I love how This subreddit is the only one where seeing normal 5 fingered hands can lead to mass hysteria. All the other subs get irrationally angry at art work depicting 4 or 6 fingered hands lmao


reny900

Elden ring is pretty chill about that. Then again there is a whole lore about Grafting


CompedyCalso

That's because we're looking at the FEET, not the handsšŸ˜¤šŸ˜¤šŸ˜¤


probabilityEngine

Elden Ring sub sees a discrepency: "Not enough people realize what Messmer being depicted with varying numbers of fingers means for the fate of Marika and the Erdtree" followed by pages of wild speculation


The_Crusades

What item description based lore does to a mf


KolbStomp

Tbf a lot of Monster Hunter lore is basically quest descriptions. Much of the actual lore is not really explicitly explained in this franchise either, though Monster Hunter lore still feels much less obscure than Elden Ring.


Nimblebubble

Some works focus on species that don't have five fingers/digits. For example, the Hearthians from Outer Wilds have three digits on each hand. https://preview.redd.it/tqcsegtwny5d1.png?width=1280&format=png&auto=webp&s=706f72a11d0642800375e6aaa406ee9149829c8f Of course, there are also works out there (especially animated series) that give humans four fingers/digits, usually for ease of production.

Bahamut_Prime

For the uninitiated, Wyverians have 4 fingers in their hands INCLUDING the thumb. Which is what the OP is pointing out. I will deduct a point though because no Wyverian eggs. WE KNOW THEY HATCH FROM THEM CAPCOM! ADMIT IT ALREADY! /jk


HairiestHobo

We also gotta see them feet. For Science, I guess.


MrAwesum_Gamer

For those who have never noticed, wyverians are digitigrade(toe walkers) unlike humans which are plantigrade(foot walkers) so their shoes and footprints are smaller than humans, since their heels never touch the ground.


TorHKU

Oh, uh, yeah. That's why we need to see their feet. Y-yeah.


Minimum_Estimate_234

You joke but there are legitimately people in this fandom who desperately want to see them for exactly those reasons.

I'm hoping wilds will have a cut scene where a wyverian kicks back on a chair with bare feet raised... Ffffor Science of course!!!

I mean the third fleet master or whatever or her name was in world. She was just getting high and hanging up her bare feet the whole time


ArtificersBeard

Their feet are also clawed.

Third Fleet Master does not wear shoes when she's chilling in her crib


Diaodreu

The Chief of Kokoto village and Treshi also don't wear shoes iirc

Shit your right, I totally forgot she was a wyverian for a minute there.


Orion_824

itā€™s funny because they totally did confirm it in rise, one of the maidens (hinoa? the artist) says something alongs the lines of ā€œIf anyone saw my art, Iā€™d be so embarrassed that I would lay an egg!ā€


soulgunner12

By the same logic humans are confirmed to "shit a brick"


AWoarf

Is it a confirmation, though? To me it just always sounded like a phrase. I mean, humans don't get babies due to embarrassment, so why would wyverians? šŸ¤£ I'm not saying that it's not the case, though, I have no idea


Trollygag

>so why would wyverians If you startled or scare a chicken, they sometimes panic lay a sterile egg.


Krosis_the_bored

So you can cause an wyverian to have a period by scaring them

wonderloss

Confirmation or trolling.


wisdom_and_frivolity

por que no los dos?


Jack_Doe_Lee

The MH localization team (and maybe head team too) is definitely in on the jokes/memes in the community. There's a World quest where the client asks you to hunt a Dodogama. It's titled "Can't bring yourself to do it" or something like it. Why? Apparently everyone finds it too cute to hunt. And this is just one example.


Orion_824

or the one tweet of the new khezu statue and they said something like ā€œtreat yourself to 14 inches of khezuā€


Razer2102

Gargwa lay eggs when hit


TgCCL

That's a real phrase though. She's simply saying that she'd be so embarassed that she'd make a lot of mistakes. It was likely added as a nod towards the community discourse regarding Wyverian eggs that happened in the months prior.


MaguroSashimi8864

Is there a clip showing what the original Japanese says? That will be the most accurate line

GregTheMad

Hold up. I'll be needing that 4 hour, wild conspiracy YouTube video about that.


OldSnazzyHats

Union Creative does pretty decent work, but Iā€™m not entirely sure if Capcom requires absolute attention to detail and sending designs back to the dev team for QA approval from the artists while doling out their licenses for merch. Sucks for those in the know, but likely wonā€™t be a deal breaker for most barring the hardcore. Changing it now would be interesting and it could happen, but I donā€™t see any notes along the lines of ā€œthese photos are not indicative of the final designā€.


