. . . . I have so many gaming news places to contact! "FFXIV players weight shame" :3 I jest!

I'd never play a jiggly heavy character (because I want look stronk) but what I was hoping with the plump kittens was a new morph they developed. So to me it's not "yay I get to play overweight" but "oh my, did they just add the ability to add new sliders to their game?". Like in Skyrim you can fiddle with your character's details, and this can morph your armor a bit - I'm excited at the idea of fat cats because it might mean they've found a way to make our models have more wiggle room (jiggle room? eh eh? ). Like muscle slider that is actually 3d (vs texture).

Of course as people point it, could simply be just a preset body shape with preset armor created for it (which means no new morphing tech for our character editors).
