Proportionate Bodies

[AlessaGillespie]

If you want to fap to your game, go play Blade and Soul. This game's character appearances are fine.

Its not about perversion and if people want to fap they find porn. -Rep

It comes with the implication that they could do it of they just wanted to and nothing but there own motivation is stopping them...when that's not necessarily the case (as mentioned before, it could be a case of priorities...changing that element to require less work so that they can put that effort into something else, which isn't lazy).

In the end, the point i'm making in the first few sentences of that post was that it's mainly for convenience. I don't see the reason why one word was taken into such consideration but sure, I'm wrong to call it lazy.

It's not that they want something completely new, they just want back the body features and proportions they had during 1.0.

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?

I've noticed with some of the shirt tops (like the different crafting tops--example: Patrician's Coatee--or my favorite shirt in the game that has been my BRD glam for almost a year: Coat of the Lost Theif) seem to have sufficient space for if the characters actually had a defined butt, for them to fit. I base a lot of my glamours off of clothing that at least makes it appear like my character has more curves than just up top. XD

I don't really think it would be hard to incorporate. I agree there will be work involved adjusting the bottoms to fit different butt sizes, but since so many of the basic gear sets are just reskins/recolors, I would think it wouldn't be too bad to just copy over data for the gear sets that have been reused. Obviously sets that have zero variants (artifact gear, tome/Coil/Alex gear, and the like) would take more work. More so, it would probably just be the gear that are pants needing work. Skirts seem to already have the extra space to allow different-sized behinds.

I just don't think it looks too...natural...to not have a butt. I know people in the real world exist that have no curves or whatever, but it just looks odd seeing ALL female characters with max chest size and then.....straight drop down to the feet. XD

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.

[TaranTatsuuchi]

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...

[Igneous]

Lemme just make another point here real quick, it might seem pervy but its a very good point. Why make all these swimsuits and other more revealing outfits if there isn't anything to reveal lol.

Yeah. He kind of has a point guys lol . kind of lame when everyone looks like they haven't hit puberty yet

But the slider is working :0
It is actually very obvious when not wearing any heavy gear (between 0 and 100 it goes from no chest to flat but definitely existing boobies).
Even underneath light armor you can see the difference o.o
No idea what people are complaining about.
