Dawntrail character graphics update - opinions, requests and discussion megathread

posting an image from this thread which highlights an issue with current face 1 male viera, where the nose smudge face option is a weird brownish colour, while before it was just darker than the chosen skin colour. it looks fine on lighter and brown skintones, but looks very odd on darker and more greyish ones. i'd like to see it reverted to the previous colour if possible :')

Nothing about those two faces are the same.

I want to thank everyone for the detailed feedback they've been providing. With me, I could tell Square Enix was in the ballpark but couldn't articulate what was "off."

It's my hope we will see a new update to the character models by the end of August. Players deserve nothing less than excellent work from the developers.

When did they say they would make an announcement regarding the graphic updates? I remember seeing an official message from a GM here, but cannot find it.

It was quoted on the previous page. The rep said to expect an announcement in "late August", so the time is nigh.

It would be nice if they pushed all character updates to the benchmark instead of the live game first so they can get more feedback if things aren’t there yet. The people who care will go look and they wouldn’t need to worry about fantasias every time.

If they do that with the next update, the unfortunate thing is that we can't check all the wonky emotes so I don't trust the small amount that we can see in the benchmark alone.

Yeah I had my gripes with the jank from the graphical update to just the face models , but my goodness the emote jank going through MSQ and such was even worse of a surprise...

We would like to thank everyone for their feedback regarding the graphical update.
The Development team has been carefully reviewing this thread and many others, including bug reports and concerns raised outside of the official forums.

We are currently working on an update based on the feedback provided, as well as preparing to share details about our planned course of action.
As these are undergoing thorough final inspections, we expect to make an announcement in late August.

Thank you all for your patience as we continue fine-tuning the graphical update.

The Development team is currently still carefully reviewing all feedback and considering a planned course of action. However, we will require another week or so for translations before we make an official announcement.
We apologize that this is taking longer than expected, and we thank you all once again for your patience.

Please take all the time that you need. I think most people would much rather have this be a lengthy process that makes as many people happy as possible than something hastily put out.

Thank you for the update. I'm still grateful to know some kind of communication and possible action is on its way.
