Am I the odd one out? Maybe. But at least the character designers seem to be on my wavelength.

They wouldn't become more muscular in theory, but would instead just have their natural muscle definition shown (which is already present on some items I might add.) Additionally there is a muscle slider, so its pretty clear to me the devs want to appease both preferences, but do a poor job appealing to the latter, hell to literally anyone that prefers anything but a super smooth washboard body-type they're basically out of luck.


Even more lithe/young/lanky characters would have muscle definition due to having little to no body fat and being (presumably) physically active. The current state of things is just unnatural and looks uncanny imo.



I know what's popular and I am aware of the logic in appealing to what's popular, but I think for a game that tries to ground itself in realism or at the very least define itself as not being "just another anime game" there are areas of design that need to be addressed.




I mean if girls have the option to look super feminine or tomboyish while being able to look attractive as both, I don't see why guys have to choose between feminine or featureless. It wouldn't even be breaching into fanservice territory moreso just a proper representation of a masculine body.
