Viera Changes

[Oshirigami]

Yeah so... also chiming in, I don't understand why some of these changes were even made.
I'll disagree with OP on the lighting for the most part. The lighting is an improvement, even if it does light up the dark side a lot sometimes I think it's fine and just different.

But some changes made to the textures seem both unnecessary and bad.
Lipstick is a much different shape. The lips are a whole different shape and changes the resting expression. Noses got changed a bit.
Optional eye makeup also looks less pronounced because the lighting has given less contrast to the face I think.
Why were the iris and pupil changed so much? The old ones looked so good and pretty high quality compared to the other races. Veena lost their larger pupil.
Where did the lip shine go not just on Viera, but all females?

Veena eyebrows, the updated hair, and the lighting overall looks better I guess but all my friend's Viera look so different with the new lips.
I haven't seen any Viera that looks the same but better because they really changed how they look by changing the lip shape which was one of their defining features.
I'm guessing the Veena pupils being the same as Rava was an oversight.
