[Graphical Update] Viera Nose

[Pip_Chick]

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

I don't think that is what they intended. Or why do you think anyone would be "Forced" to become a Hrothgar, they are an amazing race, very cute and fluffy.
But I do think it was because a majority of the footage was taken either at night or during rain/having a rain effect. the other Pictures they showed do not display "Oily skin". or it is not as noticable.

Probably, we will see soon. Dawntrail benchmark should have updated graphics already
Did not finished endwalker yet (had few years pause from the game) but already hyped for the new expansion.

Because it's not oily skin, that's from the wet showcase, the skin is glistening wet, not oily.

Left - Downtrail, on right - now



As you can see in the pictures, these are two completely different characters in appearance: a different hair color, a different face shape, different eyes and different lips. The nose is also different, it looks more like an ordinary Hyurian.

Of course, I understand that the need for changes is long overdue, and that it is almost impossible to do as it is now due to technical changes. But you can't fool the feelings - you take my favorite character from me and give me some similar one in return. I'm upset.

I dont think Vieras needed changes at all. As one of newer races, these looks much better than other races graphically, also looks good in most ingame lighting settings. But agree, that older races needed the graphical uplift, specially hyur and lalas.
As for viera, in my opinion it is downgrade. Did not needed changes at all
My character also looks totally different, and no free fantasia will fix it. Cannot make her same in dawntrail benchmark because of limited char creation options

-eyes, -lips -makeup, everything looks slightly different and combined all together with new lighting engine it makes a totally different face
