[Graphical Update] Viera Nose

[umbralis]

The nose is what makes my viera characters so distinct and unique compared to other races, especially on darker skintones the lighter shading is very noticeable and that is why I and many other love them so much! My characters would just not look like themselves anymore which is strange, isn’t the graphical update supposed to enhance the character features and make them higher quality, not remove them completely? I haven’t personally come across there being requests for this change so it’s very confusing to me if this is something that is supposed to be implemented.

If anything, make the option toggleable. Viera is no viera without their nose.

I don’t like it. I hope they make it an option you can toggle in the character creator if that’s the direction they want to go with the graphical update.

i also set my account up just to complain about this.

it's always bugged me how the viera in ffxiv have strayed from the example set by the ivalice games, both in terms of the lore surrounding them and their appearance. this is just one more addition to that pile of disappointment. frankly it looks like a lot of third-party "beautification" mods, where it might be graphically higher fidelity at the cost of all character, charm and coherent vision.

let bunnies be bunnies.

Removing Viera's bunny nose and giving it more "human" shape is like removing Moonie's poop nose or souless stare of face 1 femra. Without it Viera are just tall women with ears and not the bunny girls I love so much.

I almost never post on forums, but this is the one thing I'll scream to high heavens until they fix it.

(God it's awkward to defend bunnies when I just fanta'd off my best bunny girl to see what it's like to be a roe).

Yet another viera player setting up an account over this issue.

Genuinely the slightly-upturned discoloured bunny noses are one of the best and most distinctive things about viera faces and it would be a tragedy to see them go just to make them look more 'delicate'

Then again, the showcase from last fanfest still *had* the proper bunny nose so either they changed it since then (Good chance they change it back) or it may be darker skin lighting choices making it blend in (Probably harder to deal with) and I have no idea what to make of this.

[Oneiroid]

I have also never used the forums before and set up an account specifically to give feedback about this. Please don't remove the bunny nose! I'm hoping it was just glare from the lighting or something, but please make sure the bunny nose is still prominent on all viera regardless of gender or skin tone.

OMG, the new nose has more dirt on it than the old one. Yes, i guess, someone at SQEX really hates the Viera.



Cheers

hopefully they listen, my fear is that they only listen to the japanese player base and I dont know if they're okay with the change :<

Removing the bunny nose seems weird, but they seem to really commit to making male viera look like little gremlins. First the weird posture and now they have these really dirty looking noses that look like they don't wash their face.

[Heavenchild]

I wondered why they made the male bunny nose more visible, and on the other side let the female bunny nose almost disappear.

I am not a fan of the bunny noses but I think male and female should be the same. So they should bring the female bunny nose back, or make the male bunny nose also less visible.

Or: Give us nose options to choose between both. I guess this would be the best option for everyone.
