The pattern of SE being "regressive", and "censoring" the booty what else. It's like the number one diatribe.

Just read the title of this "bug report".

But the healers bottoms get a tear in inner thighs that stretches across the lower band when paired with every single long boots that I tried, so I decided to put them under water while glitched to see if interesting happens. The stockings disappear like expected. The tear remains in the band. No crazy leg holes open up or anything like that.

Striking leggings are not ok too. If you mix them with 2b boots the stocking disappear.

As I read it, they seem to be saying there is a pattern of SE doing things like adjusting the 2B model, possibly due to "higher-ups or the ethics department".

You misunderstood the person you were quoting. They are alluding to the same thing, "regression", censorship, etc. If you want proof, you already provided that part of the quote(s), and I provided the bug report link, here's more:

Okay, this tells me that someone or multiple developers are highly against curvy rears. And if it indeed is an ethics department issue, then simply modify current glamour to give a more realistic rear. I understand in Japan or Korea, the way women normally look is different than here. However, final Fantasy is supposed to appeal to many demographics in the west too. And in case you didn’t know, Square, not all of us are built that way. I do not have a rear that looks like that. Many women do not.

Bottoms are small to prevent the clipping previously complained about and leading to this adjustment, without needing tops to stick out even further than they already do.

Unique character designs like Echidna don't have that issue. They only need to wear the one outfit (or lack thereof) which will be modelled specifically for them, with no need for it to be compatible with anything else.

A big issue I have with XIV is that the gear pieces only look good with their intended set. Unlike a lot of other games, though I find role locks to be the primary issue. The Makai Priestess arm pieces are rockin' but can only be worn by healer.

But anyway. I liked how many options unlocked with the raid gear. The boots, the gowns, and of course, the panties. Yoko Taro said that base gear (because he didn't know how to glam) was ugly. This honestly felt like a gift for players to be able to mix and match.

But ope, panties caused a glitch. Gotta have a "fix" that breaks something else. Shoulda just fixed the sheer on skin and called it a night.
