It does.

The plank board people.

N'ah, it's more because characters had butts in 1.0 (pretty sure they slimmed down hips and thighs, too, but that could just be in my head). It makes the character model look more realistic/higher quality because it's anatomically correct (or correct enough because there are booties of all sorts). The main issue I have with our current butts is that they're unrealistically flat, they make the models look too flat as a result. They really don't need to make bottoms round and plump, but they really should... make butts be butts instead of planks of wood.

Here's a visual showcasing of butt differences. No still frames, so one can see what difference it makes.

I'm a woman, and have never played a game with a butt slider, and even I think the butts in this game look terrible, and need a lot of love. Even when I was underweight at 5'4" and 43kgs, I never had a butt as flat as these characters. It just doesn't look right! Especially since our characters are so active, they at least need a bit more muscle in there!
I play Au Ra, who have quite wide hips compared to their waist, and it just looks weird when they have a flat butt. Usually wider hips = slightly bigger butts, but that's not the case in this game for w/e reason

The wedding dresses partially eat Miqo’te and Au Ra tails in many of the poses, so the clipping is already there. If they weren’t going to fix the tail (i.e., perhaps make it float away from the body a bit more in the dress; or just offer an option to hide it completely, since it already slices straight through the fabric with no visible tail hole present), why fix the backside.

They also have more important things to address aside from “fixing” GNB sounds and “fixing” combat voices. I’m curious just what kind of priority list for issues they go on at this point.

Different teams work on different issues. It's not like there's 1 guy doing everything. As for the combat voices, my character has been fine, the new voices fit with the old ones. And gunbreaker sounds fine to me.

AND since there was a bug report submitted, this is clearly a fix for that, and not "taking everyone's butts away just to spite you"

Maybe, just maybe, the actual results of the fix were unintended, and it was meant to fix a big, as that report clearly was, and probably wasnt limited to that outfit either.


But no, this was all an intent to slap users in the face, malign them, make them feel unwanted, etc.

Honestly, the amount of vitriol in this thread over this is utterly ridiculous. I've seen less hate over actual issues with the game.
