Not just Viera but Miqo'te and Hrothgar as well.
The initial emotes in the game are way superior in how they use the racial features like the ears standing up. The other ones completely ignore that and are basically Hyur.
They can and should put more work into that because the bones are actually there and not hard to use either.

@topic
I personally don't need too many sliders and if they are there they should be limited to an extent because I can do without the abominations that are some mods out there.
Hair, skin and eye color wheel for better options, more faces to choose from and an actual update to the base body because it's still kinda low res compared to the faces and the fluffy Miqo'te tail is actually just a cross shape with hairs on it if you look closely.

Truth be told though I only need one simple button.
"Display racial features at all times".

Edit:
Also, all the options like butt sliders won't help if the gear ignores it like it does with bust size so often.

I mean they shouldn't be extreme or anything, but I don't see how adding subtle sliders to say, make the arms limbs slightly more muscular, is a bad thing. Nor do I see a problem with a butt slider (or butt size selection) as long as it's kept within realistic limits.

subtle facial sliders for the eyes/lips/nose could also be used to make people's characters look more like they used to prior to Dawntrail as well.

That said I could live without them, but they would be nice to have imo.

It's things like separating Au Ra Horns from faces and variety in skin texture/some sort of skin makeup that I think they definitely should do, so that you could say, put freckles on your body. Plus it would enable the WOL to have an archon tattoo in case they choose to put it on if there's a quest in the future where the WOL becomes an archon. I might be getting ahead of myself there, though.

My absolute top on the wishlist would be facial sliders and new face presets. Something like what Gw2 has, where I could edit the shape, size, rotation, debt and distance of each feature to make my character more unique and enjoyable to me, without making the character creation too complicated or allowing people to create the aforementioned "monstrosities".

Body sliders would be next on the list, though I can survive without them, if I could have them, I would want them. Though I'm actually kinda surprised that body sliders seem to be more a more wished upon compared to face sliders or face options when looking at the different discussions, not that they wouldn't be nice to have (though I will riot if we get body sliders before face sliders.)

My last would be adjusting and selecting animations. Despite the popular opinion, I love the hyur princess run and would love to have it on my other characters but the Auras walking animation looks better so I would give that to my hyur. I also love lot of the Viera animations and would love to use them on my hyur along with highlander dance animation. So yea overall, allowing us to pick and choose different animations for different emotes for our characters would be superb.

I’d love to be able to choose my emote animations. I’d never give up my Seeker slit pupils and cat ears, but I would like to have some different animations for emotes such as /joy.

Sims 3 like sliders . And unrestricted hair (race specific hairs) Thats what i want :)

Things I'd like to see...

-Body sliders/selection, basic stuff that this game has been missing for way too long, let me add/remove girth from my characters please.

-More/better skin options, especially for the rest of the body not just the face, freckles, scars, flush etc.

-More aged and rugged faces, especially for fem characters (why is this option gender locked! just let me play as an old woman!)

-More/better beard options, I'm still baffled about them adding a whole new head to masc midlander that is an exact copy of another head just to add stubble to it.

-Decoupling au'ra horns from the faces, this is an old ask and also a no-brainer addition, I'm sure plenty out there pick a face while longingly looking at another's horns and vice versa.

-Decoupling Hrothgar hair highlights from their fur patterns, either a half separation (separate toggles but shared color) or a full separation (toggle and color is not shared at all) and honestly...

-More race/clan specific toggles and options! examples being things like not having the xaela's dark sclera and raen's blue tongue be gender locked (add toggles to both genders) as well as fang toggle for miqo'te (why would seekers not have fangs??? why does keepers have fangs???)

I'm sure there is more but these are the first things i can think of, I do like the sound of letting hyur have access to Hilda's pointed ears, half race options would be interesting to see.

My head canon for certain gear ignoring the bust size is: The female use some strong as can be binding or tape to cover their chest before they put the gear on
