Proportionate Bodies

[Bladesinger]

Gonna break my own rule for this post, but only this once, but there is no over sexualization in this game, Not even sure what would ever possibly make you think that, unless you just use it randomly whenever someone shows an ankle or is not covered from head to toe, Stop over abusing that term, Women and men can show skin without it being called "over sexual"

Sure there is - it's coming from the player base and giving them creative freedom to CHOOSE to run around like this - Not one person here is even taking into consideration people who might be forced to abstain from sexual activity because of life experiences like being RAPED - Molested - and any other form of issue they're having to deal with in their lives - Nope, you want this issue because the butts are to small or the package isn't defined enough and because of this issue, you seem to have this right to tell them to grow up and get over it.


Nothing more then thinly veiled activism just like every post up here suggesting these features...

yes lol not something so extreme.

Some people consider that extreme and offensive. Like I said, the day they decide to implement the "hide player character model" is the day that I'll shut up..

The logistics of which are, frankly, impossible. I hope you can imagine the technical and ethical nightmares of hiding player models when, for all you know, you may find yourself in a DF or PF group with someone that you've hidden, or has hidden you. That'd be a trainwreck and a half if you are a healer. And what if they're on a different server? We can't even blacklist people on other servers--what you're asking for goes above and beyond that. So, how about instead of clamoring for an insular community where no one gets offended by anything (an impossible dream, as it is), you simply learn to accept that people have varying tastes that will clash with yours, and accept that that's fine. It's a lot less work for everyone involved, that's for sure.

I kind of find it a bit silly to suggest that an hour glass figure (Since that is proportional, as per what OP asked for I believe) is "steep" or something..I mean, that is how I am IRL..what is wrong with wanting to look proportionate in game?

I didn't know we all had to be pencils and hank hill butts or else it goes into Namco territory hahaha we had this in 1.0 and it was just fine. I agree though, if you mean Dead or Alive, yeah no thanks. But our 1.x stuff? That was fine :P

Inferiority complex!?...

Dead or Alive 5 models are good enough for me, thanks!...

It has been done before and could most certainly happen here..

FFXI has this sytem, albeit more for technical reasons than creative one (I think). Everyone gets their chosen face but all their gear is set to the racial defaults. If they were to create such a system for FFXIV they could just set all sliders and whatnot to racial defaults as well. Not that I'm in favor of such a system or anything, but there's no technical reason you couldn't do it. I'll leave the ethical implications to the philosophers.

The same goes for you - the point of all this is tell everyone, issues like this are offensive to other people and those very people have a right JUST like you to enjoy the game as is and not continue to suggest features certain people are going to find offensive... People have no right to force mind sets on people who consider these issues offensive and detracting to their game experiences and should consider them BEFORE topics like this arise =\

Being offended or offending people isn't a problem to be solved. If it were, life would be fair and as we all know, life isn't fair.

I'd like the Dead or Alive 40lb boobs(each) to stay out of FFXIV please.


Lol we don't even need "better" bodies. Just more defined butts lol. That's what everyone was complaining/asking about for all this time. That's all we need


Roe fem bust is already pretty dang big on max. Any bigger and it wouldn't make sense anymore.

The girls butts are way, way too little and the poor men don't even have any equipment at all.
So to me, everyone looks like horizontal poles. They just don't seem to be what they could if the proportions were right.

As a person with a petite body, I appreciate that there is a videogame that actually represents my body type. But, I think the petite bodies should be reserved to certain races. For example, in FFXI, mithra (miqo'te equivalent) were very petite with extremely athletic bodies. They didn't really have a big behind or chest, but other races did. So it would be nice if they did something like that.

But while we're on the topic of proportions... I'm a cosplayer and I enjoy making these costumes. The women have really long legs in this game, yet no one complains about that. Every costume I make, I have to make adjustments for my short legs. But, I'm pretty sure even people with average-sized legs would run into this problem. So why no complaints about the long legs? Because they are 'appealing'?

It's not about wanting proportionate bodies. You just want bodies that fit your ideal. And, that's fine. But let's please call it what it is.

yes lol not something so extreme. Also these look nice!

yea! I really hope in 4.0 they bring back something like that..I miss my bum lol

Hehe I am not sure what you are trying to say XD But I do love DoA I just don't want FF to turn into that lmao

Keep my DoA in Doa! ^_^

I understand your PoV...but proportionate bodies are classified as "your hips and bust are the same size" aka hour glass. So if OP is asking for bust/bum to match..that is just simply hour glass, which does not exist in XIV...since they took away our butts haha
