  1. I think the main thing is that FF14 explicitly didn't change the player models too much to avoid people hating their new characters. I think they could have upped the graphical fidelity a lot on all races if they really needed to, but it'd be at a risk of changing how people saw their characters. WoW changed their character models and I know a decent amount of people saw the new orc/etc models and thought they looked a lot goofier than the old models and didn't really like the change.

  2. I think if they'd update the hair properly and fix all the animation to not have as many hover hands it would be totally fine. If you look at the new models it's really just the hair quality downgrading it.

  3. the main changes are the eyes and hair texture
    also eye has noticeable depth now

    while skin may look almost the same, but a very slight upgrade
    but Yoship did mention the upgrade on the video is not final and he said to expect to have more resolution in the final game

  4. the biggest update is in the lighting and shading of the environments and how those affect your character,
    people often heavily underestimate just how big of an influence "good lighting" is, to making a game look good

  5. The Roe, Elezen, Au Ra and Hrothgar face shadings really pop.
    Great to have more reflective light to the eyes. Not overwhelming but still a good start, yet there is always potential.
    And it's great to finally have no more grey filter on your hair.

    EDIT: AS it comes to realistic expectations, people sure have problems measuring them but to each their own 🤢

  6. They did improve it but you probably wouldn’t notice if they didn’t tell you. If Blizzard promised a graphical overhaul and changed the lighting a bit they’d get roasted but it’s FF so great job Yoshi P! 😂🤷🏼‍♀️

  7. It was really underwhelming change. Hopefully it will look a lot better ingame with all the new lighting and shadows because it looked way better in the first presentation screenshots which had shadows.

  8. History has shown that a big graphical change in an MMO is a bad idea, people get inraged (in particular in FFXIV where your look is important to a lot of people)
    Honestly I'm satisfied with the face update.
    But a lot of improvement will be in shader and environment

  9. I expected this and I'm honestly more happier than if they did a total overhaul, most of us mmo people are attached to our characters and for them to "drastically change" might do more harm than good, so this more high poly smoother faces imo is better than say if they went and upgrade to bdo graphics.

    NOW the REAAAAL question is if they updated their feet from boxes to actual feet model.

  10. The biggest noticeable difference, is the fact that you no longer can see pixels on the hair and eyebrows 😅

    Though Au Ra got a massive improvement as well with their horns now noticeably in higher quality

  11. Eyes are the biggest improvement, instead of being painted on the face they get actual depth and shine to them, adding some life and personality to them.
