This thread is about butts.

especially because if you understand anything about game development, and this game in particular,

If YOU understood anything about games development, then you'd know that it would be a rather simple task to repair it. So before you go pointing fingers check your facts.

As someone who actually works in 'games development', this is something that I know for isn't completely beyond repair.
A simply mesh deformer would fix the issue, but at the cost of processing time and memory which is why (for the time being) it wouldn't even be remotely considered.

But it's not a far fetched idea considering the original low-poly models and high-resolution texture layers used in version 1.0>1.23 still exist. All the original data for these still exist and are easily reversible to a certain extent.

This is what the FFXIV Forums are for discussing and expressing what you would like to be added, changed or adjusted.
Deal with it.

this is ridiculous. they aren't going to change the character models for you. sorry. better find something else negligible to complain about.

So you're saying to abandon this "negligible" campaign in favor of something else that's negligible? Well that's just... redundant. We've already seen, by how this game has evolved, that if we're loud enough about it they'll eventually do something about it. Just look at the breast thing, originally there was no scaling and they were small, they said no but people pressed on and now we have a slider. If FFXIV seeks to become the best, it's the little things that will bring this game past the others. If the devs really will never listen to us then you have nothing to worry about, and have no reason to reprimand us for making our concerns heard.

We're all on the same side here; we want the game to get better. Let's work positively, if there are things you want in this game, make a thread! Let us hope all of our suggestions are heard and if they deny us, show them how important it is to us, and plead they reconsider.

Asking for a graphical update that can be enabled/disabled for people who want it is not entirely out of the question or unreasonable.

I'd like to remind people that Blizzard recently (I believe middle of last year) introduced a graphical update to World of Warcraft that you could turn on/off if you so pleased.

If SE is taking most of their ideas from WoW (which they appear to be doing) then this is one idea which is totally viable for the future.

You guys realize that threads like these are why people view gamers in such a bad light, right?

You realize that posts like yours simply exacerbate the problem, right?

From an artistic standpoint, I would like more customizability to my character. A butt/hip slider would be an interesting addition.

You are incorrect. The negative gamer stereotype has long since died and few people still have that view.

As a side note, we have more "physics-assisted animation" (lol) now than we did in the old version which, to me, was completely unnecessary and if they were going to do that then they could have left the butts alone...

....You clearly have no idea what "physics assisted" means. ARR doesn't have it at all, and judging from PC/PS4 videos, it doesn't have it either. FFXII used it more than this game currently does.

Edit: Just so I wont be a douche..."physics assisted (LOL)" refers to the animations dynamically being influenced by the environment. Like feet planting on uneven terrain, transitions, tail physics, leaning into directions and other stuff. It was removed because the animations in ARR are much more robust, which would make transitioning and such really difficult. So now you know.

I'm going to assume YOU'RE just talking about boob physics. Which isn't nearly the same thing, but yeah is in ARR because of how simple it is.

Merge all current zones into one endless zone and you pretty much have endless hellscapes of nothing again with a few places to look at here and there.

Once again...just no. You have to be some crazy type of biased to even suggest that.

I just want the male Elvaan butts from FF11. Now those were butts.

Which makes it a non-simple task to "repair" it. Which is retarded to even suggest because it was done on purpose.


No, you guys really have absolutely no clue how game development works to suggest anything is a "simple fix" if it isn't on a schedule to be done. Knowing how to round out the ass on a model does not suggest you know shit about game development.

And i don't know why people are still complaining about this. The models were changed on purpose and nothing short of an extensive graphical update would say otherwise. The models are designed to be clothed, and thats what the dev team is (and should be) focusing their attention.

And by telling SE we want it, maybe they will put it on their schedule to be fixed. I certainly hope that, should it be placed on a schedule, everyone who needs to know will see it.
