In what realm is the pre-nerf booty prosthetic and droopy lol? I'm now convinced some of the people in this thread haven't ever seen what a butt really looks like that's had work done.

the word prosthetic refers to an artificial body part that is used to compensate for a part that is missing or not functioning. These pants are essentially that. Most other pants give you a shape close to your character’s “natural” butt.

And yes, it is droopy, and even flatter than usual

As someone who weights 120 pounds and is slender i take offense lol.
Most women, even very skinny ones, have way more of a butt than that. Unless you were refering to 90 year old slender women, for most people a butt that flat is more unnatural than the original 2b butt, that or you sit too much and dont exercise.

Perhaps you should learn what the word typical means. It doesn’t mean “the only way things are”

Obviously they should change it back to work as originally intended, but "fake butts" don't address the problem.

The popularity of this glamour item shows how much people loved the "prosthetic", "droopy" butt.

People are mourning this change that breaks most glamour combinations to fix a tiny few, and they're right to want this reverted.

There are plenty of other bottoms for people who want to glamour the wedding dresses.

They seem to be fine with YorHa blindfolds sticking stupidly out of the back of lala's heads with literally every hairstyle but destroy the most popular glamour effect I've ever seen in FF?

Has anyone filed a bug report about the headbands on Lalafells? That's how you get them to look at fixing things. This thread is the first mention I've seen of there being a issue.

Are the middle and right images meant to be the same? I can't see a difference, and I assume they're both the non-flattened version since there's no other gear equipped.

I did, twice, with separate screenshot galleries for head bandage (stormblood) and YorHa type 51 (5.1)
They were both "accepted" (months before 5.0 for the head bandage).

Instead of fixes for that, we get "breaks" for 98% of "2-booty" glamour combinations.

This kind of thing ticks me off enough to be outraged even as a lala with no personal dog in the fight.

I'm a mentor on my server and my community is in tears over this.

It's probably been said a bunch of times before, but I'd honestly rather have clipping with the butt on a few items rather than having it flattened on most of the clothing I use the bottom with.

Makes the 2b gear feel much less valuable. Square pls.

Bingo.
There is no point to the YorHa bottoms over others with the most recent change.

Middle and right are the same picture. The middle is to show it unobstructed and the right is to show the "flatness" line. It bothers me when people put up a picture with lines all over it and you can't completely see the original. These were taken before the current patch, shortly after 5.1. If people really like it, that's their choice.

I understand that and they should make it do what it's supposed to. It's funny how much people love it when it's obviously mocking those that want actual changes to the character models( butt slider, butt options). It seem people just want a butt hanging out and not a more wide reaching solution. If you really like that butt, you only get it in those pants. If you like those pants, you only them with that butt.

The game would need to be fundamentally overhauled to allow proportional sliders, including back-porting of some ~50,000 equipment assets.

Simply reverting this "fix" is a much more pragmatic solution, at least until they can "reborn" the realm again under unreal engine or something.

It depends on what was intended with the fix. What was no doubt intended was the skin tone fix, for bottoms and top. If flat butt isn't a bug, rather if it was intended, then there is nothing to revert. If they see the backlash, like here, perhaps they would revert that?
