physical appearance

[Kallera]

In what regard is it a PS3 limitation? Jiggle physics? Well, my avatar's boobs bounce just the same on PS4 as they did on PS3, so... who knows? I'd have to take a look at the programming complexity and see if the PS3 can handle... whatever difference it is you suggest it can't.

:sigh: I'd rather not say "Japanese game developer" limitations, because they can likely do it, the thing is ROI...

Since we have seen SE's existing difficulties on expanding the character creator, a fat slider is as far away as a butt slider or similar expansions to the existing races. This is also the protagonist of a game franchise well known for its pretty, attracive,stylized protagonists(read:not fat), and how many people are willing to take the plunge and edit their character to what is considered a less attractive appearance?

Im sure there are other considerations as well. Such as armor textures, emotes, and yes, jiggle physics. That's why it is far easier to introduce a fat or aging npc than it is a pc. But I'm willing to wager, both in technical design and setting, that yes, fat people can exist in eorzea. They just need to find the right side character that fits with their ideas on what a fat person does.(and therein lies the tragedy)

So why did i ask to say ps3 limitations?...because its just an easier way of saying real life dev considerations are why Eorzea lacks a feature.
