It's been a big thing on reddit

 

 

People have been going around claiming that KH2.8, specifically the 0.2 stuff, has received a major graphical update since E3. This is not the case, however, and if you notice from the image above you probably know why. What people have been doing is comparing off-camera footage of the demo, and the TGS demo looks a fair bit darker. However, recording a TV screen captures imperfect colour, only TRAILERS are true indicators of the graphics. People are taking this darker screen and interpreting it asa major graphical improvement. It's not.

 

KH2.8 HAS received some graphical tweaks. If you look at Riku and Kairi you'll see the detailing on their models, particularly the hair, has changed since E3. However, don't let this trick you into seeing upgrades where there are none.

 

That's all, have a nice day everyone.

 

But that doesn't change the derpiness of Terra's face though does it? clearly, there's been more than just a contrast change with the TGS footage...

his face is in a slightly different position because it's a different frame of animation from the scene, and the E3 footage is wider due to the angle of the TV. Look at each individual element and you can see it's the same. The eyebrows are the same, the pieces of hair are the same. The model is all the same.

But an angle of a TV doesn't change what a model looks like. The formation of the facial features are definitely different. There's no question about it.

Am I the only one who thinks he still looks ugly despite the tweak?

Nah, it has actually been upgraded(through lighting that is). Look, comparing TV footage from TGS to the E3 trailer in HD.

Aqua's color scheme (eyes and skin particularly) looks a lot more natural. You can also see changes in her face, her traits seem more defined. That's probably due to the lighting changes. Even the shape of her eyes looks better. I've watched footage from both events and I've noticed that in the TGS version, you can actually see a bit more emotion in Aqua's face since her traits are more defined. The shape of Terra's eyes and his appearance in general is also drastically different from E3 and people who've played the TGS version + people who've played the E3 version have said so. Also, if you look at the footage captured directly from the PS4 at EGX by Playstation access, you'll notice the coloring and lighting in the game has changed.
