[Graphical Update] Viera Nose

[AiKuran]

I made a forum account just for this. I LOVE the Viera bunny nose tip! It's what separates them from other races. Like other people have said, if you remove their noses they are just Hyurs with ears. I truly hope they fix this.

Also the discrepancy with the male Viera properly having a distinctive nose is a problem too. Don't take away the Viera nose pleaaaaaase!!! It should be simpler than AuRi scales/limbals to fix.

Yeah, I also just finalized my forum account because of this. Felt my heart sink when I saw the picture because I do not want my Viera to lose her cute lil nose. Sincerely hope they do not take it away!

Also here to add my voice to the throng of Viera fans begging to keep our rabbit-like noses, it's such a unique feature to them it feels wrong without it.

Also made an account for this (+ one other comment on the graphical updates).

I do hope the developers make sure to emphasize the rabbit-like noses, for both male and female Viera. I love both the darker noses and white nose accents Viera have. With all the new shadows, smoother facial models, and skin textures, the dark nose and white nose accent, as well as the rabbit-like nose shape, can easily get lost. They're a very charming quality of Viera and I hope they remain visually distinct.

On the female Viera, the nose is several sizes smaller than the original. This looks like the largest nose on Viera and now it's pretty much as small as the others. And viera noses are pretty small already. I use a different face with the largest nose setting and I won't even recognize my character when this update takes effect. They've even made the lips smaller too. I'm going to be so depressed I won't be able to play the game any longer.

I agree with the OP. Male Viera's change is perfect while female Viera is mostly perfect *except* the nose! I want the females to retain their bunny nose and then their graphical update will be perfect. Please I don't want them to lose it... they will lose a lot of their identity.

Welcome to the forums bun friends.

Hopefully the texture is an option I can toggle on/off if they're removing it from the baseline faces.

The new Viera Female is more consistent with reveals and promotional art as well as previous iterations. It is glorious.

I'm more concerned about the Males looking like they were thrown down a chimney.

So, to recap, the team has:

• Forced the dusty nose onto the male viera face that was previously without one, the coloring of which is far more prominent than those that currently exist in 6.5 -- it looks like a grease stain
• Completely removed the unique racial nose from the female viera altogether

Please don't ship the game like this.

Not a viera player myself...but, why, SE? What was the reason to remove this really cute and distinctive feature from fem vieras? What big plan and thought process was behind it and which purpose it should serve? Changes just for changes? What about your promises about keeping the original feeling from the character despite this update then, if you're completely removing it with this confusing move?

UPD: Funny enough, I found older previews with vieras with this update, and what we can see there? You're right, the nose was ok. So what happened? Where did it go?
