    I've only read about the first 7 pages of this thread but I want to be another Viera player to cast my thoughts in on this, as I do main one. (Edit: I went back and read the rest of the thread)

    For the Male Viera: I don't know if the graphics update preview showing Face 1 with the nose darken toggle is on or off, but I do not like how dark and shiney the male viera's nose is (in combination). It might be that his nose is pointy and all of these things added together do not scream "bunny" to me, it feels off. I feel if the graphics are to go the route of going darker they shouldn't be as shiney (because it looks wet or greasy), or the noses should be flat (like a bunny), or if they're to be pointy- it shouldn't be 7 shades darker than his skin tone. So maybe give us options, like a lighter to darker shade slider for the nose? I don't know how well to phrase this but it literally looks like the male bun took a smudge stick and rubbed it all over his nose. It doesn't match his skin tone in any way, and it immensely bothers me- to the point where I'm wondering if I want to remain male Viera for Dawntrail =/

    For the Female Viera: I appreciate the display of showing dark skin tones but perhaps showing an additional example would have benefitted here? Like so many before, an option to keep the previous noses would be appreciated if the intent is to remove the bunny-type noses entirely. Which would be unfortunate because many people, like myself, love that and it's one of the many reasons we chose Viera to begin with. I'm struggling with the phrasing but finding a happy medium between the darker top of the nose, and the lighter bottom of the nose is what's going to make all of us happy. I think the best way to provide that is to give us a palette of colors based off our skin tone that we choose, a slider, or something among those lines /shrug

    EDIT: It might be something to show what we'll look like in wet/hot environments bc watching the benchmark, the shine isn't really there
