I am hoping that CL will get enough other priorities out of the way that they can focus on finishing the P5 characters. I think they, like the product, were released prematurely, and the bugs in the code demanded immediate attention, so the libraries went begging. That said, I have to agree that the Face room offers an extraordinary tool for individualizing faces. If you reduce the exaggeration settings, you can quickly create a handful of people less similar than siblings by just hitting the randomizer button. Once you get the hang of the anatomical terminology, the P5 face (a "unimesh" that predates V3/M3, by the way) is extraordinarily versatile. Like so much of P5, the Face room suffers from a "when she was bad, she was horrid" syndrome. Forget the photograph lineup, and don't even think of using the texture maker. Morph Putty is so clumsy it will drive you bananas. But the face morph dials are an asset that for some overshadows the shortcomings of the rest. Don is not M3. Surprise. He also doesn't cost $100+ with nothing to wear. And a Subaru Forester is not a Hummer, but it's a pretty darn good car for the rest of us. Get over it, folks.
