The character creation system is worse than Nioh 2

[Water SUCC Doge]

The graphic is improved, but the character creation system is somehow worse than Nioh 2. The body and face look very weird, especially female's chest. Even with -20 torso, the body still be fatter than NPCs. Also, some face textures are mismatched with the body texture which is very strange. No matter how hard you try to create your character, you will always be uglier than NPCs. The only time you look pretty is when you're in the cutscenes which is very disappointing.

dude who cares? You spend maybe 1% of the the time looking at your character.

The problem is it should be improved, not being worse than the previous game. I know some people don't give a jerk on creating character, but if the system existed, why couldn't I (or maybe some other people) be bothered with it?

She looks like she weighs about 70 lbs or less at the smallest size, but okay.

There's no seam between the face and neck with the different combinations, so that's actually not the case. With that said, if you have a rougher body texture, you want to choose a facial texture to compliment it.

The character model is no different in cutscenes. The shadow resolution increases, and you might be treated to better lighting, but it's exactly the same...

No matter how hard you try to create your character, you will always be uglier than NPCs.

Let's see your character.

Character creation should be at least on par with nioh 2 as this is just another iteration of the same engine, there is no reason to have a worse character creation but hey
people will defend anything nowadays, or maybe they always did and the stoopid is just starting to surface with the always online access.

Sounds like my own skill issue then, but I admitted I'm not much good at this lol.
About the mismatching texture, the problem is the body texture is too rough and can't be customized (In Nioh 2 you can't custom a body texture too, but it's smoother than this one.), so I expect it to be customizable or at least make it smoother whatever.

All true.

I opened the Nioh 2 character creator today to see what it was like and it's so much better.

Dang, so.. based on previous titles, creation here really could've had more options? I'd've liked to have this.

After my first playthrough, I thought this too at first. Upon replaying and trying a new character, I found I missed an option to add more pores to my facial skin texture. It looked odd being in cutscenes next to Yuan Jin whose face was full of sweat and dirty pores meanwhile I appeared like an angel.

Here's the first preset I selected; just added Elf Ears.

Here's one of my later characters with more pores in her face.

It's all about lighting. The harsh reality's that we won't always get the pretty model lighting outside the character creator at all times. You have options to emulate it in Photomode, but in-game... ya gotta cut your losses. Learned this in Phantasy Star online(s) a long time ago lol.

Here's some lighting samples.

This is the kind of mindset that ruins games. "Who cares". If nobody cared then the character creation wouldn't be so in depth in the first place. You're a joke.
