I don't play Lala so maybe I'm wrong but I don't think their smiles were ever this creepy, the only edit I did was cropping to avoid spoiler text.

I just want this game to be PLAYABLE AGAIN!!!i wasn't been able to log into game because of CRITICAL DIRECTX ERROR and nobody can fix it. Until this update everything was working PERFECTLY. I want this back!!!!

Soo, this is what happened to my Au Ra... not really sure where to go from here because the changes are pretty massive imo. I already adjusted some colors here, especially lip color which was way too dark in the original 7.0 version. Also emotes and some cutscenes seem a little off now. A lot of expressions feel dulled down compared to 6.5.

This au ra mouth in particular is probably the most egregious example of the mouth shape changes across the board. I don't understand how people can't see the difference. The other changes are significant too, but that stands out to me the most.

I'm genuinely envious of everybody else's characters because the mouth change is the only thing that I cannot get used to. It looks completely different for no reason and it affects all of the emotes too. Just so heartbroken right now. If they wanted to change the mouth this drastically then why not just add the new one as an option in character creation?

Thats the thing that puzzles me the most about all of this. Why did they feel the need to change mouth and eye shapes at all? Or the noses on Roes? They could have just improved shaders and texture detail and called it a day. Or as you said, add them as additional options. Its not like we have a ton of options in the first place.

Been playing through the MSQ on a new character, and Papalymo is still rocking his old self.
Needless to say, he stands out with his blurry, blocky, washed-out face and corners everywhere.

The upgrade was the best thing to happen to this game, and people got a free Fantasia to make adjustments.

You can't use fantasia to adjust it back to your character though.
A fantasia won't give me back my character.
