Proportionate Bodies

[Ralts]

I implied that it's to make their job easier.
Laziness doesn't really just mean they do not want to work, it could also mean they want less effort done. Clear enough?

You're ignorant. I already stated that their work is complex enough, why make everything more difficult?

What? They're making things simpler to make things less difficult for them.
You're the ignorant one here since I don't see where you got that "why make everything more difficult?" part from me.

If you meant my opinions on the body models then they were merely opinions, not requests for the devs to retouch them.

Guess I'll just go ahead and be the #2 pervert in the post *shrug*

..I like curvy women. No..no that'd be lying. I L U V curvy women. 1st time on the character creation screen, I took 1 look at lala's and miqo's and loled my arse off (ya..inc flames)..moved onto Hyurs and Elezeen and "Eeh...wellll.." and finally stopped at Roe, whose boobie sliders finally made me smile. Then it struck me, for every race...0 hips..0 thighs..0 tummy. Every last one (except lalas) is molded into a 'play-it-safe'/ one size fits all cast.

Boring.

If I'm gonna play a game 10+ hours a day, 5-6 days a week and stare at the same character each time, lets be honest, I want something visually pleasing to me. If the typical 'FF'er is okay with the athletic, slim, petite form, good for you. Me? At least give me the OPTION..to have curves that could accidently bump someone off the side of a cliff and not even know it. SOMETHING. And no, the "Its for the armor' arguement is lolable. Go watch a Soul Calibur 5 creation tutorial and just make a poor man's version.

Someone here already touched on it, but perhaps it all has to do with the reactions of the innitial crowd, which, ya, happens to be Japanese (Come on..do you really think its a coincidence we've got 2-3 races already which fit the adolescent schoolgirl theme?) Once again...not knocking it if thats your thing, but for those of us who'd love a little more cushion-for-the-pu-..uh..adventuring, at least give the option. Considering the level of realism theyve put into so many other aspects in the game, is this that hard? I mean, hell...step outside Ul'dah and just take a look at some of the wildlife and see how detailed it is. Really examine a beast close up and be amazed at its modeling.

....and ya, just to be fair, give the males a few more slider options too.

Yea what the hell happened lol.

A calamity of massive proportions!

Actually I was gonna be that guy when posting. But anyway models look fine the way they are. Well at least us I think the lala are still mad about the chest slider not working. But its been 3years and Dev team still hasn't fix that... /sips coffee

There's a joke to be made here about the sliders working properly, but you need to actually be a lala to notice... :3

Japan is afraid of sexual body parts so they just made everyone stick figures.

I thought it was the opposite...
Japan being more comfortable with sensuality compared to the west...
