Proportionate Bodies

Not everyone with a glorious top, has a bottom to match. ;P

Just RP the bits in, this is a JP MMORPG, if they didn't add this sort of detail into FFXI I don't think they will be doing it here.

Considering FFXI was a game that came out in 2003, I don't think they had that kind of tech yet and had a different producer (I believe it was Tanaka, and for the record.. Elvaan Women were pretty hot but thats just me I guess lol)

I have to agree with the person you quoted. Our characters already look good and are actually physically proportionate for their weight and appearance. People just want their characters to look like porn stars and/or anime girls: both of which seem to always be less than 100 lbs. with double D bra sizes and fake butts.

I don't know about 100 lb cat girls and dragon girls but Roes sure don't have proportionate bodies. What muscular athlete has a butt like this?

It doesn't look realistic. There is a middle ground somewhere between Hank Hill and butt implants. This is what I would expect to see from someone who runs, jumps, kicks and is generally active (because the butt has some muscle too and not just fat):

You do know women can naturally be small and have a larger butt or bust size? Having a larger bust or butt does not make you a porn star or anime girl. People naturally have different sizes. Being under 100 lbs doesn't mean you're automatically a size A or B.

I wouldn't mind body sliders at all, within reason. Sometimes, I look at my character and think, "Poor thing could use a sandwich or two."

Well some of us do, so let us have it in game too please ;)

I just want some bread in the basket and maybe, just maybe, some options other than being a eunuch for men. Nothing ridiculous, just enough so that you'd think there might actually be something there.

"Two things are infinite: the universe and the number of times bigger butts and boobs will be asked for in a video game forum."

What if the slider was just a "horizontal expansion" (>_>) slider? Want big boobs and a big butt? Okay, everything gets super-sized! Big face, big hands, big belly, big feet, big arms, big back! That's a far more realistic request that would actually provide character design variation, because while a lot of players want big boobs/butt and a tiny waist (little variation), much fewer would take the plunge and go with "big everything". There would be a lot more grey area inbetween to balance the opposing desires.

Agreed. Muscular people tend to have butts. Busts aren't too bad in this game tbh, they could use work, but my main issue is it looks hella awkward to see toothpick hips on a Roe lady. </3

And I'm sure people are gonna think I'm a perv for saying this, but for all the chub on my lala, why is there no butt?? Bust would look weird on her, but there should be butt, just because of how body fat distribution works irl. :P

Also males need to stop looking like Ken-dolls. I don't expect a big change (unless it's Roe males lol), but they should at least look like dudes.

Absolutely. There are always rare circumstances for everything. But, breast size is based heavily on body fat percentage. And being under 100 lbs doesn't mean you are automatically an A or B, I get that. But as a whole, (proportionately speaking) petite girls aren't going to be a size D. If they are, well, let's just say they probably went to see Dr. Manderville for a consultation.

I'm repeatedly told that Lalafails are their own race, and are fully mature, and reproduce in the normal manner. Why wouldn't they have breasts?
I'm not saying I actually care if they have them (I'd rather see the entire race disappear). I'm just curious what reversed evolutionary logic says they shouldn't have breasts?

Have you ever seen a female non-human animal in your entire life?

Yes, I have. What is your point?
Mammals have breasts. It's kind of one of their distinguishing characteristics. I guess I can accept the premise that Lalafels are actually ceramic Hallmark collectibles, and therefore have no need to feed their offspring in the normal way. I will have to investigate this premise with an appropriate-sized hammer.

Do you even read what you type before pressing Post? Who in their right mind talks like this?

Girls like me are not that rare, under or around 100 lbs with D to DD. Most of us go to the doctor for the opposite to get a reduction because of back issues or dummies who think big breasts are fake sexual objects. People are different and some people would like to embrace how they actually look instead of what people think the average person should look like. It's kind of sad that you think if someone doesn't look the way "you" think they should look, it means they had plastic surgery. That's the reason why some women hate their bodies and actually wish they were born with different sized body parts. If you have big breast or butt, you're considered overly sexy or you wanted to look like that. Yet people wonder why women have body issues.

My apologies on the last sentence as I admit, it was a dumb joke. However, I never said how people should or shouldn't look or even my preference. But go ahead and put words in my mouth about how I think this and that (when I actually never gave an opinion, just facts). I simply pointed out that on average, girls around that weight have an average size. The same is true with guys. Guys of a certain weight and height have an average build. There are variables to the above (genetics, hormones, etc.) but we are talking about natural proportionate body sizes here not your ideal body image.

Thank you. I agree that body frame is not average but it is not so rare that you can justify calling women who look like that surgically altered. Or that only porn stars/anime girls look like that. Saying that women who look like that probably went to a MD for surgical alterations is your opinion. The was the only point I was trying to make is not everyone fits in a box so it's not cool to label people. But seriously thanks for realizing the jokes weren't cool.

Basically the more sexual parts of the bodies in this game are non-existent. The girls butts are way, way too little and the poor men don't even have any equipment at all.
So to me, everyone looks like horizontal poles. They just don't seem to be what they could if the proportions were right. I'm not really sure why the characters were made this way. They could have had it and it still would have remained T for Teen I'm positive.

Doesn't anyone else out there agree with me?

Speaking of proportionate why is there a ban on FAT people? That seems like profiling!! Fat people (fat with muscles maybe) can fight and adventure too. They like spoils from encounters and they have needs for housing, gear, horses etc. Stop the BAN!!

the only reason i can think of, of why we don't have fat body option for our characters is because of how they made the armors/glamour and models scale. i think per race it's fixed to a certain (aspect?)ratio to the average/default race/gender build so makeing armor and the models stretch horizontally isn't possible yet i think or would break how armors are scaled

what i meant by fixed ratio is like when you increase the height slider, the body mass grows in proportion to the height increase to maintain a fixed build i think this makes it easier for them do make armor/model designs

Booty sliders

As well as a bigger butt, I'd like to make mi quo te and Hyer male with more athletic build. Big shoulders and chests, v shape, small waist meaty butt, thighs and calves. A realistic tank would be built like well... a tank!

Mammals have mammary glands, but most mammals don't have swollen breasts until it's actually time to use them.
