Shiva model!

[Shougun]

She is speaking of the face itself, shes saying "it doesn't matter the color the face doesn't look right." (Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong kittenstomper.)

I'm not a huge fan of Shivas face or Garudas face for this game but I think it is a stylistic choice. I don't feel strongly for or against it, I just know its not my fav of the series.

I must be color blind because I dont see purple in the face lol - or green anywhere XD

What do you think of the concept art?

I agree with Kitten that she looks a bit like a young rebellious teen- in model form, I feel the concept art isnt that way.

(I thought Garuda's face was weird but then I saw her attitude in game, she is psycho.. it all fits lol)

Yeah Imoen, this is exactly what i'm saying. Also back to shougun, even though there is not a scale, the wide to with proportion makes her appear to be short, she could be tall.. but then shes going to be thick.. she should be in my opinion tall and slender... never thick.. and never short.. Compare her torso from the concept art to the 3d model, her torso is shorter, legs are shorter comparatively as well. And her face is round and should be longer as well.. more oval.. and her facial features... again.. IMO... are not shiva facial features.. and im talking about this BECAUSE.. i agree. the colors may not be finished.. and the shading and whatever may not be finished.. but I think the over all model is finished (because I didnt read otherwise, but please prove me wrong).. and it looks wrong to me.

To this, i wasnt saying her face was purple.. i was saying it dosnt matter if it was purple, im not talking about colors.. she could be ANY Color and her physical facial and body size features seem wrong.

So long as Shiva keeps those sexy elezen ears...

Lol, no no no. I mean she is saying it doesn't matter what color they make it, she doesn't like the look of the face. (At least I'm pretty sure, again feel free to correct me if I am wrong)

I think the concept is ok, I feel like the overall silhouette gives off a "I'm a B**ch vibe" (Please excuse the language) The turned up nose doesn't help with this. However it could be interpreted as "Proud" or a sense of "Authority" "Rule over... " " Don't get in my way" "Arrogant" To be totally honest I don't know how to explain it. It just doesn't have the "grace" that a lot of the other shivas display in the series.

Your following me exactly.. every summon usually looks a little different.. but this is drastic.. if we keep coming up with drastic changes like this.. one day you will NEVER be able to compare one final fantasy to another.. you would only be able to say... yeah.. final fantasy 40 also has a blue woman... but shes 2 feet tall and 500 pounds.. just like somone else said.. if you take a chocobo and give it arms.. you can call it a chocobo.. but that sort of change is so great its not going to be a final fantasy chocobo anymore... but if you take a chocobo and give it different highlights.. that sort of change is very minor..

Oh well I have failed reading it then - Kitten clarified you are correct lol.

With the model I feel very similar a "I'm a haughty teen", its in her nose (up), eyes (sharp) and eye brows (raised) - as well has having a very sharp face. I like the concept art, It does vary from the usual Shiva but I could guess that was Shiva. The concept art (which is small and of one perspective so its a little hard to fully evaluate) looks more mystical to me - still "cold, and proud" but not like rebellious teen (which isnt very mystical, just want to slap lol).

The TV trope of the "Defrosting Ice Queen", now with a literal queen of ice with no defrosting.

you got it now man, this is what im saying. The concept art says shiva to me.. the 3d model says short teenager/pixie like woman with an attitude... which is not shiva.. not mystical, as you said.

Shiva may look like she has some sort of attitude.. but its a sexy attitude, this thing might have an attitude.. but based on her facial features it would look like the kind you get from "my sweet 16' off of MTV.. and that's not sexy.. that's annoying.

Ya it fits with in context (Garuda) which is what I care more about than just an out of context model shot. Which is why I don't really have a strong for or against it. But ya out of context, thats the vibe I get from it. (The craftsmanship is top notch though so no disrespect to the person modeling)

I believe in FFXI lore the Queen Shiva was forced from her home at a young age and had to die alone from exposure to the cold...
If they have a similar background to her in XIV then she fits perfectly, though she certainly looks more mature, detailed and downright gorgeous then XIs version

I am surprised there was not this much concern for FFXIV's version of Siren, she looks like Chocolina fell off the wagon.
