated and they look jarring, the meshes have not been resculpted to fit the new head models, or texture and/or materials have not been updated on them or fully. With a particular hairstyle as an example: the fringe is updated, but the main body on that and the version without the fringe have not been updated.



One of the worst offenders though, is certain racial hair looking SO blurry!



Absolutely shocking. Would prefer a delay for the graphics update if it is to be completed to this current particular standard. I also particularly dislike how flat the Dunesfolk eyes are currently looking, regardless of whatever specular or reflections they're using at the moment, the eyes just look horrid and matte.

Hope they do fix the eyes on release, my Nanako's eyes look too dark ; u ;
