Thread: New Benchmark Feedback: Male Miqote Lips

Please change the Male Miqo'te lips to how they are before the graphics update. The expression and lips size is off.

They really messed up the face 1 lips too.

It's like they gave the wrong mouth to each face

Bringing this over from the other thread I posted in - while I wasn't super happy with how my miqo looked like in the previous Benchmark, it was definitely closer to his current look than whatever the updated Benchmark turned him into.

Endwalker Benchmark/actual in-game look

Dawntrail Benchmark 1.0

New Dawntrail Benchmark

I mean personally i like the slight smile for the face. Cured my catboy's RBF

Major changes should have been new options though.

agreed, this should have been made toggleable or a new mouth option entirely imo. the lip changes are pretty drastic and make a big change in a character's base expression.

They didn't do a lot of forward thinking when they rebuilt the game's engine for 2.0's release. Ironically.

If they can't add new options, they shouldn't be eliminating the old ones with the graphics update.

But also midlander Hyur men got a new face option relatively recently, so i'm sure it's possible, just a pain in the ass.

All i can guess is that the options they have is constrained to the literal bits. Which should mean that if there is 5 options, then there is at least room for 3 more. 4 options and it's probably capped.

My impression is that they have room to add new faces entirely, but not more options for the same faces.
