Budget was likely tight, as well, as investors were justifiably skeptical given the horrendous bomb the original 1.0 was. Now, though, the game has had several years of rather impressive success. I could definitely see the devs having a lot more development wiggle room - such as the ability to redesign armor to fit an unusual frame for a new race, rather than modify the frame to fit the standard armor.
    I'm a bit skeptical because SE isn't exactly the best on technology where it counts, especially UI design. You also have the fact even interviews not too long ago cited the problem as well.

    I am curious to see how the system will be updated come the Japan Fanfest since we are having other changes to the system.

    The final concern is if you're going to warp armor to fit new body types, you'll still hit a backlash (if they don't adjust it) that people want their body types fleshed out a bit more as well. So "hey we're gonna do all this for X race" and not revisit the older races for similar adjustments may not fly well with the community at all.
