I spent some time on the benchmark character creation. I feel both eyes and hair are too dark generally.
I think they did a great job of upgrading the system and lighting without getting into the Pandora's Box of trying to suit everyone's preferences. There are people who still prefer the slightly scuffed 1.0 to current FFXIV. You know there are people who will prefer the old looks, even if they're scuffed by comparison to the new.
The only "solution," such that it is one, would be doing something like WoW did and allow people to toggle off the new and go with the old scuffed.
I'm glad I wasn't the only one who spent hours in the benchmark
Why dont they make lighting 2 the default one? I don't understand.
You skipped male Highlander 🙁 I know they are ugly but did they deserve to be skipped.
Some of the FFXIV community whines and complains about content without even trying it and it is tiring. "Try it before you judge it," is NOT new. Some of you act like it is. Please start thinking for yourselves, you can tell them apart just the way the describe AAR, all the same exact words are used, "It gets better." Try to think of your own words to describe stuff. But nope, some will continue to whine and cry about content they have not even tried out yet.
and then there's us poor console trash who can't even see our characters until dawntrail launch :c
The Midlanders look almost real compared to a "cartoonish" version.
Opened the video, looked at the timestamps: No Roegadyn. Makes sense, can't improve upon perfection.
No Fem Roes. Unwatchable.
I do feel like the eyes got a bit darker. I prefer the brighter anime eyes, but overall, they've fixed almost all of my complaints about the first benchmark.
…Except face paint. Face paint still looks like ass.
I was pretty worried about the graphics update with the first benchmark. Honestly, the lighting really did make the models look pretty bad.
But after this update, all my worries are gone. It looks soo good.
I'm not a big fan of how my limbal rings look now but the eyes under them are a lot prettier. I don't think I'll need a fantasia just the aesthetician.
Where can i download the new benchmark?
I can't wait to see my potato to be more potatoish with update.
They got the fog in the benchmark, now the 3d space in the map can be felt.
My femra 4 also got tweaked. look far nicer than before
-cheek got fuller
-the corner of the lips got smoothen. Not too indent/concave
-the eyelids got the current live expression than benchmark 1.0.
-nose shape also got tweaked.
I'm satisfied with the current my femra face 4.
Like my resub said, I changed to bun until Dawntrail and will choose between that and my original Au Ra to continue the journey. 💜 love seeing all the updates!
Overall I think this looks so much better than the previous benchmark. My main issue is still just weird lips. Like they don't have enough depth and contrast, and they've lost some of their unique quirks, esp on fem Viera and Au Ra. The rest is great, though, and hopefully they will still make a few changes to the models over the next few months.
Has Zepla ever played any Ff games aside from FF14? I know a lot of FF14 players haven’t experienced anything else so I’m just curious.
fem aura face 4 mouth 1 the lower lip still looks to big which rly gets to me
Bun nosies safe….
we can rest easy now.<3
I was just so grateful as a lala to get my dark nose back (bc it was near invisible on dark skin) and she had her lips!!! This benchmark was insanely better
Looks so much better imo, dark skin characters are feasting right now loving how great character looks
Imagine Haurchefant and Aymeric with the new Elezen looks. Plus I'm really excited to see Shtola.
I really hope this graphical update brings in more Elezen players, especially Duskwights.
