[Graphical Update] Viera Nose

[Empel]

Just trying to help make it heard but yes I was quite disappointed to see it toned down to the point where it's just not visible at all, even if it's just something that happens on darker skin tones like the one displayed it should still be there like it is now as this is just a change rather than a graphical improvement.

I play Viera and I love the new nose, it seems like they made it more human-like which I really like as they look more natural, I hope they don't revert the changes.


In the worst case scenario they could give us both options because it's not fair to miss the opportunity of better looks.

They are a race of bunny-people, how is a "more human-like" nose "more natural"? They aren't humans XD

Everyone has a different level of threshold as to where the uncanny valley begins for them. What's a unique and interesting feature to one person can put a design deep into the uncanny valley for another. It's not a logical or informed thing, just subconscious.

Some people are weirded out by your typical catboy/catgirl design not having ears where humans got them, some people are weirded out by more bestial designs like the Hrothgar, some people are super distracted by the Elezen's long necks. Others are not. And by the same token some people may find the nose discolouration weird or distracting. Nothing really to argue about, it's just how people feel about it subconsciously. Which again is why the nose discolouration should be an optional toggle, with the default being switched on so that characters after the update look as close to what they looked to prior as possible.

And everyone who enjoys a less bunnny-like nose can then use their free fantasia to turn it off.

This is my first post here, I just had to come on and add my voice. Please don't take muh bunny nose! We didn't suffer years of hatlessness to look like the more Human-like races.

This is also my first post on the forum. I want to say how much I love my Viera's bunny nose and don't want to lose it. Our Viera noses are a very cute feature and add to the uniqueness of the race. Please let us keep our bunny noses! Thank you

Adding my voice to the chorus of despair over bunny noses. Please don’t take the bunny nose! It was the only thing about the graphics update I was disappointed to see!

To be honest, I was a little against the graphical update at first... But after looking at the two models I have to admit, the new updated version looks prettier overall.

I will have to wait until I can actually see these "changes" on my own Viera before judging. I am glad they are planning on giving us all a free Fantasia to play with all the new graphics customization.

Not gonna lie that I am a little excited after thinking about it for a bit.

I will be so sad if Viera lose their cute lil bunny nose ;; Don't take away the unique features of these races with animal attributes/features; that makes no sense! If we wanted to play one of the races without horns or tails or bunny ears, we would have.

I hope they add something to allow for this in the updates. I think it would be nice if they had the option to toggle it on or off. That way those who want to keep it can do so and those who don't can have what they want too. More options are always better in Character Creators!

Making my first post just to express my dissatisfaction regarding the female viera nose update. I don't mind if you can toggle that in character creator but the bunny type of nose is a core visual feature for viera. The human nose feels too odd on them. Viera are already lack other features from their original concept. Like their feet being just basic human feet. But I get it, old game, spaghetti code and all that, but the nose was such a tiny, simple yet very impactful feature. If devs are reading this please revert this change.
