Male Viera as a playable character! show your support

I would be okay with that, though I still wish to promote the desire for big chungus. I mean people called out the devs before for being sexist, at this point I think they are fat shaming. They should add a body fat slider for every race, if they do not wish to add new races.

I actually remember Yoshida being asked about weight slider, especially after Shadowbringers trailer was released with its fat Miqo'te. He wasn't that much opposed to the idea, but there's another problem than being opposed of having plump characters, and it's the way how armor works now. Currently, each clothes item replaces the appropriate part of body. To adress weight slider they would need to rework it maybe not from the scratch, but it still will be a significant amount of work. It's not impossible though - as far as I remember, clothes do recognize bust size for female characters. Though, in case with weight, adjusting the print of texture can be trickier.

I don't think we'll be getting weight sliders or any kind of option that significantly changes the shape of a race's body. At least, it's not very likely. Yoshi P seems to think it'd be better to make a new race rather than make body altering sliders.

"...if it is a customization option that significantly changes the shape of the races body, I think we would be better off to tackle the challenge of just introducing a new playable race all together instead."

Yeah, and considering the way our armor system works, I can understand his sentiments on the matter.

True I can see that, but I do think Yoishi P has an odd take, putting in the work to add more customization options would be an net positive for every player. Sure it might not be as marketable for an expansion as a new playable race.

Though if they were to go the new playable race options this game could use another lala arch type playable character, having them be plus size would just be icing on the cake.

If that cannot happen then I personally rather have glam options to alter existing player models in more dynamic ways. Sure I would not be able to wear other items, but it is something.
