Gotta say in contrary to most here I very much dislike the Lan Di model for Shenmue III. He just doesn`t look like Lan Di at all to me. He looks like a random dude with a pigtail weirdly attached to his normal hair.

Thinks I`d change:

-Jawline should be wider.
-hair at the top should be flatter (which is natural when you tie your hair up)
-eyes don`t look menacing/cold at all (he looks a bit sad)
-eye brows should be thicker
-whole face should be wider
-hair where his pigtail starts look very weird (should be slimmer because of how the hair is tied up)
-body looks too buff over all

But all this I already mentioned on the trailer he was featured in. I had the same thought there as well and I don`t think he improved at all. Especially the hair looks embarrassingly bad.


EDIT:

Here a quick comparison:

Sorry but the new Lan Di looks waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better!!
Don't get me wrong, i love the shenmue 1 and 2 one, but this new model is way better.

The left one I don`t want to be in the same room with, the right one I`d drink tea with... The guy looks sad quite frankly.

The new one is 10 times better in my opinion.

I`m sorry but repeating the same thing is not bringing anything meaningful to this discussion.

I can't wait to beat the shit out of Lan Di. If given the option, I'm going to kill him on the spot. Fuck all the moral lessons, Ryo will get his revenge. That QTE where I take his head off will be better than sex itself.

Have you learned nothing from the Four Wude?!

Your image on the right is squished...
 
I'm fucking impressed! I think always repeat myself but, with each every new pic, I see a lot of improvement! I'm fucking glad to see how beautiful looks Shenmue 3.

Lan Di is just astonishing, full of detail, very complex geometry and just look at the textures of the clothes...it has improved a lot from the proffecy trailer.
I can see an enhance in the backgrounds, light, textures, reflections...everything look just perfect, AAA level IMO.

I'm very curious to see all these marvels in movement, I want to see the animation.

Alright, so not much more info, except that they are indeed generic. So no licensed materials in there. It looks like a character holding some sort of katana sword maybe? Theres definitely an axe of some kind there too. In the other, its a little hard to make out, but with the colours, perhaps just generic vehicles, which we have seen in

Looks like a dude holding a fire extinguisher to me.
 
Yeah I see the fire extinguisher man too.

At first I thought they were like... bootleg Virtua Fighter characters, and thought how amazingly appropriate that would be for a toy machine in mainland China. They already played with the bootleg angle in Hong Kong with the lighters too!

It was a screen capture from the DC version in 4:3 but in HD through emulator I think. Seemed to be accurate to me.

I also want to clarify that my issues have nothing to do with the graphics. The game, especially considering the budget seems to have great graphics but the aesthetics of some character models bug me.
 
The new lan di looks younger for some reason, although by no means bad. Also I think they've made him a bit too muscular, but I'm just nitpicking at this stage...

Massive capsules in the machine... are they pokeballs or something :p

I think what you mean to say is, he looks more realistic. The Lan Di on the left looks more human to me the Lan Di on the right is old graphics, so of course he's gonna look different. You can't have Shenmue III on current gen systems and expect square flat textured graphics just so it looks like DC Shenmue.
