I can’t ignore this anymore! Something should be done about it!

Half the people agreeing with the OP are females that care about how their character looks. Maybe you can only operate with wanting something to sexual stimulate you but not everyone thinks one way.

1. I'm Female.
2. I don't recall stating I get sexually stimulated by pixels and polygons (or lack thereof..)
3. A lot of people seriously upset about this aren't upset about it because of aesthetics overall, a lot of people like looking at shapely bodies which is the main reason some are upset about it, denying it is silly.

It's really silly to make an argument about sexual stimulation when it's a common fact that a lot of people that play female characters are attracted to the appearance of them, not necessarily sexual. Personal =/= Sexual, it simply means it's something they care for, which the game clearly continued even though their model was changed.

Or maybe they want their old character back, not one that was butchered? That doesnt seem very personal expecially when no one was warned that the model would be revised, instead we where told we would get new races.

I have a problem with your number 3. Can you read everyone's mind? Do you have cameras in everyone's house monitoring how they play FFXIV? So how do you know why their "real" reason for playing is? Maybe you should stop judging people. Not everyone on the internet is a sexual deviant that wants to ogle some pixels.

If you think people are this way, then I'm thinking that maybe you are trying deflect your own thoughts on others. Which I hope isnt the case.

That's why I personally find it odd out of all of the races (excluding new female versions of old races) they chose Miqote's model to change.

Probably the last point I want to make about the current shape we have is this.
