[Graphical Update] Viera Nose

[Ambarhaura]

I can understand people not wanting too much change on their character. I hated the way my 1.0 character ported across and I was gutted they took away her voice.

I wish I could have them back but alas that will never happen.


I do not like the Viera noses as they are and think they look better but I do not play as one so it does not affect me. I hope they keep them as they are and I am sure they will listen to the feedback and it will be fine.

I personally am not super happy about the changes to viera's eyes, but they aren't really a fundamental design change and I'll get used to them. If they remove the bunny-like nose, that is a fundamental character design change and does not uphold character fidelity. That is why people are upset, they aren't improving, they are inherently changing the nose. It's not a matter whether some people think it looks good or looks bad. What it looks like is "not our character".

I understand what you mean there was a lot of my friends who played in 1.0 who logged into ARR and where like where is my character's voice? where is the Lala walk and also where is my Bottom? and a big massive change for me was my character's voice. It was as you say a change to her and I miss her to this day even though she is still Luluna she just did not seem to port across as I remembered her so now I play a Midlander and on the occasion go back to cat or sometimes Au Ra because they seem to have stolen my cat girls bottom

i never liked the bunny noise for the fem Viera, but they should at least make it optional.

Yeah this is what gets me about the whole thing. I went through a face update in another game I played that made my character look like a completely different ethnicity by drastically changing the eyes, so when Yoshi-P originally said they would do all they could to uphold our current appearance I was relieved.

Now I'm terrified I'm once again going to log in to find my character absolutely unrecognizable.

Here to support the Viera and their desire for their old noses.
Bring back the bunny nose pleeease.

Yes I agree! I'm pretty distressed about the drastic change for more 'human noses', as it feels like my character will lose part of its identity. Hoping it becomes more of an option and we choose between them!

Exactly. I, like many of us, are REALLY hoping it's either an option or the image shown does not portray what it will actually look like when done.... but tbh it's better to voice our feelings on it now rather then log in when 7.0 drops to forced nosejobs for all :x

Noses?

What?

Not that big a deal to me.

But other Bnuuy's seem upset.

Fix this.

I have never posted in the FFXIV forums before until now. I MUST protest against this travesty with the female viera's nose. With a nose that looks more human-like they lose their identity. I use that nose specifically because it's the closest looking to Fran's nose from FF11. Please Mr. Yoshida don't change the nose shape.

save my nose!!
