When I was browsing (former) Twitter, I stumbled upon this post:

According to this post, Viera 3 mouth shape was corrected a little bit and became closer to the original one. Well, at least someone is happy.

P.S. Male Midlander, face 2 (mouth, nose, skin texture):

I really hope and pray a dev sees this post, cause the pants for Hakama #55 and the entire set are very much a different color from what they used to be. This wouldn't be a problem if it was dyable but still my outfit was all the same shade of black but now the pants are like a brownish black. I don't mind graphic updates but those pants did not need them.

I'm surprised they improved the graphics of this set but then didn't add dye channels. It's a bleak prospect if they do this to stuff like old Alliance raid gear because it means they will not bother to make many other undyeable pieces dyeable.

One thing that's really bothered me since Dawntrail launch that I was lowkey hoping would get fixed on its own is the color of fem Keeper face 1's clanmarks. Before Dawntrail the clanmarks were all grey, now the majority of them are a more saturated purple (except for the big one on the cheeks).

Pre-Dawntrail:


Dawntrail:


I know her bangs are obscuring the forehead ones here but I don't have any pre-DT images of her without bangs and didn't quite feel like going to the aesthetician to change her hair just for this post, but the cheek ones are very clearly on display. I really hope this can be adjusted in a future update.

They are blury all over their bodies 50% of the time, depending on where your camera is.

Nothing blurry here, that's your graphics settings

Au Ra face 4 is still unchanged. The same duck mouth...

It seems, they changed the lighting slightly. But the wrong normal maps are still there.

Please fix the creepy eyelids so that we don't look like serial killers at low angles.

Texture tiling on the ground of Northern Thanalan is bad, like... REALLY bad.

Still no fix for this.

i still remember the first time you posted about this, and i still remember agreeing with your complaints. it is genuinely insane how bad these lips still are and how it's been over a year and nothing has changed

i'm genuinely starting to lose hope. it's exhausting to have to go through the 7 stages of grief every single time they announce updates. like just... it's so obvious what needs fixing? it's so obvious from feedback what people are dissatisfied with, it feels like they just do not care and i'm so sick of all of it
