Let's add those, can't wait to see people dressing them up with the brides maid dress that will be available one day without a gender lock, or bikinis. At least then we get some entertainment while raiding :d

I never really thought about it, but this thread is kind of an interesting social experiment for gamers.
It's really kind of interesting how in a fantasy video game with cat-people, magic, dragons, being immortal (in the sense that when you die you just respawn back at your set location), The way even tho your character has no visible bags - you are still able to carry around not only a large amount of items, but multiple sets of full body gear, as you travel around the world fighting, ........But a fat warrior is what people want to question and apply real-life science as to why it should/could not be possible.
People can be funny sometimes. They question how he/she would keep the weight on while doing all this physical active, but no one ever seems to really question the fact that in-game you do not have to eat or drink. You only do it when you want the buffs you get from it. Not to stay alive and healthy....and yet your not losing any weight from starving. Or falling down from dehydration.
So what ever it is that keeps the character you have right now from losing weight while running around fighting dragons...is what would keep this hypothetical race from losing pounds as well.
lol I feel like watching Hairspray now.
The John Waters original. Not that disappointing remake.

Question how fat character humaniod like character do you see in ff titles bob for tekken isn't even part of ff games name one Square enix game where final fantasy make humaniod character that seen ffix doesn't count because he doesn't look quite humaniod enough
i am guy so please say he.
I got writing disability if you look my early post and thread you notice this
miss i care because we tell people that someone who weigh 600lb can be a hero human send a message that it ok to weigh a lot yet here in really world be overweight cause a lot health concern miss. we have blog on youtube that tell woman that they should proud of weigh a lot and that they should accept that weigh. yet these woman show an image that isn't what is true. fantasy and reality are linked what people see in fantasy effect what they want see in reality.
The "yet here in reality" part is your problem.
The gaming world is the few places where an overweight person can be a hero and you want to toss it out just because it doesn't work in real life?
I guess my character should take twice as long to level up as other peoples characters then since sometimes people of color in real life have to work harder to get places than equally-talented fair skinned people do? Or maybe when they release level up potions, they should only be available to the minority races to simulate "affirmative action" because that's how real life works?
Lets delete all characters that aren't Hyur while were at it.
Like André the Giant? who weight 520 pounds?

Because when I look at him, the term "hero human" kinda fits.
...you know what also causes a lot of heath concerns? attacking wild animals with swords, staffs, spears, brace knuckles and every other weapon in the game.
So are you also advocating that such things be removed from the game out of concern of real-life health risks?
umm if that is true......then you are suggesting that when you are playing this Fantasy game..and you see your character using an axe (or what ever weapon you use) on animals and people...then by your own logic...you want to see that in reality? ......
I WANT THIS!!! WE NEED A CHUBBY RACE!!!
If we end up with the crappy Rabbit Race i hope they at least make the male fat and jolly!!

