Can we please have more flexibility in height for our characters?

[Krotoan]

Normally I'm not prone to underestimating the workload required for changes. But FFXIV's characters don't have crazy complex skeletons or rigs. I can almost certainly guarantee that, unless we're looking at very big scaling changes (and we arent), this would be entirely fine.

I still don't think they would just adjust values and call it a day though. It'd have to run through some QC at least to make sure textures don't get warped weirdly or have gaps on at the very least the base models for different gear.

Again, not opposed to the idea, but it's probably more than a bit of work.

Well yeah. Obviously, it wouldn't be just "change a number, done." QA is required for every change, even the simplest. But honestly, I doubt this is the kind of change that would require a very extensive process.

But isn't the height scaling in XIV an actual 1:1 proportion ratio with everything?

So, scaling wouldn't really change how gear is displayed regardless. The only issue I could see would be extreme up scaling causing the texture pixels to be even more visible, but doubtful that would be an issue for a 10% increase.

Yeah there is no advanced deformation happening when you make your character shorter or taller.
