[Graphical Update] Viera Nose

[Celmar]

I for one hope its just the female viera model being a bit more WIP than the others at this point, the work for each race goes at different paces and perhaps this one is a bit more behind in development than the other races.

Cause otherwise it would be immensely disheartening for us to lose one of our distinctive features as a rabbit race. Like Miqote losing their tails, Femroe their noses, Elezen their ears or lalas from the game. The current noses in live are subtle but very defining in an aesthetically pleasing manner (many could argue we could have it be much less subtle infact and a little more towards femgar but I digress as thats not really in the cards).

Lets be calm about this though and keep in mind with appropriate feedback the Au Ra community got their more defined medial rings back for their eyes. So lets make sure they know our thoughts on the matter.

This is the first time I’ve commented on a forum post, but I am on my hands and knees begging for them to not remove the bunny nose markings and to keep the overall broader bunny nose shapes. It’s the reason I love the viera faces so much!

Definitely not a fan of either of the viera gender updates; my main is a male viera that uses Face 1 (the same as the example images) and I dislike how shiny the example male looks now. Also the noses on both the male and female! The bunny nose is still sort of visible on the male, but absolutely lost on the female. I really want viera to keep their bunny noses.

Please keep the viera nose. It's important to me.

came here just to say we need to keep the viera bunny noses!

I hope my nose doesn't suddenly turn brown..

The powers of suggestion. Propose a problem first and other will see the exact same problem and defend it in the exact same format buzz words included. Where were you when Viera were given plantigrade feet? Were were you when the Viera weren't given hats? Where were you when the Viera received normal hairstyles? Where were you when they were given an unnatural height dynamic?

Viera female's old "rabbit" nose really just looks like some cute paint she got at the local fair to look more like a wabbit or maybe she just woefully forgot to blend her nose contours because it's literally just a texture painted over an otherwise humanoid face (which is what viera are). The aesthetic also just translates poorly to the newer higher quality models. Doing away with harsh cartoonized features that were meant to add depth to the low poly models.

I'm the most content I've been since the initial release of the Viera. Different is not better. Better is better. For the first time since their release Female Viera were given a fair hand and it's being opposed because of predisposed novelty.

Unnatural height dynamic? IRL, rabbits have large females and small males, objecting to that is absolutely insane and especially so given that the max height difference is way less than in every other race but Lalafells. I wasn't here when they were added, but I was disappointed that they weren't digitigrade and generally less human (like 12 Viera) when I started playing. You are putting up hypotheticals purely to lash out at people who want to keep one of the few remaining animalistic aspects viera have left in 14.

My issue primarily lies with the fact that is is a very obvious discrepancy. MViera still have that feature, while FViera it looks completely removed. If they both ended up not having it in the "updated" look, I might not have made this thread in the first place.

Then we are of the same mind. I want the dirt removed from the new males. If the devs are feeling spicy they could just add a nose paint toggle for Viera. Honestly I don't care for it on either.
