Sorry for wanting to look like this...I guess as a straight girl who modeled my character after myself, I am wanting to get off on myself :( (again, sarcasm lol)

Yea these look really good. I would much rather have updated bodies or these inplace of a new race as someone said earlier.

I could not agree more.

I'm a vote for proportional bodies as well. At a bare minimum, sliders. No reason not to. I personally find the forced choice of a diety, and all the semi-occultic aspects of the game more concerning then the apparent body shapes in the game...and yet I'm still capable of overlooking those and play it!

Not sure why adding more shape would concern people...there are just as many people out there who sexualize thin shapes as there are those who sexualize curvy shapes...or even thick shapes for that matter. Don't believe me? look at the crop of fashion models over the last 2 decades. If anything, this game is promoting the exact same issue that those models do. that for some reason skinny is better. I'ts not. adding more curve or more thickness options would be better IMO for people in general. Personally, I find it less of a sexualization issue and more of a pointed direction in design.

The sheer fact that it's so flat that it's noticeable should say something. I often won't noticed some body features if they look what I would consider "normal". Like the calves and legs on most the models look very normal to me (a bit long, but proportion isn't out of whack) But when I see a pair of legs literally shrink as they come into the glutes area...It seems pointed. Like they shrunk them to prove something. That's just as bad IMO as making them too big. better to just let people set them for what they like.

I'd like a shoulder slider too...to me looking at my character is weird bc her shoulders are so small XD but maybe my friends/family are weird and everyone else has no upper body? lol

There were 4 groups of people listed there - you targeted the Christian for what can only be observed as a bias towards them - To the Japanese, the body form is deadlock and there is nothing wrong with them...

Most of the time - we'll eat that 30 mins if we run across someone that we simply do not want anything to do with (which we don't usually have to because folks always fill in house)

Nice try tho - The hide player character model is already STANDARD in the SDK, with enough support, would be very simple to implement =)

Trying - Not really, the development team is seeing this thread which includes my suggestions and concerns so my mission is complete - you on the other hand might need to go out and get some air for that headache (^-^)

I can assure you if the development team is looking at this thread they are probably dying of laughter and how silly most of what you said here is, Do not kid your self. Nothing you "suggested" is even remotely worth taking into considiration, because it's a joke.

Look, i'm not going through this with you again. But that was funny to read. so thank you.

On topic, I wouldn't mind another couple of notches
on the bust slider. Not remotely asking for adult starlet
proportions of course, but as it is even the largest
size is barely noticeable in most gear.

I was going to mention this. I'm guilty for loving boobs, so my slider is at the max, but the only gear I've worn thus far that makes it look like I have anything are the coatees, yet bikini tops and the like seem to make them actually look smaller. :|

I don't want to look like an adult star either. In fact my character is usually covered from head to toe, but it's not like SE avoids giving females well-endowed proportions. Just google image Tifa Lockhart. But yeah, I would like bigger boobs please.
