How likely is it we are getting Butt Sliders after this 2B Butt thing?

No, this isn’t a troll thread, lol. I’m genuinely curious though, because I’ve seen people in a few discord servers talking about it, and thinking it might get added because Yoshida will see how well received the 2B Butt item is. Which will make him more motivated to work on one.

We all know they touched on butt sliders in the past at a previous live letter. Source: https://www.ricedigital.co.uk/ffxiv-...producer-live/

He says:


Q: Are there more choices for character creation planned? Bum slider etc.

A: Not currently. In addition to this being a burden to the graphics team, we also want to reduce the stress on the server. You guys really want the butt slider? Because your gear will get bigger and the textures will stretch out. It’s a bit too difficult to get right, but it seems like, for some reason, this is something that people want…

There was also another source that said he would talk to the graphics team about it.

I just want to know how likely you think it is to happen now. I’m going to go out in a limb and say 6.0? It’s a good thing because, it means they are more likely to work further on character customization. Such as new faces. (Hoping for that a lot)

Zero.

It's more likely that we'll get clothing that will alter the shape of the bodies much like 2b's panties do. Otherwise it would be a COMPLETE overhaul of both character creation AND the gear itself because trying to stretch polygons can cause weird graphical glitches that would have to be worked out by hand for each piece of gear for every race allowed to have the slider.

I agree. This is much more likely to happen.

+1 to additional butt enhancing equipment being added. Butt sliders would be far more difficult for SE as a whole. If they can isolate it to a single item for all body types, that simplifies things for them exponentially.

I wish the 2b thing gave guys an actual butt instead of a hank hill butt.
*Sigh*

Very unlikely. It'd either be a full mesh change, aka just a bigger bootie, or nothing at all. They've stated in the past changing anything in the chara gen was like pulling teeth so we're unlikely to see a whole new slider be added without some kind of overhaul.

[Nedkel]

There are no chances for it.

Short of a complete revamp of the character creator (and lol at SE putting the budget and resources into that), zero.

I'd expect more customization options like tattoos and facial options eventually, but anything that alters the shape of a character is likely a pipedream in my opinion. The best we can hope for is what they did with the 2b outfit: gear with custom meshes.
