Apparently, Gary Scott is still sporting the very unfortunate "massive pink lips" black stereotype in his little tutorial chibi form:
I am really hoping that this is just artwork from an earlier build and not part of the final one, they literally have to alter two frames (both visible here:

I know those are supposed to be just some silly and exaggerated cute representations of the players, but the huge potato-looking noses are more than enough to achieve that goal. I doubt there's any malicious intent from the artists, feels more like an unfortunate oversight that can and should be changed. Even the original Japanese devs managed to avoid that particular pitfall all the way back in 1994.
Personally, I feel like this leaves a nasty stain on a game that is very obviously being made with a ton of love and attention. Dotemu devs, please do better.
