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

I understand people have good intentions but it kind of annoys me a little when people just relate these kind of threads to having a bugger butt and making it much more trivial than it is.

There is absolutely no diversity on body shapes other than the breast slider for most races. The muscle slider isn't even available to most, and even that is barely noticeable. Height is a given. It doesn't help that we are extremely limited with facial options and are forced to have certain markings/colours/horns based on race and gender. For a game this old, the amount of customisation options is getting to be slightly annoying.

Also, I understand this is a Japanese game, and they may not want to implement certain customisation for certain reasons (body hair and weight sliders come to mind) but this is absolutely no excuse for how limited we are.

I think this is a big factor in explaining why our customization seems so limited. Japan specifically has very little bio-diversity among their population, so being slender and having black hair and almond-shaped eyes is the norm, and by a large margin. Living in any European or North American country especially, seeing people of all shapes and sizes, colors and styles, is the norm. Japan, as a general culture, tends to stress more on uniformity and not standing out too much. So it's very possibly that this just isn't important to the developers because to them, they may think that compared to their home culture, we have a ton of options. Whereas in western culture, the options we have aren't very diverse at all, given what we have all grown up around.
