So it’s not just me wonder who the hell the face models are for the Tantas! I’ve searched high and low and all I can find are the voice actors but they don’t really resemble what their in game counterparts look like. For me especially Cintas face looks strangely generic kinda like Audens something a lil uncanny. Personally as a head canon I image Cinta to look like Rana McAnear (Samara from Mass Effect) with just brown hair lol

I think their mo-cap actresses are listed in the credits, but I could be wrong. It's also possible they used a single mo-cap actor for everyone except Frey (who I'm 99% sure was mo-capped by Ella?) and just used different face models on the rigs. I'm way less versed in motion capture animation than I am with hand-drawn animation or 3D modeled animation, so idk if it even works like that.

I wish Olas looked more like her VA, Claudia Black. I mean, look at her:

But yeah, like, the diversity of faces in this game is wonderful. Absolutely no same-face syndrome, and you can tell everyone was designed to look like an actual human person and not eye candy :D I think most of the uncanny valley comes from the (unfortunately) unpolished animation. I feel like the cutscene animation got a lot less love than the combat animation. Which is understandable, we're gonna be spending more time in combat than in cutscenes, but the cutscene animation is definitely my biggest gripe just because it's mildly heebie-jeebie inducing