I think you mean well, but what you've effectively been saying is that only perfect-bodied specimens should be allowed in any visual medium in order to stop heavier people from seeing their weight as something that's "okay", as if seeing a perfect body will inspire them to look like that and change their lifestyle.
There have been many studies and surveys over the past couple of decades urging media to stop doing that because it's largely screwed with a lot of peoples' heads. Maybe some people do get that kind of inspiration to change, but more often people are just shamed and driven to think that they're hideous or flawed and need to correct it, often in dangerous ways. All these pictures and advertisements praising celebrities and models as being the defining image of "beauty", models with seductive faces and often impossibly-perfect bodies that have been edited through Photoshop, it all screams "this is beautiful. This is not you. You're not beautiful. Buy this magazine to find out how to look like this." It's damaging to self-esteem, pushes people into depression, and encourages eating disorders among other problems. Worst cases self-mutilation or death.
You keep bringing up health concerns, and yes, there are health concerns associated with body weight leading to a lower life expectancy. But frankly, everyone has health concerns, regardless of how much or little they eat or exercise. And not all "morbidly obese" people think that their weight is a concern. And that's OKAY! If they're happy with who they are and can lead a life with no regrets, they're the winners in life.
Smiles and happiness are the most attractive qualities anyone can have.
LOL that dance class is dope! Savage Elf! That site has pretty good info, thanks for the pictures and info am going to finish reading it afterthis ill let you know :) WRESTLING!
@CyrusKorry, Yeah I am excited to see a rabbit type, i always liked the forest girls in FF12 and Tactics, i would totally love this! skinny or fat! we want some selection!!!
:)
truth i would love see rabbit race for ff12 myself. when you have asperger synesthetic you don't alway say stuff in best way i know this many time i offend people in worst possible way on facebook. media does like screw with people head it wrong, do i think they add character body sliders no.
at first i didn't want see rabbit race they kind grow on me lol. just make sure we got plenty carrots lie around
Why is calling someone fat worse than plump or chunky?
Yay, no need for strategy or mechanics, just trip and roll over the enemies with your fat butt!
It's pretty subjective, but calling someone "fat" sometimes comes with the meaning, "I find you repulsive." There are plenty of people who, as far as I know, are okay with the label. But not when it's obviously meant in a derogatory way. Some people don't like hearing it at all, whether because they don't like the association or they find it dehumanizing, I don't know.
"Plump" has a "cute" connotation to it.
"Chunky", I think it would be somewhat offensive, but it could still be meant as sort of "cute" or "funny" as children are.
I don't even know what descriptor to use because anything could be offensive if you look at it hard enough to find an angle for it.
:) OKAY! But what i would like to see is the effect of a big belly after consuming a large meal/meals. I think its funny to see somebody eating in the style of monster hunter where they really feast until they drop. Dragon ball Z had this. So I think that seeing a tarutaru lalafell frog down would be funny. Or poofy cheeks from eating big bowl of food! I would like to see that kind of color texture or animation.
They tell me they had a bigger boobs and butts in the old 1.0 game. Id like to see at least that option to choose from muscularity to normality. Also fat people are sometimes extremely healthier than a skinny person and probably can survive longer. The person who said stuff about obesity whoever am sure there are some charms! I wouldn't know, I ain't here to bring anybody down I just think that If you see a big big big big big monster or sumo about to jump on you, you all know that its going to either kill you or hurt. Same as seeing Godzilla walking down the street or whatever. Just trying the ode.
How about that pig-like races in FF 12 ?
sir let me point how you want your desire done please Square enix put ffxiv back into devolopment and remake all the armor the character model the character creator large amount time recoding the games. make possible to meet your desire be that few player include yourself that want the fact the ffxiv hit 6 million mark isn't reason to do it. the fact in 3 year ffxiv has reborn a few these thread came up yet there isn't large enough following to meet the demand isn't called for
I'd also like to point out that only a small percent of people who play actually visit the forums. The best way to really know is, that at the time of logging in a small (and optional) survey popped up asking a quick question or two. Yet here we have a small group of people who "speak" for everyone cus were the only ones heard.
I don't like seeing fat people. I just don't find them aestethically pleasing. I'd rather look at things I consider beautiful.
In the real world, I don't have a choice and that's fine, but I'd rather not have something added to my beautiful fantasy world that takes away from it.
If anything, I'd be fine with a system like Mabinogi has - where the characters gain and loose weight depending on the type of food they eat and how often,
but all of it within specific boundaries that give you the option to be everything from a stick figure to curvy with a little extra, but no giant heap of flesh D:
http://wiki.mabinogiworld.com/images...ght_system.png
But I doubt that kind of flexible system would work with a game of FFXIV's graphical quality ^^°

Wow....anyways.
I think some people are getting ridiculous.
I wouldn't mind things like this, like a little chubbie.
Everyone is egoistic. You wanting a design you like in the game is no different from me wanting it to NOT be in the game.
In the end, what the presumed majority wants will probably be what the developers will go for.
Well, and if it turns out the majority want fat people, I'll just have to deal with it, easy as that.
But before that happens, I am just as free to say that I don't want it as you are to say you want it.
But I never said I wanted it myself. Fat people aren't attractive to me either but it doesn't prevent me from having nothing against it. I know there is people who like fat characters, or just people who would want to make one just for the lulz, and for them I think that it'd be a nice addition to the game and it would overall make the world feel more diverse. Instead of seeing skinny people everywhere, we'd see different body shapes. I'm not here saying things like "huuuh fat people disgust me I don't want to see them in MY game" just because I don't find them attractive. People have different tastes and you should respect that.
So please respect my taste as well.
You just don't have a strong opinion so you are fine either way, but I do NOT want them. And others DO want them.
That's how opinions work. My opinion differs from those who think it would be a great addition.
I think it would make the game worse.
There are many MMOs out there (especially western ones) that cater to all kinds of body type lovers, and that's great.
But leave those of us who do not want to see fat or ugly people/races our games too.
Yea this. Am I the only person who doesn't really care much about looks...and think its all about the inside?
Anyway, I don't really care how someone wants to look IRL or in a game. Let them look however they want. I could really say a lot more but I will shush it as to not derail the thread. Anyway, idk if SE will ever put in a race that has some extra weight on them. I wouldn't mind it...more diversity, why not?
ATOLI!! :) I agree! To each their own taste or fantasy. its just how it is. I just want to see a little more of you in the game. And the stuff i haven't seen that's why i think fat people are cool. And monster characters are unique. That's why i want to see them in our game. I do respect you and your courage, why don't you want to see it? Its not going to stop you from being legendary. I really like people like jack black or kung fu panda he is really funny and fun to be around. He is someone i can relate to in saying a fat character. That's what i was trying to say all along someone like the monster from FF8, and other big types that would add color and style to our game. I think playing as a monster like character such as a zombie would be great too!
I agree! I'm pro development! Pro fat!
an evil German dictator come to mind when you argue it what on inside that count.
if someone is health and show that they are seek to live they life by losing weight, seek live health and commited to live health life to many that important and that a good thing
it isn't just what on inside that matter it what person is will to do with they life and how person will committed to other people that is important
All things considered, I can never take DragoonSantos seriously because I'm 99% sure he's a troll, and I wish most people would ignore this thread. That said, hey it's at 8 pages and I wanna say something in it.
1. Savagelf, you seem like the sort of person I'd wish not to spend time with.
2. Troll thread or not, I'd love for a fat slider to be implemented in game. Even outside of fantasy games it's perfectly possible to be overweight and still do plenty of physical activity, it largely depends on metabolism and genetics.
Just as some examples, look at Sarah Robles! She won bronze in the recent Olympics for the super heavyweight division, and she's not alone in heavy weighted heavy weight lifters! Talking more about athletes and body shape, these two images show a fantastic amount of diversity with regards to body shapes, definitely with a few women you'd look at and definitely wouldn't call "skinny"

It is also important to note that this is also a fantasy game. I can assure you if your tiny lalafell or waifish/sexy miqo'te and Au Ra can run around in armor all day and lift gigantic weapons with easy and also look like they have zero muscle (Also >.> If we ever get a character customization revamp, muscle sliders and better height sliders on everyone would be pretty nice) on their bodies, someone with weight on them could do the same.
no longer offended i will leave this up for some reasons ill finish post later. this is ridiculous. So. i came up with a Super type of cartoon. costume and gadget suitcase with playthings socks snakes and toys that confuse and deal damage by tricking the monster to with transformations and historical dances. Hes a charming superhero type with puppetry shapeshift into really cool beast.
Abilities for superhero w camera in jeans.
diamonds! Rock paper scissors attack!
Blitz uses katana sword from sheath and wine to kill with fire.
microchurch! morale boosting karaoke!,
phones robot karate solar dance
hat or puppet sock technique!
inflatable balloon trick. deals kicks in the with accuracy bootsies! finishing pose!
Transformation,transforming fats up monsters into a plump version TM
bubble gum, and blaster can trap enemy in soap, alot furniture was made! karateshout!! etc.
confuses opponent selfies. dizzying his mana reserves, vampire drain!
pizzamatic dialing! lifts and saves one with fairy assistant phone service. would damage, but i think it would be funny to see him lift up and fail to support and attempt to bribe.
"boulder" righto. I think he could Jeah! I thinks that fart movements with rara speaking of this music is thrilling me, perhaps pizza do well about now, have a good night.
He does a lot of martial arts and throws people, or pretends to.I forgot.
to be honest i do weigh about 250 lb and am tried lose the weight in really life. since i love sweet things that hard thing such ice cream and soda and like to do haha
i know he was troll but i kind gave in sorry
You know, I was gonna ignore this thread, because I thought it was clickbait, but after reading that last post, I feel I need to speak up a bit.
To the OP: Yeah, I'm betting this is a troll, but I would like sliders to give more individuality to our characters. There only so many times you can keep seeing different versions of Thancred or Y'shtola...
Still, the fact that Square has problems with a "butt-slider" means it might not happen anytime soon, if at all. Ah, well. That's what Blade and Soul is for.
To Savagelf: Yeah, I would take that sorry more sincerely if I thought you didn't mean all those negative, stereotypical, hurtful things you typed out in your posts. Even worse, because you admitted that you're not exactly thin yourself, it seems the posts were just your own attempt at self loathing. I mean this honestly, work on your self-respect as well as your weight. You'll be better for it. ...and, no you won't suddenly get it when you lose weight. Don't fall for that trap.
I'm not a troll and i find it offtopic. Now with that in mind. I was gonna say, savage you are all right! And btw, its all will power, i've seen people transform all that fat into a really muscular body! The skater from air gear who likes to eat uses this kind of shapeshifting.
On, topic! they need to bring in a bunch new races and options to balance characters or everyone is going to have a clone, that's why i suggested a better character creator. New recruits and options for mixing features or combining races to make what you like, we have ambrosia!
Heavy things I wanna see, well i think destructive environments and a dive roll attack.
Tbh, it would be hilarious if you could make a fat Elzen and then get some way of making the earth shake when you walk.
