Who said anything about sexism? And sexist deals with sex of the characters, not their weight.
Can't we just accept that Square likes more realistic proportions and not triple D melons hanging off their chest?

Theres a difference between the artistic beauty of a human body and being a perv. Making every girl in the game or every miqo'te have giant knockers -is- sexist. Giving people a choice to make their character how they want it to look isn't. And really people should be able to choose weight and stuff too but i'm guessing that would make it really hard to dev equipments since they would stretch on larger chars and may get distorted or look weird.
I could go on for days about the relationship between a woman's weight/build and the size of their breasts. Also, I can pick out fake ones from a mile away. Those are the people who feminists should be after, since they chose to enlarge their breasts. I'm after them too, but in a different way.
Can't we all just agree we're all after mammoth mammaries but for different reasons? Let us agree to disagree. And I'm not trying to force an upsize on anyone! Choice is exactly what I'm advocating. If someone, during their character creation says "Hey, can you take a little off the top", they should have that right. And by the same token, if they want to say "SUPA-SIZE IT!", heck they should have that option too.
And since we're all preaching realism, there should be "special animations" for splashing in cold water, exploring the icy Tundras or having Frost cast on us. Maybe a status icon too, like "Extra Perky".
I remember reading that there was such an option to change sizes during one of the betas but they removed it for certain "reasons". Can't find the article that had this info in it though.
There was never such an option, even in the earliest public alpha version. It's always been tied to other choices like face type.
You're probably remembering a Sankaku Complex "article" that talked about it. The guy is just a blogger who tries to make his posts sound more like news, and exploits language barriers to convince people of whatever he feels like. His site makes the spin at Fox News look smalltime.
Same place everyone got the rumor that FFXIV development was outsourced to China and they had changed the name of chocobos, neither of which were true. It's completely transparent to anyone who speaks Japanese, but he preys on people who don't and think "oh, he got it from someone who wrote it in Japanese, so it must be true."
I came for the snacks. :< Where they be?

Wow, something's wrong with the XIV forums. Not only did it log me into WoW, it connected me to Trade chat!
