Viera Changes

[AoifeAsturmaux]

Thought I'd add my experience to this thread in the hopes that more feedback = higher chance of seeing improvements!

I'm overall pretty happy with how my main (Face 1 female Rava Viera) looks in the new graphics. It will for sure take some getting used to, but the positives (she looks so much better in low lighting!! her skin is lit so much better in general!) outweigh the negatives for me. There was just one minor change I will have to use a fantasia to fix, but overall my worries have been alleviated seeing her in the benchmark.

My Veena boy, on the other hand... he doesn't look *terrible* (and could honestly be a lot worse) but he's lost a lot of the things that I liked about his original model. Echoing a lot of the complaints by other face 3 Veena players, the loss of the larger pupils and the lighter face tattoos/eyebrows are my main sticking points. I really liked how my boy's brown eyeliner blended with his eyelashes before, but now it's so light you can tell it's separate...



I can change his eyeliner to black to sort of alleviate the problem, but that doesn't change that I preferred the brown, and that his eyebrows still look lighter than they should. Nor does it change the pupil size issue, which I'm really hoping is just an oversight!

So, yeah. I love face 3 viera boys specifically because of how pretty their eyes are, so I really hope we can get this worked out before Dawntrail ;-;

And for any staff reading this: thank you so much for taking the time to consider fan feedback, it really means a lot to know you're listening!

Give my boy his long white eyelashes back pls... I picked the long lash option for a reason. It also seems like he got the darker nose many others lost, and I'd rather be without. Stuff like weird lighter eyebags and darker lips I can fix by tinkering with the options, but there doesn't seem to be anything to fixing his nose or lashes.
Meanwhile my veena lad lost his will to live, or suffered some very traumatic event, judging by his dead fish eyes. I'm honestly a bit creeped out writing this with him staring at me from the other screen.

Those defined lashes are a feature. Defined lashes in general are something so many players love about Viera faces, so I would like them to remain defined.

What on earth happened to the dark nose on face 1?

Those are the same char. I am concerned about my eye color being different and more warm, and with new lipstick you cant actually make your lips to look same with skincolor for a lot of skin options. The contouring of the face now makes it look wider, and the contour on lips is weird making them more flat. The eyeliner is more fat in the middle now and misses the nice bended line it had before.

I never thought I'd be using the forums either but here we are...
My girl got massacred using Face 4 as well. Hoping to find another who shares the same thought's I had.
I'm using face 4 mouth 3. Lips now look like they had injections... The lipstick also feels really awful now in comparison.




Everyone else I've asked says they barely see a difference. All I hope is that this is a work in progress.

I wrote up a post on some feedback for Male Viera face 3 (eyes, lips, and lip color) over here: https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/...50#post6439150

Tossing it in this thread in case my thread gets buried. Hopefully the devs see everyone's feedback

Face 3 bungirl here...

- Her lips no longer have a subtle shine.
- Her top eyelashes are so much darker and make her appear more mature.
- Her eyebrows are lighter.
