..you really wanna pull the 'christian' card into this? You're refering to a game that openly uses black magic *gasp* and yet said christian gets offended over the request for a simply more natural female form? Your arguement of oversexuality was laughable before...but now you've shot it dead center in the foot with that nonsense.Quote:

11-08-2016, 07:50 AMRyukoHey, those of us who don't have big trunks or chests would appreciate if people would stop using phrasing like 'more natural form'. =/ You can argue your case for wanting bigger lumps without saying having smaller lumps is 'unnatural'.Quote:

Yet, when I made her cosplay, my chest is noticeably smaller than the source images... and I am an A cup... so let's compare these lumps to *real life* proportions. I think the problem is that so many people are used to seeing larger lumps in videogames that when they see something closer to the average size, they think it's too small. I'm not going to cry that it's 'oversexualization', but rather that people are used to something much larger than the true average sizes among humans. We can argue that the average woman in the US would have larger behinds and chests, but remember this is an international game made for an international audience. -
11-08-2016, 08:04 AMLokierGod no, the Miqo'te smallest cup is a CC-D, minimum. That's "small" in a man's eyes, apparently. And yes, I would say that we've been bombarded with way too many fake images of what a woman looks like.Quote:

In fact, I've watched animation reviews where people were outraged by the fact that a woman character was not drawn with "visible" lumps, unlike the other female characters. So apparently women aren't even considered women if they don't have boobs that you can see... -
11-08-2016, 08:12 AMRyukoHmm, I don't think it's a D, but it's definitely not an A. My most recent cosplay was the SMN esoteric set, and that is already a little fluffy because of the material on the himation (toga thing), yet my character's chest goes out A LOT even beyond this. I used a padded bra and my chest barely makes a dent beyond the fabric (which is honestly tighter to my body than I think the game is). So that was a huge wakeup call that even I am biased and I thought my character's chest was closer to my size, when in reality it is not.Quote:

So one inch would be A, two would be B, etc.) The only way to truly *figure this out* would be to have a perfect measurement for an inch compared to screenshots in the game. If you are like me and chose your character to be a specific height (mine is 5 feet tall), you could theoretically calculate this and put the issue to bed once and for all. I actually recently calculated out the size of Garuda-Egi using this method so I could put that issue of people saying egis are too small to bed. Haha... Garuda-Egi is about 3.5 feet tall (from tip of the outstretched leg/boot to the tip of the head flares) and more than 5 feet wide (full outstretched wingspan) if you were curious. -
11-08-2016, 08:46 AMAnaviAnaelPlease don't lump all of us Christians into your argument. Most of us really don't care. We play a game where we have to choose a guardian deity before we make our character and use magic as a regular means of teleportation. Paganism is rampant in Eorzea. If this really bothers you that much then I suggest creating a community of friends to do stuff together and stay in your FC house so you don't have to run into potentially offensive people.Quote:
