We still care deeply about the Shape of our characters..[Dev Request]

[NanaWiloh]

Sad too say but adding a slider to adjust character rear sizes is unlikely to happen during Heavensward. Its not a high priority for the Dev's, if they were to added such a slider it would most likely come with the next expansion. This thread also makes me wonder how many players are just spending time looking at that their characters butts rather then playing the game.

[TheGrimace]

Screw it. I didn't care about the issue at all, but if people are that interested that we have an OP with 50 likes at this point, I'll throw my hat into the mix too...

...Provided we also get a slider to make junk look bigger. I'm all for equality, you see.

Aside from the butts, it appears as if females back in 1.0 had a more hour glass figure compared to now. Ironically, Au Ra males now have that figure, if not more pronounced.

[Fourbestintoner]

The stance play a huge part of it, I hate 2.0 stance so much.

It helped that lighting, overall, was way better in 1.0 than 2.0 as well. That's another concession we had to make to be able to get it to run on more PCs. Still, hopefully we'll see improvements to lighting one day, maybe in 4.0? I can dream.

Yup, light (and graphics) were pretty good back then.

You can even see a slight bulge wearing a subligar. Now men are simply ken dolls

WHY CAN'T WE HAVE THIS?! I WANT DETAILED BODY LIKE THAT ON MY HIGHLANDER

Shooot, time to stop debating whether or not miqo'te lost their ass. Time to fight for the bulge.

This is more of a topic asking for the lower body to be restored rather than just a "butt thread".
Sure the butt is part of it but there are a lot of weird things that happened when they reduced the lower body of characters from 1.0->2.0

For example when you wear any form of tights in 2.0 the area on the right leg has a broken Mesh, its harder to see the mesh on smaller races but if you use Female Highlander or Roegadyn its much easier to see.
There are also a lot of lower body clipping on Lalafell and Roegadyn Races when you wear skirts or dresses, in most cases your hips start to show outside the outfit when you move/dance etc, I've made bug reports on all these back in 2014 they went into accepted bugs and just kind of died there.

Area In Question

Off Topic:
I notice a few people talking about hairstyles and clothes so i'll talk a little bit about that as well. I made a few threads in the past about Character Customization, it seems in every patch they release Hairstyles... because I assume... hairstyles are big and flashy. However, there are major problems with the character creator and with how fairly distributed the customization parts are for each race.

For example, female elezen has two faces that are identical to each other. It's the same face just with lipstick and different eyelashes/skin-tone shadings.
This is not fair to this race, especially when you have races like Hyur with 5(female)->6(male) different face options to choose from.

Same Nose, Same Jaw, Same Eyes, Same Mouth
Just Change the skin texture, add lipstick and some long eyelashes...

A lot of races need a lot more eye shapes/noses or even new face shapes. I doubt there are any PS3 Limitations because they always release new hairstyles in every major patch. Hairstyles use up resources more than.. a nose or eyeshape? (who knows)

You guys can moan and sigh "oh not another butt thread" but the problem persists that FFXIV's Character customization/Character Models are unnatural and Cheaply made.
They can give us 1000 more outfits or 100 more hairstyles but In my opinion this is just throwing a band-aid over a large wound.

This is just my opinion but I would much rather they give Quality rather than Quanity

[Alahra]

I'd love to have the old models back. It's really bothers me that my tail clips through a piece of gear specifically designed for my race simply because they flattened the back half of the waist/hips, changing the angle at which the tail descends (which is the result of spine modifications I think, but I'm not sure exactly how the frame works). In a game from a developer that generally prides itself on aesthetics (and a game that I play in part because of that pride for aesthetics), it feels really out of place.

And yes, the weird hip/thigh clipping mentioned above happens on numerous races. For miqo'te, it's most noticeable when doing the basic /sit animation.

At the very least, some sort of slider that would allow us to choose between the current waists and the old ones would be greatly appreciated.
