There has been a few threads made about this issue before and I am honestly not in any hope if they will bring the face back to how it looked considering how the new face is not bad, but it is NOT the same face it was in Endwalker.
I used my fem Hyur character in end of Endwalker until Dawntrail came and I switched back to my male Hyur so at first I did not even check how the fem Hyur face 5 looked and this was a mistake to make cause I only fanta back during 7.1 and the face looked uncanny especially the lips but I couldn't make what actually was missing. I could make out the lower lips didn't blend into the skin like they did before and are just more dense.
But having checked the faces again from Endwalker Benchmark, there is a huge difference to these faces and they are completely different.
It's been 3 patches since the update but the faces are still pretty much different, the eyes for the most part are the same shape. The big glint is missing which takes away the "in awe" expression the face always had, now we have smaller glints - still not a terrible change as compared to the lips, this is where the face completely goes into a different direction.
Endwalker:
Dawntrail:
Endwalker's face 5 had parted lips and that made up for how the whole face looked, this is missing after the update:
But thats not the only missing feature, the lips had detailed ridges in Endwalker while in Dawntrail it is smoothed out:
The lower end of the lower lip had a round vertical shift:
Now the lower part is barely there, instead there is a completely different angle the lip is protruding from, and the edge here barely leaves room for definition in 7.3:
The lower lip was also shorter in length in EW where the rest of the texture on the edges would blend into the skin.
Instead in Dawntrail the fade is very small on the edges and the overall lip is enlarged to fill the whole span.
I am unsure if they will bring back the old facial features, but it would be nice if they were brought back in as additional options at the least if players have already gotten used to the new face.