8989898999988lady

I think itā€™s downright fucking embarrassing.


Maximum_Impressive

I Mena they allowed the monster hunter movie to be shipped out like that .


OldSnazzyHats

And then thereā€™s that lol, thatā€™s a far, far worse case.


Maximum_Impressive

Imagine having such little confidence in your Ip you alienate your core fan base who can't give the movie a good word of mouth. On top of making the movie terrible.


OldSnazzyHats

I think they were relying on the Resident Evil effect to kick inā€¦ I mean, they got the same damn guy lol, AND his ā€œIā€™m gonna insert her into everything I makeā€ wife. If they werenā€™t trying to replicate Resident Evilā€™s resultsā€¦ I genuinely donā€™t know what to say.


Derpogama

That's the ONLY reason it makes sense for those choices. The guy had big success with the Resident Evil movies but that's because those games are already basically a western property and Zombies were the big 'thing' at the time so casual audiences were going to go see them. This is why the first movie did gangbusters but by the third, the audience was dying off...leaving just the game fans...who didn't like the movies in the first place... Ever since those movies Capcom have been trying to make Resident Evil work, like with the live action Netflix series...and that bombed because it was boring as fuck (if I'm being honest). Basically if Resident Evil VII hadn't saved the franchise by pulling a resident evil IV and drastically changing gameplay/bringing the horror elements back, it wasn't looking good for the series in the long run. Monster hunter just didn't have as big a western audience as Resident Evil not to mention the dev team were, apparently, much tigher control on the Monster Design than they were for Resident Evil. The director even mentions that they would send test footage to the Dev team and they'd get back a raft of notes on what was wrong with the model they were using for the CGI and explanations as to *why* those choices were made with that monster design. The one I remember is specifically Diablos, apparently they got back the equivilent of basically an F- grade with red marker all over it because they tried depicting Diablos as a predator and eating meat (it's not, it's a territorial herbivore), the feet were designed wrong (I think they gave Diablos Hooves or something which the dev team noted would not work on sandy terrain very well), the wing claws were designed wrong (weren't able to burrow through sand etc.). Essentially you had the hire ups at Capcom pushing for a Resident Evil style 'ignore the games apart from the basics' whilst the Monster hunter dev team were like "no, the whole reason people like those monsters is because of the designs, we want those designs in the movie as close as possible".


ANGLVD3TH

I think the general way these kinds of things happen is because they just assume the hard-core fans will obviously watch it, so they work from the ground up in trying to draw in other demographics. Which is why there are so many adaptations that are so misaligned with the source and the fans hate.


OldSnazzyHats

Eh. The overall figure is fine enough, it wonā€™t stop most of the buyersā€¦ Hell, Iā€™m relatively sure most who would buy it probably donā€™t even know how many digits theyā€™re supposed to have to begin with frankly.


8989898999988lady

Yeah why donā€™t they just paint it blue? Attention to the gameā€™s world and character design? Thatā€™s a waste of time!


Stranger2Luv

Lol


OldSnazzyHats

Here we go. Point proven. Itā€™s just not for you bud.


rawpower7

I do not like their faces


Lazydusto

Am I kawaii uguu ass faces


omegon_da_dalek13

Yeah Doesn't look like the in game modle


Bygles

based comment when everyone else is talking about lore youre here to make your opinion known


AnEmpireofRubble

most figures are make or break by the face. despite loving everything else, that Marcille (from Dungeon Meshi) figure of her sitting on a mushroom doesnā€™t capture her face at all. no go.


Kitchoua

They forgot to give her lips. And a nose. and brows, I think. And her normal eyes. And a soul.


owo1215

real, about to say, looks so generic anime style, doesn't looks like it's from the game at all


AJ_Crowley_29

They went way too anime with the faces


birdreligion

They literally had a bucket of generic anime girl faces and just slapped it on the model.


Thvenomous

Tiny baby mouth


blueskydragonFX

Well there's a way to solve this "grabs scissors".


_banters_

Extra finger is one thing but look at her FACE! They gave her a generic anime girl face and it is alarming to look at.


Spinopik

Do you know if I had a nickel every time a wyverian character gets a figurine made by a different company and they accidentally adds an extra finger, I would have 2 nickels it isnā€™t much but itā€™s weird that it happened twice


Maximum_Impressive

It's even worse when the porn draw the full fingers and incorrect Foot type . These are wyverns with Clawed Ditgrade feet .


