I can’t ignore this anymore! Something should be done about it!

I like big butts and I can not lie

they basically had to sacrifice the butts to give birth to Miqote males and such.

Much like Eve was created from one of Adam's ribs, so too were the male Miqo'te created from the butts of catgirls.

This is what happens when a games character creator sucks and you cant even make a character the way you really want. Whats the point of the little options we have if they do nothing to change our characters shapes?

Hello,

First off, apologies for the delay in responding about this topic. Below is a response from the lead designer himself, Takeo Suzuki.

Hello,
Lead designer Takeo Suzuki here.

We understand that you all care deeply for the detail and shape of your characters, and while the development team is really happy about this, we would like to keep the specifications for character’s butts as they are.

I’d like to explain a bit about why we changed the shape of character model’s butts. It all began when Yoshi-P and the character team sat down and reconsidered what should be prioritized for players when we moved from 1.0 to A Realm Reborn.

Based on this discussion it was decided to place emphasis on the below:

• New races (male Miqo’te, female Highlanders, and female Roegadyn.)
• Increase the amount of content and the amount of reward items (equipment and weapons)
  (We want to make a team that can create more than four times the amount of rewards compared to what there was originally.)

As a result of thinking about what could be done to fulfill the above objectives all while converting everything over and optimizing all the data by completely remaking the graphics engine, we decided to reduce the cost by simplifying items that were too complex when making them. One aspect of this was the graphical display of waist equipment.

I deeply apologize for those of you who were really partial to what Miqo’tes looked like in 1.0, but this decision was made so we could relaunch with new races and a lot of new equipment. We will be implementing a wide variety of really cool looking equipment moving forward, and we appreciate your understanding on this.

And then the gods cut the asses off of Miquote everywhere. From those asses grew new races and armors. There was much rejoicing, and later much sadness.

[ashikenshin]

now I feel sad.

[Ryihito]

Ah that's a shame. Oh well.
