Viera is proof that...

...Nerfing our butts in the transition from 1.0 was completely unnecessary.

Seriously, I hate running around with a rear shaped like a flat piece of cardboard.

[KadaRemnant]

XD i agree. Butts matters! Give real butts to everyone!

It floors me that people get so obsessed with the backside of their character. It's a small percentage of the character model and a completely insignificant percentage of the overall game. Is that really what you play this game for?

If you want some MMO with crazy sliders, go play some crappy F2P one where the entire budget went into the character creator and the cash shop.

To be fair, we ARE mostly staring at our characters' backs all the time.

When people say this I always wonder how they play. Like, do you angle the camera up or something? Because all I see of my character is his head and shoulders, or crouched over his mount...

I imagine zoom in to their characters butt and stare at it all the time when playing.

You're right, you're 100% right. I get the impression you're trying to argue against me by mimicking what I said, but you're somehow not doing a very good job of it.

I usually have it zoomed all the way out in combat because I'm not bad and usually keep an eye on the entire area (no matter what role I'm playing), not my character's ass. And when not in combat, I'm usually looking at where I'm going. Again, not at my character's ass, because then I wouldn't see where to go.

Playing zoomed in all the way the entire time will undoubtedly get you in some amount of trouble, you may want to reconsider that.

Some of us would like our characters to look attractive to us rather than just something on the screen or a power fantasy or other some such avatar. You're misrepresenting people if you think we just have a giant butt on our screen all day. Sure when I fight and need to pay attention I have it zoomed out for a full view of the battle. But in a cutscene or RP-ing around it's nice to have every aspect of your character be something you enjoy. If I take a substantial amount of gil and time crafting and sourcing an outfit, sometimes it's a little disappointing when it looks a little unflattering in the back, especially when most of what I look at during the game is from behind.

Relax a little and understand that different people look for different aspects of character customization and overall aesthetics can include butts.

not really arguing against you (as I dont know what you're into), just pointing out that it's just like, your opinion, man. people care about radically different things in this game and pointing it out seems like a moot point.

It might not be what they play the game for. But for their characters it might be a nice touch. They do have to spend a large majority looking at the backside of their character so, its not completely lost to me why they would care about the butt at all.

But I want you to keep in mind, something that might have great importance to you, might not mean anything to someone else. We all care about different things on different levels.
