Looks completely fine to me...better than you get from most JRPGs in terms of standard NPCs. I know it's personal preference, but man, I really hope the game can shake the whole "dead faces" stigma by launch because it looks so much better every time we see it, and every time I show the game to friends (I do it a lot, I'm annoying like that) they don't even comment on the faces at all. When I told my work mate just then that people are obsessed with the models and faces he did not get it at all. And neither do I.
