Letter from the Producer, XIV (07/20/2011)

WOW >.<
OK Im a girl and even I was surprised at the LACK of uh.... breast..size on the swimsuits.
The human girl could almost pass as a nice looking tranny who hasnt gotten any breast implants yet.

The average bra size is 1-2 sizes smaller/bigger in japan vs U.S. (ex. U.S. B-cup is a JP D-cup) and any bra you ever look upon has a huge (i mean huge) pad inside to 'lift up' cleavage. (This is something i found out in college i was attending in japan)

Considering this game is internationally played, it would have been nice if they made 'body sizes' also a 'pleasantly average healthy' body >_<

I have brought your concerns to the JP thread that female players demand more boobies and demanding a reason for boobie shrinkage after wearing bikini's!

Well I for one enjoy the smaller breast variations of the Japanese women, and quite happy SE has reflected that in both XI and XIV. Granted though, they could be just slightly bigger, but at least they're not these or these or even these disgusting monstrosities...

Yeah, I suppose linking a nudie pic prolly wasn't a good idea, but anyway...fixed! {might wanna edit the quote now}

wow those breasts are pretty terrible :/
that background in the last pic is quite nice though.... kinda how i felt the black shroud should look like.

Since we bringing real world logic into this, I will bring some real world logic into this, too. Breasts are basically fat, and our characters are active, we go on for days and days (in game) without even resting, thus, the fat is being burned and so your breasts are small. This is why really athletic woman tend to have smaller breasts.

well i draw alot and use alot of athlete model pics for reference >.> if that real world logic where correct, it would also have to apply to the arms (upper arms especially), thighs, calves AND buttocks. They would look 'sinew-y' as well, but they are not. So it looks a bit off

I don't think I saw it in this thread, but this is Yoshi-P's XIV lettwr!!!

You naughty naughty lala-Wiz you!

Noomy no good anymore huh?

[Synfrag]

but there is no way even my father would let me wear a bikini like that "in real life"!

This just made me lol hard. I hope you're under say 15. And the "Even" is out of place, if any guy wouldn't let you wear a bikini it would be your dad. Kinda makes it sound like your dad is a perv with the "Even". You know, like, "Even my dad, who does naughty things to me wouldn't let me" just sayin.

Well some people value that type of decency. No need to wail on people for having different life perspectives.

Not like like I care what anyone wears, though.
