  1. I'll be honest I don't care for the look of the Hrothgar females. The males look good, but something just looks off about the female model. for one the head looked kind of small on the body. A cat's head is usually large enough that it if doesn't fit through an opening the rest of it's body wont either. It's like a witch doctor shrunk their head. lol

  2. I definitely think the clincher on the femme Hroths is gonna be the hair – they’ve absolutely gone for showing shaggier hairstyles, and I’ll be SO excited to see how they look with something more soft

    Excited so far though for sure!!!

  3. I don't why for some reason they didn't want to show what all the au ra faces look like under this update, they didn't really show what dark/blue horns look like with the new graphics update unless you want to count the female au ra wearing the gnb level 100 gear. Over all I at least hope by Japan fanfest we would have seen all types of faces instead of showing mostly the same ones from NA and EU fanfest. I really cannot unsee the new au ra scales look more 2d than the one from older model. The improvements overall look nice but it does make me a bit worry for other faces we still have not seen.

  4. the change to the elzen eyes are also where she is looking. The focal point is different. one of the problems with the dead eye'd femzen was where the eyes were looking. Straight ahead w/o really "seeing the world". The new model appears to actually be looking at something.

  5. The dark skin improvement is fantastic because this game really did a roughjob with dark skin tones. It was always just a totally matte skin tone so in any dark scene they'd be almost invisible. The scene in shadowbringers when you return from the first in the infirmary and SO many scenes in Endwalker were so bad

  6. As someone who plays an Au'Ra Female I am super impressed with the changes! I am so in love with how they look now and they are very beautiful with all the details from the example they showed us!

  7. The limbal ring is a must if you want to change your eye color. I love it. You can have brown, black, blue, green, purple just by changing the ring and that you can do at the bell. I started as Aura and switched to Cat girl but I miss my Dragon girl eyes. I may have to use my Christmas sale Fantasia… lol
    They all look beautiful! thanks for sharing.

  8. Think my biggest gripe with the hrothgar updates is that the skin no longer looks like skin. The lips and the nose should have specular highlights and look glossy. Never seen a cat (or a dog) whose lips and nose are covered in a light peach fuzz. I think that'd go a long way to improve the looks of Hrothgar.

  9. I think the darker skin color is true I had a viera and wanted to darker than I was at some point. In creator it was fine but then often in game it just wasn’t as good with the lighting I couldn’t see certain stuff and I didn’t understand what the problem was so this is good

  10. The graphics update and the dye channels are very exciting for me, I'm a sucker for glam and spend way too much time already making glams so this is great. The hair and eyes is a huge inprovement and glad darker skin tones look so much better in-game as well.

  11. Female Elezen was the big winner. If they mess up my particular Viera's face at least I have a backup race now. I mostly don't like the female Viera on the right she looks kind of ugly now.

  12. As a player with 7 of my 8 toons being Viera males, I really don't want to lose the bunny nose. It is one of my favorite things. It looks diminished in this example so I wait with bated breath. Overall the changes are so amazing and having depth to the eyes have made all of the races look so much more realistic and given them emotional depth. Looks like another playthrough of the story!

  13. I'm happy with all of the changes shown here- but I have noticed a few things. Most of the models have less noticeable eyebrows and some of the lips (Roe female and Aura female for example) have less contrast. I guess everything is still a work in progress. Once the graphical update is complete, I am looking forward to seeing more character customization. I am excited for the model upgrade on all of our characters 🙂
