However, despite her position, she prefers solitude and can be quite cold and distant when interacting with others. Her icy personality is matched by her Cryo Vision, which allows her to launch ice-based attacks while wielding her polearm in battle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although she is not quite available through in-game wishes just yet, Rosaria will be one of the featured characters of this latest big update. It would appear, however, that miHoYo has decided to make a slight alteration to her character design just before her official release. As stated in the version 1.4 patch notes, this update \u201cAdjusts the appearance of Rosaria.\u201d It would seem that \u201cappearance\u201d in this case refers mainly to her chest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Everything began back in December of 2020 when Rosaria made her first appearance as an NPC during Albedo\u2019s story quest in version 1.2, \u201cThe Chalk Prince and the Dragon.\u201d She\u2019s depicted as being uncharacteristically mysterious considering her position as a sister of the church and has continued to draw attention from fans thanks to her thorny disposition and attractive figure. However, after the official release of the trailer for the version 1.4 update, many have pointed out that her chest design looks quite different than it did back in version 1.2.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1360\" height=\"726\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/20210317-155080-001.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-575\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/20210317-155080-001.jpg 1360w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/20210317-155080-001-600x320.jpg 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/20210317-155080-001-380x203.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/20210317-155080-001-768x410.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/20210317-155080-001-150x80.jpg 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/20210317-155080-001-300x160.jpg 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/20210317-155080-001-696x372.jpg 696w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/20210317-155080-001-1068x570.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/20210317-155080-001-787x420.jpg 787w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1360px) 100vw, 1360px\" \/><figcaption>Image Credit : Veck via\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/imgur.com\/a\/eTjJHoW\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Imgur<\/a><br><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Rumors of the change to her character model started spreading after modders, who looked at the actual game data, began reporting it online. The changes can also clearly be seen by looking at the updated <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/lumie_lumie\/status\/1366140953464029184?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">wish art<\/a> used in the game. With so much evidence, including the <a href=\"https:\/\/genshin.mihoyo.com\/en\/news\/detail\/9368\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">official patch notes<\/a> stating that the update \u201cadjusts the appearance of Rosaria,\u201d this change has essentially been confirmed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hoyolab.com\/genshin\/article\/229605\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">official forums<\/a> are filled with questions regarding the changes to Rosaria\u2019s breast size. This is largely due to the fact that <em>Genshin Impact<\/em> has a number of female characters with large breasts. Many players are likely wondering why the nun received a breast reduction while Lisa, Noelle, and Beidou were all left alone. Still, it is worth noting that Rosaria\u2019s breast size in version 1.2 was exceedingly large when compared with these other characters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, her chest remains quite large even after the change to her character model. In fact, some players have been voicing opinions that Rosaria\u2019s breasts seemed overly large ever since she was first introduced. It\u2019s possible the change was made to more closely match her character design with the standard of the game\u2019s other characters, or perhaps to make her more appropriately match the game\u2019s world view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are any number of reasons a female character\u2019s design might be changed. A similar situation arose in <em>Final Fantasy XIV<\/em> when players accused the developers of \u201cnerfing\u201d the size of characters\u2019 butts. However, it was later explained that this was an unintended result of the way character models are programmed to behave when certain types of armor are equipped in order to avoid clipping bugs. (<a href=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/articles\/newsjp\/20191227-109869\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Original Japanese article<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another example comes from when <em>Super Smash Bros. Ultimate<\/em> was released. Many players brought up the fact that it looked like the breast sizes of some character models, such as that of Zero Suit Samus, had been altered. (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/Kappa\/comments\/8qntzu\/nerfed\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Reddit<\/a>) From adapting characters to a game\u2019s world view, to adhering to certain rating standards, to system bugs, there are a number of reasons a character\u2019s appearance might be changed. However, it would appear this alteration to Rosaria\u2019s character model was an intentional one.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1629\" height=\"761\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/20210317-155080-header.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-574\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/20210317-155080-header.jpg 1629w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/20210317-155080-header-600x280.jpg 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/20210317-155080-header-380x178.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/20210317-155080-header-768x359.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/20210317-155080-header-1536x718.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/20210317-155080-header-150x70.jpg 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/20210317-155080-header-300x140.jpg 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/20210317-155080-header-696x325.jpg 696w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/20210317-155080-header-1068x499.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/20210317-155080-header-899x420.jpg 899w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1629px) 100vw, 1629px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>The team at miHoYo has a reputation for being fairly transparent when it comes to development, but they seem to be keeping rather quiet regarding this particular case. To be fair, however, Rosaria has yet to be released as an actual playable character, so it\u2019s still a little early to claim they are trying to hide something from their players. Besides, this is merely an adjustment to her model before her official implementation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We can\u2019t be certain exactly how much has changed from version 1.2. Players will have to reserve final judgement for after she becomes available from in-game wishes.
