My personal observation is that this claim of more natural expression due to Face bones is more marketing hype than reality. This includes claims made about G3 or pauline
The people who state this Never have any actual comparsion examples to show the alleged "superiority" of face bones for expressions and certainly not for animated lipsync.
Which to me is a clear indicator that they are simply parroting something they saw others say/post in various forums.
Face bones Might be useful if you plan to export your Poser or DAZ figure as FBX to another program or game engine and plan to MANUALLY animate lipsync and facial expressions in those other platforms.
For Cross platform, talking characters,however you do NOT actually need a boned face rig as there are professional software solutions to implement lipsync across various platforms with various Figure rigs as Demontrated in this 7 minute Demo Video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cxG3UdbZIKU
