[Graphical Update] Viera Nose

[ICASCAI]

I concur please my Bunny nose I enjoy it a lot as a "POC" player it really fits with me and hope you take our concerns into consideration
I cannot have my Female Viera Nose not have her shape. if its an optional toggle then its perfectly fine with me , hopefully this can be addressed or clarified in live letter ♥

I hope so too; it's such a good feature and makes viera interesting - it helps darker tones stand out and gives a proper semi-beast race feel

Save Viera Noses! They need to stay!

i certainly wouldn't mind having a nice straight angular nose as a viera. but i don't see the harm in preserving the more flat bunny noses while also having other shapes available too

I've only read about the first 7 pages of this thread but I want to be another Viera player to cast my thoughts in on this, as I do main one. (Edit: I went back and read the rest of the thread)

For the Male Viera: I don't know if the graphics update preview showing Face 1 with the nose darken toggle is on or off, but I do not like how dark and shiney the male viera's nose is (in combination). It might be that his nose is pointy and all of these things added together do not scream "bunny" to me, it feels off. I feel if the graphics are to go the route of going darker they shouldn't be as shiney (because it looks wet or greasy), or the noses should be flat (like a bunny), or if they're to be pointy- it shouldn't be 7 shades darker than his skin tone. So maybe give us options, like a lighter to darker shade slider for the nose? I don't know how well to phrase this but it literally looks like the male bun took a smudge stick and rubbed it all over his nose. It doesn't match his skin tone in any way, and it immensely bothers me- to the point where I'm wondering if I want to remain male Viera for Dawntrail =/

For the Female Viera: I appreciate the display of showing dark skin tones but perhaps showing an additional example would have benefitted here? Like so many before, an option to keep the previous noses would be appreciated if the intent is to remove the bunny-type noses entirely. Which would be unfortunate because many people, like myself, love that and it's one of the many reasons we chose Viera to begin with. I'm struggling with the phrasing but finding a happy medium between the darker top of the nose, and the lighter bottom of the nose is what's going to make all of us happy. I think the best way to provide that is to give us a palette of colors based off our skin tone that we choose, a slider, or something among those lines /shrug

I made an account on the forum only to reply to this thread hoping the developers see it! Please keep our nose! It is my favourite thing about my race, it makes us look so much more like bunnies!

Watching the PLL and I honestly hope they took this feedback into consideration... Please save our noses!!!

I noticed the odd skin texture as well- they're shiny, like they have extremely over active pores or are covered in sweat- I'm not sure why the designers think this is a good option because skin isn't shiny & I hope it's not something we see all of the time but rather, when it rains.

EDIT: It might be something to show what we'll look like in wet/hot environments bc watching the benchmark, the shine isn't really there

It is not just nose, but eyes are also different, with strange circles under the eyes.
Also, the skin has more "sweaty" look as mentioned above, original matte skin looks more natural. Im afraid our Vieras will be unrecognizable after the update
I personally prefer the original look.

I guess many people will be irked if their characters changes too much from original, mainly for those players playing for years with the same look.

Maybe it's to force people into playing hrothgar- they likely won't have the sweaty/ rubbery skin effect since they're covered in fur
But there wasn't enough of an excite over this, so everyone- it might be that oily skin is the new look in ffxiv