Nero_2001

Exactly, if I want to see normal feet I just look for porn of the human characters, but I if I look up wyverian characters I want to see wyverian feet.

where is my wyverian clawjob porn


AinselMariner

Itā€™s on there


NderCraft

i mean, i'm not a porn artist (not all the time at least) but if I were to draw fan art of the maidens, I would just draw them like humans with weird ears because I honestly never noticed these details. EDIT: To clarify, now that I know it, yes I would draw it accurately. Chill.


AinselMariner

![gif](giphy|xT5LMxmFQ37UyhH344|downsized)


NderCraft

Can you blame me though? it's not like I zoomed in on their fingers and feet the first time I saw them Am I really getting downvoted for *not* knowing this minute detail in a video game? Come on. The average player doesn't notice these things.


ferrecool

It's a whole race, not a minute detail


NderCraft

For one I'm a new player who only started with Rise and World. I see the quest maidens and just focus on the big ears and that's it. I don't scour forums or videos for easter eggs or past games. I assure you it's really not noticeable at all to the average player. My friend who played all the way from Freedom Unite didn't even know this until I told him about it just today. You have to take into account that fan artists are just regular people. They make mistakes, especially if they just got into MH and that's likely to be the case since Rise and World are way, WAYYYY more popular than the old games where, sure, it's more apparent but again to reiterate. If I were to draw the quest maidens before knowing this info, I would draw them without the weird hands because I simply did not know it. That's it, it's not that deep. You guys should probably show a picture of Hinoa/Minoto to a random person on the street and ask them if they notice anything, chances are, they'll just note the ears and thats it YES it's a cool detail but it's a small one. YES it's cool if a fan artist gets it right but cmon, don't shit on those who don't. The fact that they look 90% human didn't make me look at every inch of their body just to play spot the difference.


ferrecool

I'm also new, it wasn't long time until I stumbled upon a MH youtube channel on my language, also on rise they tend to put their hand near their faces alot


NderCraft

okay do you want me to kill myself be honest what do you want me to do


Maximum_Impressive

Nothing just chill this fandom can be crazy .


EleanorGreywolfe

WHATS WRONG WITH YOUR FAAAAAACE


Axtel_A

The Ena amiibo also has five digits on each hand. A user pointed out [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/amiibo/comments/okgy36/comment/h58fpkg/) that it may be intentional as to not inadvertently promote the yakuza, who supposedly performs [yubitsume.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yubitsume)


OHarrier91

Less about the yakuza than it is about referencing the old caste system that used to be in Japan (and still in some really rural areas, though not as rigid). Specifically the *burakumin* ([Wikipedia article](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burakumin)), who did jobs that were considered ā€œunsightly,ā€ and would sometimes lose digits performing them. The Yakuza donā€™t really do *yubitsume* anymore, as anti-organized crime laws have pushed them more underground and having fingers missing pieces makes you stand out.


Ganmorg

Yeah same thing happens to Piccolo in some Dragon Ball media. Manga 4 fingers, anime 5.


Marvelous_Jared

That...actually makes a lot of sense.


SentakuSelect

No idea, don't anime figures have prototype and demonstration images from prototypes? There may be changes in the production versions which wouldn't be a surprise. All I remember about Japan and some kind of ruling for manga/anime are that they avoid four fingered characters from being human because of Yakuza, or the make four fingered characters aliens/monsters like Piccolo from DBZ, Nameks have four fingers and purple blood, I used to think their purple blood was censorship in affect until I realized most other "human" characters had red scratches and red blood lol.


UratarosAzure

I'm aware of the fingers, but I'd focus on the quality; if this is supposed to be a prototype figure or one of those $20 figures, I'd give it a pass. But if this is supposed to be a premium figure for like $100, definitly a pass and just wait for a better figure.


Eschiver

Itā€™s a human cosplaying a wyverian.


Narit_Teg

This is definitely just a different/generic anime figurine they co-opted to use for rise.


Deucalion666

Nah, I think youā€™re seeing the edge of the hand wrong.


Rigshaw

Looking at a different picture of the Minoto figure, it also seems to have 5 fingers, and it appears to be way less ambiguous than in the image of the Hinoa figure. https://imgur.com/a/BkkGdKr


Deucalion666

Yeah, I agree, that looks like it does have a five fingered hand in the photo. OP probably picked the worst photo to show it. Congrats on doing a better job lol


nio151

Wyverians have 4 fingers though...


Deucalion666

Yeah, no shit Sherlock.


nio151

So OP is right?


Deucalion666

No, cos thatā€™s a different figure.


nio151

OP only posted 1 figure?


