Tuuli Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 I noticed upon picking up Gali Nuva's mask that it looked similar to the classic hau mask just by looking at it's eye holes and forehead hole. Also it has a big gaping mouth like the hau and before anyone tells me there is a hau nuva, I believe the kaukau nuva looks more similar to the original hau.

Regitnui Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 And we're drawing what conclusion from this? That the Kaukau Nuva was intended to be the Hau Nuva at an early mythic prototyping stage? I can see the similarities, but there are similarities with the Kaukau as well. The two ridges along the top mimic the single raised area on the original. The 'mouths' share a similar triangular shape, and the 'gills' on the Kaukau Nuva match the smaller gaps on the bottom sides of the Kaukau. 2 Elemental Rahi in Gen2, anyone? A write-up for an initial video for a G2 plot I really wish everyone would stop trying to play join the dots with Gen 1 and Gen 2 though,it seems there's a couple new threads everyday and often they're duplicates of already existing conversations! Or simply parallel them with a slightly new 'twist'! Gen 2 is NEW, it is NOT Gen 1 and it is NOT a continuation. Outside of the characters we already have I personally don't want to see ANY old characters return. I think it will cheapen the whole experience to those of us familiar with the original line...

Bfahome Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 It could also look like a Kakama if you only look at the forehead and gills. But it's a Kaukau. None of the Nuva masks look much like their non-Nuva counterparts, barring a few things like the big ol' Hau mouth and Akaku eyepiece (which looks completely different anyway). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The 1st Shadow Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Tanma's mask is also incredibly similar to the Kaukau Nuva. ~Your friendly, neighborhood Shadow ~Credit for Avatar and Banner goes to NickonAquaMagna~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banana Gunz Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 A lot of masks can have large amounts of similarities, but that doesn't mean they're the same or related. And if you take a look at the Kaukau nuva and hau generally they look pretty distinct from each other. tumblr: it's a lovely place to be if you've gone madflickr: mah yummy gross pics mmmPew Pew Pew Pew Pew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Windrider- Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 A lot of masks can have large amounts of similarities, but that doesn't mean they're the same or related. That's about all there is to it, I'm afraid. In any case, you can discuss designs here or here; I don't think this topic is needed for one coincidence.
