    How would someone who does what the WoL does have any body fat at all?
    People like to roleplay, and not every player has their character at peak physical performance.

    Also you can gain weight no matter how much you exercise. Sumo wrestlers are wicked strong.

    Sumo wrestlers have a specific diet that allows them to gain body weigh the way they do. If they didn't eat the specific foods that they do they wouldn't gain the weight that they do.

    Yes you can gain weight regardless of how much you exercise but it's not more "realistic" than the body types we have now.

    Strange a couple of posts had been deleted? All I did was point out that the game was made in Japan where the average weight is fairly low. Maybe it was because I quoted someone.

    I'd just like a bulge for my male toons, a slider would be a luxury.

    But I am in favour of more sliders for each race, as long as it's kept within the parameters suited to each race. I'd like the option of beefier midlanders, like the derplander, for example.

    Well, if games like Overwatch and Soul Calibur 6 can at least show masculinity in all its glory then there's no reason why FFXIV can't take steps towards doing the same.

    The bodies of the Hyur and Hyur-with-tails races are realistic. Plenty of people out there with fit, healthy bodies. That said, more character customization in general would be nice, including a body weight slider.
