My Viera too, has been nerfed and changed in the Benchmark. Hell, I had to darken his skin to even get a smidge close to the original vibes he had.

This is how he looks in Endwalker.


Exact same character, same setting.

Darkened the skintone, still not the same though.


He actually had more of a brooding look which is now gone, same for the nose. It's been sanded down and lost all it's charm. It's not even remotely the same character, which is a shame as I genuinely loved his design!
Where's my experienced looking Warder? Right now he looks like barely passed his trials and left the forest in Dawntrail. Genuinely hope this gets fixed because it seems to be a common problem for Viera...
