    Suzuki's post explains why body shapes were homogenized across all races. It allows them to create armor designs much more quickly when they only have to create one humanoid shape and one lalafell shape for each gender, and don't have to spend time working on body shape differences for every race for every new piece of armor aside from small proportional tweaks. Additionally, when a new race is released, they will have to go back and retrofit all the armor for the race's unique body shape, which will obviously take less time if the differences between body shapes are kept to a minimum. Consider also that to go back *now* and change body proportions or add sliders, they'd have to adjust every piece of armor already in the game. This is a ton of time and effort working on existing art assets (huehuehue) that could be better spent making new stuff. Ninety-nine percent of the time, your character's ass is covered by, well, armor, so I don't know why the hell people care so much about this to begin with unless you're one of those people that glamour all of their endgame stuff into coliseum gear.

    Personally I'd rather have a larger variety of armor designs than larger asses on catgirls, but I guess that's just me.
    As a Roegadyn player which has a much wider body than Miqo'te and the other races, I feel when armor is created
    they still have to accommodate for this, which causes clipping issues when done incorrectly since they are sizing all gear for a much larger body size.
    Because Roegadyn isn't as cared for as Miqo'te I feel clipping issues like the Spring Dress will appear much more.
    (It could be a separate issue but it would put me more at ease)

    I also feel the way the lower body model of characters look now is very unnatural, not just for Miqo'te but for all races. I feel the look of our character's and Appeal should have been not touched.
