What the duck

The thing with illustrations is that it's exactly when they can make the character do things that the game model can't do. Far from setting hopes, it's clearly a case of "look at them doing a cute thing that won't happen in game because their ears don't bend that way".

Well, yeah, but it'd still be nice. There's no harm in discussing a desire for it. Since, y'know, Viera ears are supposed to be this big special thing that prevents hats (which they don't, as RoxlLuikhart keeps on proving).

Nah it's more about the fact that:

It would req a whole new animation + re-edit the model's polycount in the ears;
The ears have quite low polycount.. If they where to rigg them for animation,
they would have to re-edit the ear's polygon count..
- Quite a lot work for just an emote..

That's basically what I said. The ears don't bend that way. It would require additional dedicated work to make the ears bend that way.

Couldn't they just make a version of the emote without the Loporrit ears effect?
On races with ears on the top of their heads it will look like they're playing with them, while it will just look like a cutesy pose/dance move for the other races. （*´▽｀*）

Vieras' hands would probably clip through our ears if they did that (especially the floppy ears), but everything clips in the game anyway.

The hand placement is pretty far out there so it should be fine. （*´▽｀*）
