Yeah, he has a manlier face now, which is something I appreciate. I also hate him less now, even if he still looks obnoxious lol. His hair makes him way too similar to Cloud, though...
And regarding that, the same goes for Noctis I think, he has darker and less delicate features than before. Or maybe I'm imagining things xD. Now, if only his hair were less goofy...
And oh, since I was just browsing GAF:
The difference is HUGE. Even bigger than I remembered. Not only the face or the hair, but the clothes: before, they were too bland and simple, now they look like they're made from actual materials, with those reflections, the fluffiness of it, the clearer details...
And it seems somewhat interactive now: when he moves his head around his neck, it doesn't clip through the collar, but moves it in a realistic way. So, so good, SE really need an engine like this, so hopefully it's as good as it seems to be.
