The 'PS3 limitations' comments are almost entirely nonsensical power fantasies made up by insecure console-hating technophobic PC users who blame all of the game's shortcomings on an easy scapegoat. There were legitimate PS3 limitations, like the fact that the framerate and interface on PS3 sort of sucked as it became more and more outdated and cramped, which in turn held back to complexity of the interface on other platforms.

But 99.9% of everything you see people blame on 'PS3 limitations' is actually caused by server or network limitations, and killing PS3 support means nothing.

In this case, the number of unique models between races was simplified for ARR to make adapting future gear and other boring elements easier/faster/cheaper for S-E, and female Miqo'te were affected. In addition, big butts aren't as much of a selling point in Japan and the game has a very defined aesthetic to suit its target market.

And we all know how options for character creation are strictly limited, to the point where we can't have Au Ra horns and faces as separate choices. If they do decide to give us more configuration options, which Yoshida knows is a much-requested improvement, this could be included in the change.
