Muscle Tone Slider for Au Ra?

[Shyngo]

Can we please have a Muscle Tone Slider for Au Ra race as well? feels strange having a flat body on it compared to their artwork style.

I remember some ppl complaining when they were first showcased that they looked like horned Elezen, as much as i agree on that(physique-wise). I think that having a muscle tone slider for it would solve (part) of that issue.

here are some quick comparison Screenshots:

I'd like to see more character customisation options added across the board at some point. Some races are sorely in need of additional base faces, others require a muscle slider...Highlander men could use a real eyebrow option...and the list goes on. I'd certainly prefer that instead of additional hairstyle options.

This has already been requested heavily. Au ra are already more muscular than Elezen, concept art doesn't always translate in to in game models (look at elezen) but au ra actually did so fairly well.

Side note: everyone knows that highlanders have a ritual eyebrow removal upon entering manhood in remembrance of Ala Mhigo.
No eyebrows is manly, its important
Ala Mhigo!!!

Yeah.....i was wondering if this was alredy requested or not.....but just showing my interest over here as well ^_^.


And i dont see any issues why other races cant choose to remove eyebrows as Au Ras can too....will agree on that as well.

Females too. And while we're at it give me the larger and more mature looking auri females in the concept arts.

And give the males their dainty equivalent like the current females.

I think the reason they said they cant add this at the moment is engine restrictions. There is a limited number of variables that a character model can hold at the moment. I think just about every player would like more options to pick form regardless of race.

They say there are limitations to the graphic engine/server side and consoles (PS3). If you wanna blame something that's the dreaded PS3 and its archaic hardware. That poor thing can't even run properly the new zones and everything this game has it's been toned down to the ground for PS3 to be able to run without problems. They already said this in few interviews already. For example there is a limit on how many NPCs a zone can hold for the PS3 to be able to run. How large a zone can be and how many objects must be around. Same goes for skill effects, numbers, UI etc. This game is multi-platform and multi platform games must always meet the limitations of their weakest platform they support. In this case its PS3. This game is being developed on the max specifications PS3 can hold. Once they drop support for it (IF ever) then they will be free to add much more many things.

They never specifically said it was a PS3 issue so stop trying to stir up shit. And before you say I'm a PC user.

Actually they did indirectly. He can't really bash the PS3 as it still gives them money but the truth is it is holding the game back and they will drop the support for it sooner or later.
Here is one of his interviews where he describes the thing. https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comme...p_features_of/

Translated in English with the source available. I'm not making anything out of my mind as you can clearly see. There are some other mentions about this matter in other interviews too. Most of the times hints.

They will never admit the ps3 is holding the game back that will be bad business to come outta the blue and say "yeah guys sorry but the ps3 is preventing us from giving you guys more option heheheh ^^"
