We have Bust sliders, but no Butt sliders? What’s the difference?

I couldn't care less about this sort of stuff, but I remember reading about it somewhere once. It was a discussion on Reddit, and then somebody posted a link to some kind of information feed archive. You might want to take what I'm saying with a grain of salt because of that.

Apparently, It was a lazy rearrangement of butt vertices in the character models to prevent clipping with certain kinds of gear. There was no thought put into it. It just happened.

Now, in order to patch it out, they would actually have to develop and issue a patch for it. I imagine, at this point, it's a publicity thing. And that's saying nothing of sliders.

Ah I see, interesting. Hopefully the devs have officially made a response to this that I’m just not aware about. I was actually discussing this with someone a few days ago, and they just assumed the lack of lower body customization was due to the Japanese not finding curves and thickness as important as we do here in the West.

I don’t care either way, but a lower body slider would definitely be nice and make characters a little bit more diverse than normal. Highlanders would have a field day, lol!

There was also the part they mentioned that adding butt sliders would require them to retexture every item of lower body clothing as increasing butt size with things as-is would mean a lot of pixelated graphics for anything covering that part of the body, in addition to it potentially clipping through some items of clothing. Basically, it's a lot of extra work to make things fit for very little return on that investment. Remember, we only got two half complete races for Shadowbringers because of clothing modeling issues, and a new race brings in a lot more revenue than a butt slider.
