And there we go. Now men have a small idea of what it's like for women to hear all the complaints about wanting gigantic breasts.

Rofl how can a game that can be good also give you stuff that can be so wrong? XD Every time in FFXI when I saw a guy in the metallic panties, I'd think about how wrong that looked.

Where is that gold subligar we were promised?

Nevermind, found it. Star-Spangled Subligar! ;)

But then you'd see a elvaan woman or mithra wearing them and be like. "Feels good man!"

I don't see a problem. There is a wide range for a slider system, just limit it so that the chars don't look ugly and add enough presets for the lazy people. And let me have the freedom of designing my own char.

They shouldn't cause any problems, it's just a transformation (scaling) matrix multiplied with the base model (simplified example), it doesn't even take much processing power. And since they are already using character models in cutscenes and don't care much about collision detection anyway (miqo'te tails sometimes piercing through armor etc), it won't get any worse visually.

How can anyone forget the the goblin's fracking codpiece? Gods I love it lol!

I'm hoping that we get sliders, I think that would be rather cool. Also have presets for people that find it too much to handle.
