It just seems very odd if they really have put specific resources into making "fat cats" something widely accessible. It doesn't seem like something that would have enough draw to be worth the budget and the re-fitting of all the gear. It seems at odds with all the decisions they've made so far.

Until more detail comes up, I'm more inclined to read their statements as "we made something interesting specifically for these MSQ characters" and not "we're letting players freely change the body shape of their characters".
