    Shiva E3 Preview, please fix before live!

    Saw the Shiva preview and have to say, underwhelmed.
    XIV team has done a marvelous job with all the primals thus far, every single one being over the top in matching what we expect.
    Point blank: Shiva needs biggers breasts.
    I'm not interested in the sexual aspect, it's just all previous Shivas have overly suggestive, if not the most seductive of all the primals (Eden, Siren, etc).

    If you were to show this image to me with no context, I'd ask if we were getting a White Witch from Narnia. Sword? Shield? A haircut that looks more like horns than ice?
    Historical imagery: http://goo.gl/RglIQf
    Shiva's model should suggest "Look all you want but you know you can't touch."
    Free floating ice shards would make more sense than a sword.
    Lose the shield and make ice form mid air when attacks try to strike her.

    Based on the linked images I would have to agree. I think my favorite version of Shiva is from FFX.

    Her chest is properly sized, actually. There is two things that is probably making it seem smaller to you, however.

    The black mesh, and the physics. The physics being game engine physics. But yeah, I'm looking at all the historical images, and putting aside fandom art for just the true images by Square... it's exactly the same size it's always been.
    The black mesh is hiding a good deal of the shadowing that would shape the chest a bit more to the eye, and the physics engine is causing the chest to move in a more realistic motion, which means it also 'hangs' a bit lower than we're used to seeing.

    Perhaps just changing/removing the black mesh would result in a more traditional look we're used to. *nod nod*

    I really liked the ff12 rev wings version.
    Also shivan and shivar were interesting lol! One being a lover and the child of shiva. Possible EX mechanic? I wishhhhhh
    But i was kinda sad when they made shiva turn into a PLD with the whole ice sword and shield thing >_>"
    Thought she was more of a ranged/ dancer ( using legs and hands to do spins, twirls, cartwheels to attack )

    Shiva in actuality is a male, a Hindu God representing destruction. {x}

    Not sure how "bigger tits plz" is really something that should bring in concern to the FFXIV ARR production team, besides a lot of people side-eyeing your request.

    lolwut. Please, she's fine and it's actually cool to see this new interpretation. The sword and shield look very cool, and I really like her hair. One Garuda is enough...

    Hahaha, oh wow.

    Shiva does not need bigger breasts, you simply want her to have larger assets to suit your own aesthetic preferences.
    You claim your reasoning is not based in sexual preference, but what of the people that prefer a smaller chest anyway?

    She is supposed to be an omnipotent elemental deity, not your personal eye-candy.
    If you want tits go run Garuda.
