Bulge size options for character creation.

I'm not gonna respond to the rest anymore, because that's pointless. But I can respond to this. And the response is...I won't. For certain reasons I use that punctuation marker whenever writing a question because it does actually signify the tone in which I do ask questions in real life. Though, I do suppose, that at times my use of it may be correct in my language but not necessarily in English. Unfortunately these differences are hard to avoid.

In English, it comes off as overly emotional—overly confrontational or angry or upset; etc.. That’s why I always tell you to calm down. So now, you know.

My language have several other uses on top of those, including rhetoric, sarcastic, surprised etc. So you need not give it much attention, it usually in no way shows me needing to calm down.

This is a picture of a character with muscle tone but yet does not have any butt to match, thus being unrealistic.

People with leg muscles and muscle tone also have butts. She does not have a realistic hip-to-butt ratio, and hardly any muscle in her glutes, despite having other prominent leg muscles.
This also applies to highlander females as well, and all female characters really, when you consider how active they are, and how wide their hips are.

It is indeed that bad.

Actually, this is one of the reasons i don't like playing male characters (im hetero male irl). They don't have a bulge or butt, it weirds me out that they don't have boy parts. It's the same for ladies i imagine when they create a lady character and they are totally flat on the front and back. I really want bulge and butt sliders to increase them, but japanese devs have this weird fixation of having all of that super flat and neutered.

Also of concern to me: tails and ears should tuck under the armor, a lot of animations are super lame (to put it mildly).

I get that the Japanese have these ideas of what constitutes as indecent, though you would think a country that has an annual festival where people can actually buy very accurately made penis shaped suckers wouldn't be so worked up about a bulge or rounder butts. Its a real thing, held annually during spring in Kawasaki Japan and its called Kanamara Matsui, really look it up. That being said, this game is marketed around the world and we are not so weird about those things in the US and we all know the Europeans and Brazilians are even more open. These servers are broken up into regions in the first place and i don't see why we cant have access to regional preferences. I don't use mods, mainly cause i'm too worried about getting in trouble and loosing my account, but i have looked around at them. There are a lot of very talented programmers who have made amazing mods improving the look and texture of the skin, adding details like nipples and much better defined foot structure and amazing work on body hair and silhouettes, and yes, default bulges. People have done the work for them. All SE would have to do is pay a decent price for the programs and implement them in the game itself. I'm sure these same programmers would be thrilled at having their name added to the list of programmers to not only get more exposure but to pad their own resumes. IT isn't very hard to do. And as far as the items are concerned They don't have to redo all the old stuff just from now on include the adjustments to new items and create new level 1 glamour items to be used in the game featuring the new aesthetics. The only reason this is being made so difficult is SE's unwillingness to listen to the players who have been asking this for years. I mean we arnt asking for anything crude and dirty. IT's just simple aesthetics realism that will make the game look and feel better.

Folks, if you play on PC there are "ways" to give the men and women better booty and for guys to have a bulge and give better muscle definition to the slender guys, just look it up on google

I know it'd be better to actually have these options but gotta do what you gotta do.

I was checking out the grand company ring for an achievement and noticed the same thing on my character. Sitting would be painful. No muscle structure there at all. The gluts are the largest muscle on most mammals and even on male characters it doesn't exist; thigh just goes right into back.

And run the risk of those mods putting a virus on our computer, messing up the game causing lag, glitches and who knows what else, and not to mention getting in trouble with SE and permanently band loosing all those hours played, levels and gil earned and all items acquired? Yeah no I'll pass.

You don't know how that actually works, do you? Also it's client-side only, meaning that only you would be seeing the changes and you'd have to basically grab a GM's ear and scream at them about what you're doing... and even then they probably have bigger fish to fry.

I don't think it has anything to do with prudishness or bias on part of the devs. #1 reason is probably the one they've stated- not having to account for a range of butt and bulge contours when making gear probably does cut down on a significant amount of work they'd have to do. Unfortunately it leaves the players wanting too.
