Viera is proof that...

I remember back when a "big butt" was an insult.
How time changes.

So was "nerd"...

[Awha]

Lalalefell butt slider? Hmm not sure how I feel about getting a butt slider before a body hair slider.

I'm not sure why this concept is so hard for people to grasp. Glamour is the true endgame and playing as a character with attractive proportions puts emphasis and makes glamour look even better. The Viera Legging's are the best piece of glamour in existence.

Ooo okay I understand now. Still don't feel like it was "nerfed" in any way. Viera butts are just as flat, the thong just gives the illusion that it isn't. Also some of the replies on those threads are hilarious.

"he said he was not able to enjoy the game at all anymore because his character's butt was smaller. He called it a "game breaking flaw" and proceeded to rant for 50+ pages about not being able to look at his character anymore and "hiding her silhouette with robes."

I'm sorry but that's just creepy.

"Lmao, Damn that Garlean technology they zapped us with the transsexual gun now our woman are shaped like boys. I can't stand the sight of it, lol. This is not how I envisioned my character in 2.0. "

& that one..wow.

Doing something like changing how the pelvis tilts on miqo would do much to fix the no butt illusion honestly.

get used with japan, child death (in video game obviously), excessive blood, extreme violent? all quiet.

flat butt? no skimpy/sexy cloth? no panty shot? low quality thigh? flex hand, 5 paragraph complain forum, pitch fork ready and waiting.

in term of "offended" taste they are the exact opposite of murica

This game could be in its 20th year and people would still be talking about butts.

if they decide to add a butt slider in the next mmo, nobody will care anymore.

Unless.. y'know.. someone changes something. maybe by being notified of the problem and the amount of people who would like the change via a forum thread. That could happen.

If I'm not mistaken now, I just remembered reading in another butt thread a long time ago, that there had been an official comment about the butt.
And that was that they didn't have any plans on changing them because making the butts bigger would stretch out the textures of clothing/armor pieces, and that would just make it look bad.

I can't link any source of any kind, since this is a vague memory.
But maybe someone else knows what I am refering to that has better knowledge or sources.

I vaguely remember this being a counterpoint but not an official one. If this was such an issue then we wouldn't have chest sliders either though. if they are kept within reasonable levels the distortion is minor, as it is on certain chest armors.