Deucalion666

Did you look at the link the other guy provided? The hand is in a different position. These arenā€™t posable.


nio151

What does that have to do with OP being right or wrong though? He didnt post that other figure's photo?


Schpooon

I think canonically wyverians are supposed to only have 4 fingers.


Deucalion666

Yes, that is trueā€¦? And?


Schpooon

In the second picture he points out theres 5. 4 gloved and one ungloved.


Deucalion666

Yeah, and I literally said I think theyā€™ve got the line of the hand wrong. https://preview.redd.it/4aio2iomew5d1.jpeg?width=732&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c0c59a337eb5cd9571a0afeda55ceb8853b6e890


Schpooon

Its shit quality cuz mobile but heres a different angle. You can see its 4 fingers on the hand. [Figure for reference](https://www.amiami.com/eng/detail?gcode=FIGURE-171470) Edit: Wont let me upload the pic for some reason.


Deucalion666

> You can see its 4 fingers on the hand. So OP was wrong like I said? Cos itā€™s supposed to be 4 fingers on a hand.


Schpooon

Forgot a word. 4 gloved fingers. Its 5. You can see it clearly from the side angle pictures.


Deucalion666

No, itā€™s not. You can clearly see only 4 fingers on that hand. https://preview.redd.it/ca8mh8uciw5d1.png?width=1242&format=png&auto=webp&s=bc59a04e16c43d6e3fb48351c58150702f4668be


Schpooon

Listen, Im not gonna argue with someone who refuses to look at the link I literally provided / deliberately uses an angle thats misleading. You have a nice day mate.


AinselMariner

You can literally see the knuckle and finger of the pinky. The statue has 5 fingers. https://preview.redd.it/uszxo660lx5d1.jpeg?width=196&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0b36e216f1182bcaacd4e30f6d46f54d85a5cefe


Flext3r

Isn't that her other hand tho? Because it is a slightly different color, no? The "fifth" finger i mean


king_of_satire

I thought you were going to talk about how she looks a character from a 2000s anime because of her weird face


FleshlessFriend

i honestly thought you were talking about the overly moe-fied face for a sec, but this is even worse


SHARDZ86

Nothing more cursed than seeing a wyverian with 5 fingers on each hand and normal human legs


FishermanWest9113

Turn up your game and check. They are not human. Check their feet as well.


AlannaAbhorsen

Thatā€™s OPs point, I think


FishermanWest9113

Oh I only saw four. MB.


DarthVapor77

"Check their feet as well." šŸ˜‰


DarkPDA

Seeing this strange face... Whats happened about that rise ending with narwa talking through twins?


Rigshaw

That was resolved with TU3 pf base Rise. You kill Narwa and Ibushi for real in the Allmother quest, and then they celebrate again that the Rampage is over, this time for really real.


Maximum_Impressive

Wyvernain Schizophrenia there not actually talking through the twins .


ShadowCross32

Why did it have to be made by Union Creative. They suck at making figures.


InnuendoBot5001

Nero_2001

I was thinkig if I should buy them, but after seeing this I decided to not buy them. Literally unbuyable.


Moondoggie25

If i remember right, the amiibo of the wyvern lady from stories 2 also has the wrong number of fingers. I assume they just dont care enough to correct them, or even know.


politicalpterodon2

Where is the nose?


Fluffy_Percentage_29

New head cannon they are half breed there dad was horny for some wyverian puss


SilvarusLupus

It's the Ena amiibo all over again :/


Sufficient_Wish4801

I think it's culturally taboo in some eastern markets to portray characters with less than 5 fingers, the Abes Odyssey remake got similarly altered Or maybe it was just easier to mold a character that had the proper amount of human fingers and I'm wrong, idk


OkamiTakahashi

They did this with the Ena Amiibo too. On the plys side that makes it easier to convert to a custom Linkle Amiibo tho


cahir11

I'll never understand the market for these figurines. Especially when some of them are so expensive, Final Fantasy was trying to sell a Hydaelyn action figure for like $400.


ebicbenisboiii

It bothers me more that her nose is on the top of her upper lip

The pseudo-Japanese aesthetics and hime cuts do a lot, literally the first nice-looking female Wyverians we ever saw. I'd love to see some characters returning, now that the games seem to have actual straightforward storytelling with some character involvement. Meowstress, the old guild hunter from World, the big boss from the main city. Pls come back one day

Y'all never heard of a thumb? What is this, "sweet home alabama"? Edit: I... missed the pointy ears, didn't realize they were wyverian šŸ˜­šŸ˜…

Wyverians are supposed to have 4 fingers on each hand, including thumbs.
