Instead of new races, we should get alternative body shapes for the races.

They would need to remake every piece of gear to fit those types. Try umm bigger assets and they will come through nearly every piece of equipment

It was texture stretching they cited as being a concern if they decided to make the sliders more...generous.

XIV is a bit strange in that gear does not overlay clothing meshes/textures onto a base character model when changing it and rather changes out that part of the body entirely, which is why there can be a bit of disparity with body proportions between different pieces (Minfilia's top and the 2B bottoms being the most notorious examples).
