A suggestion regarding height.

It probably wouldn't matter for most other races though, since the gender height gap is smaller.

This is probably the most valid of all objections to the OP's suggestion. Go in the char creator and play with the height slider a bit. Notice that it's not actually a height slider per se, it's a scale slider. Going up makes the character bigger in all dimensions--which means taller = wider too.

The minority will ALWAYS have less choice. No two ways around it.

With the exception of Roegadyn and Au Ra not a single race exceeds a foot difference between the shortest woman and the tallest guy. Besides, peolpe say "beggers aren't choosers" but that certainly doesn't mean we cant throw more scraps towards people who want QoL additions like this.

I know there's ways to increase height strictly client side via some.. things, and there was that glitch involving dismounting a while back, it doesn't look that odd, just "bigger" in a lazy way. Does it solve the problem? No, but it's better than nothing.

Wouldn't SE have to do some serious work? It's more than just "Give us an option in the character creator" they would have to redo gear and skill animations. I believe they would have to redo all the NPCs as well, I could be wrong. A lot of times in mmos majority of the npcs are made off the same character models.

I rather they give us butts, these horrible, horrible, flat butts have to go. D:

I'm tall enough to reach the floor!

Yep -- as the poster I quoted said, it probably doesn't really matter except for Au Ra.

No, I'm fairly dure armor and skill animations function normally and look just fine. On girl roegadyn at height level 1 or 100 (a foot difference, ie what all races would be dealing with except the au ra and roegadyn ) they look perfectly fine, sure there may be some clipping or vaguely awkward looking models, but no more than what we've already got. I suppose they might have to make some changes to NPC, but I'm not sure either.

Butt slider requires either more data points to be spent per character (which isn't possible now) or would cause some really odd clipping with most gear (as they're not mapped to fit around butts with curves). It's a nice minor thing, and while I would say "think with the head on your shoulders not the one in between your legs", I'm actually curious why on earth is this user base obsessed with butts being the priority in any character customization suggestion thread.

It's still noticeable to the point where most male Miqo'te j meet are taller than me. Its a minor change to every race (note any additional hair or whatever option is also a minor change!). It'd take more finessing with the Au Ra, but I don't see why it shouldn't be done. So yes, it's minor, should it still be done? Yes. You can't say "it's too minor to actually matter" whIle also going "it'd look too major or a change (in ways that don't affect me or my character)" the latter is why I quoted you previously.

But since the character the character is taller/shorter wouldn't some skills be different? Along with some armor? Since the character data for a taller female roe doesn't exist?

Don't think with the head between my legs? I'm not sure how I would be able to do that since I'm a girl :P. I have a gripe about the butts in every mmo except Aion and Black Dessert. My culture is used to/likes bigger butts and I just think flat butts look horrible. In every game there's a boob slider, why not butt? Even though I know it's not going to happen here due to ps3 limitation (which is what they actually said lol).


I'm also sad I can't make my character's thighs thicker v.v

I'm actually for additional customization. One of the threads that came before this one did suggest having alternative body types instead of just a linear slider (kinda like the highlander/midlander difference, but in that thread they wanted something more like an Alphinaud/Alisae build for elezen). But anyways, just commenting on some of the technical issues that might be there.

Honestly, I feel a lot of people are expecting too much from a MMO that was basically rushed, using existing assets and toned down and cut corners to be release in a timely fashion. I've come to the conclusion that if it doesn't take 1 2 3 to implement, it's not happening.
