The only complain I'll have about the benchmark is that for some reason it won't launch no matter what I try, so I can only watch with envy as others get to compare the before/after of their character. At least these vids keep me updated on what I'm missing out on
I'm not hearing anything about the stuff that seems to be the worst. Miquo teeth. Lip shapes that change the persona of the characters. Aura scale model artifacts.
Oooh, someone explained my AuRa face 4 problem nicely. My biggest problem was the lips side shape. it changed quite a bit. Luckily this is not pokemon go.
The thing is all new models are really only one 'new' mesh. So details like the ultra specific look of the scales, some lips and lala maxilars were not re-done. That has nothing to do with the character creation. I hope the team doesn't get overwhelmed and looks at things like the lala teeth on this video so they move the mesh around a bit more.
i feel like its been proven for a long time now that they do indeed listen, its no shock
literally Yoshi P looking at the cry baby community and said "sit."
"Behave now."
I think YoshiP quoted "Lifeless" eyes because that's how a lot of players are describing them and not that he necessarily feels that way.
Justice for auras😂
Just a note here, it's not the actual benchmark that is changing, just the character creator and glitches in models.
Lord, is there any making the FFXIV community happy?? Man everything I hear is always complaints.
Off topic, but what top is Zepla wearing at 1:24?? It looks familiar but I can't place it.
I'm wondering if the Au Ra lips and nose scales will be normal again then? The new lips on face 4 REALLY looks downgraded and felt like it was the mesh that was changed for worse and not really lighting issue + lipstick was worsened too. Regardless I'd still keep playing! Still looks pretty enough, just nerfed.
I'm so amazed that a community that is playing a 500 year old game is so picky about pixels.
It's not just the benchmark though. The changes Yoshi P is talking about will also apply to the in game character creator, so it's important they get it right. In effect, the benchmark is a beta test for the in game character creator, which is the first thing new players see.
ive seen some really bad comparisons where they used different lighting lvls, angles etc that make the feed back look like just trolling. but this is a lot better of have the same screenshots to show the differences.
im glad they are open to fix the character creator and benchmark toon creator.
Where to find the post on 3:08? anyone got the link?
oh found it.
Just a small reminder. The benchmark is essentially a tech demo. So do I think it was scuffed, yes. Do I also believe the community overreacted to the tech demo? Yes.
While it may seem insignificant, the benchmark show cases the new visual upgrade. I think it should show off the best possible look for your character.
God has spoken. The problems ARE real.
So my "Extremely High" was a lie? Why Yoshi P, why?
I like my new miqo so much. I hope that they dont change the things i liked.
Nobody else can see your "imagination", so I want them to nail the characters.
Can we at least all be happy they brought back the 2.x bewb jiggle to clothing items as noted with the Viper AF gear in the trailer? 😅
My character is a midlander so I’ve had zero issues and was confused when I started seeing these videos come up. But then I saw that it was the non human races that were having issues and it made sense.
He didn't agree that the eyes were lifeless or soulless. He used the phrasing that the forums were using so we all know what he's talking about.
The benchmark is a hype tool as much as a preview, and the current one is building too much negative reaction. That's the core reason for the rebuild. Of course they're listening regardless, but the benchmark 2.0 is because of the negative reactions.
30:05 Literally every single time I try to custom make a character in Mass Effect / Fallout / Elder Scrolls. Always have to tweak something.
Will there be a benchmark to see if the new benchmark will run on my PC? the old new benchmark ran fine but not sure about the new new benchmark with it's added shaders? Also, are mods available on the Benchmark? will the new benchmark break mods on the old new benchmark ? sorry for noob question I am new to old new and new new bencmark ffxiv 14
Why did it take me 5 minutes to realize Zepla was saying bunchmark on purpose😅
11:10 from shader perspective, those are the same gloss. Just different glossiness on one material (face) controlled by a texture map to tell which part is more or less gloss (which could also be later adapted following certain condition like being wet).
They already had the glossiness map in the past. They wouldn't just take that away. The problem here is that with the new way to represent the material, the glossiness didn't showed at all.
You look at the character creation and then look back at the 14 hours stream where he show a dungeon wet floor. This update is capable of display a very detailed glossiness than before, but that would require a high detail lighting and environment, which is not present in the old graphics and the character creator.
My literal thoughts of the benchmark was omg this is sooo much better than the base game i no longer meed hd texture mods as much. Hope they fix certain issues like the eyes for the actual release. Cant wait.
But people got carried away. The benchmark was supposed to be a tech demo test. The fact he even had to address this is crazy to me. We dont deserve yoshi p
6:30 Reminds me of the scene in Loki: "Is this more important than preventing a Temporal Loom meltdown" (paraphrasing the quote).
We all appreciate how attentive YoshiP is to addressing issues. But to those demanding some of these changes….realize you are causing this amazing man so much stress over five effing white pixels in an eyeball. Seriously. For one second, sit outside of yourself and really look at this situation. My god.
Could absolutely believe that it's breaking our "imagination" filter, and we need to wait for a mental update.
Would also explain why we can't see the described issues when looking at other peoples characters, or when others look at ours.
Folks care way too much about inconsequential nonsense
I think people should chill out about the benchmark, it's a benchmark. It's purpose is only to test out your gear, it's not a demo. I think that's what people are getting confused about.
I may be crazy but I think a lot of the 14 community are spoiled and entitled. The bench looked fine for what the goal was, testing computers. And the lala teeth look more like real teeth imo
I just want better color options for eyes and lips. More vibrant options, moreso for lips in this regard. I swear every lip color is very diluted. I can't have a red lip matching my character, it's like…. red/pink or on the complete opposite end where it's both too dark and also just weird shades in general
Awesome. Now remake the game with UE 5
They did such a great job with the update people need to chill lol.
i mean the bench mark was just a demo its not gonna be the finale product it is handy for getting a view pointers from the player base i do think there where to manny poeple that thought the benchmark was gonna be a preview of the final product.
