We still care deeply about the Shape of our characters..[Dev Request]

[RyuRoots]

Thought this was going to be a serious thread about future races and things. Then it just turned into 'we need bigger bums'.. Really now?

Would not be surprised if this is at the bottom of the list to do or not at all.

A "serious" thread about whining for stupid things like Viera? Yes, makes much more sense than wanting more thorough character customization for the races we have.

That's what you got from this topic? Really? For those who played 1.X, their characters were changed for 2.X forward, the actual shape and stature of the characters changed (some more than others ). It's not about having a bigger bum, it's about restoring what was lost, and restoring some sense to the character models. Given how much of this game comes down to aesthetics and how beautiful the game, world and characters are, the limitations on character models and their interaction with gear is a glaring issue.

As someone pointed out earlier, more customization of our existing characters should come ahead of introducing another player race.

Were the butts really so different in 1.0?

Or is it just nostalgia, along with the different lighting and graphics that the game uses now? For me, butts is something I rarely notice/look at...and I'd cringe if I saw some Nicki Minaj butts running around Eorzea...lmao.

That thread was equally as stupid. Reasoning was given as to why it wast a good idea. This issue has also had a reason why. Heaven forbid there is logical reasoning why but no, if people speak, cry and moan loud enough surely the developers will hear! There are also a lot more customisation options that would be more feasible then having a bigger bum.

No I actually got a different idea about the topic.. until a picture of a scantly clad au ra was pictured below the breasts pretty much says what they want. This bum is too small! The responses in this thread. We need bigger bums. It says it all really.

I think more people would be up for another race. Isn't that why Au Ra were introduced? Y'know for more customisation. Isn't this way all the new hairstyles, the various face paints we have are for more customisation? Isn't this also why they are introducing new glamour armours?

The entire stance, and angle of the Miqo'te female has changed as has her physique. It looks like someone carved their rear ends from them, although in general it looks like their physique has become less feminine. I believe that there were changes to other races as well coming from 1.x to 2.x.

Character customization goes beyond hair color make-up and clothing, but you sound like you've already made up your mind to dismiss player concerns in this matter, so I really see no point in trying to persuade you otherwise.

From an anatomical perspective... our butts should be large and lifted. We run, lift heavy weapons, run in armor, jump hundreds of feet....

We should have some severely toned and shaped muscles on our rear ends.

Absolutely. There was even a developer post made specifically regarding the issues with the buttocks explaining why they had to change it. If it wasn't such a big change, they wouldn't need lead developers making a public appearance to calm the masses.

It would appear they need to schedule another appearance, the masses are not calmed...

replying here since I hit posting limits....lol

More like there's just a few extremely vocal people that keep dredging this issue up over and over again.

Squeaky wheel gets the oil...

Personally, I could care less about it and would rather see them work on other things.

Of course this is just one of several things on the list of things that need improvement, and it's probably not top of the list for me either, but it's on the list.

Does anyone know of a game that has actually changed base models 3+ years after the fact? I mean, I suppose more sliders could always be added, but I personally don't know of any games that have done that (granted my game range is small - 4-5 MMOs)
