OKAY. I get it now.

Instead of butt sliders, why not just update all the characters to give them a plumpier butt?

No thanks. Beauty standards are NOT the same around the world.

you ever see 2b bottoms clip through a dress/tunic when you sprint or sit down?

Lol
You ever see an NPC's hair clip through their own face and/or back during a cutscene?

Clipping is a feature of Eorzea.

I do prefer to have thicker glute for a male character. At this stage, they are worse than pancake.

Bigger boobs and butts are nice, I wouldn't mind. Definitely up my alley.

[Knot_D]

More male plumpy butts are great!

I’m not asking SE to give us Nicki Minaj’s butt. You can’t take off your pants and think a behind that flat is normal.. like it doesn’t even have a shape

Male butts are depressing, I'm all in favor for a slider, which would satisfy people across the board. But like you guys have mentioned, easier said than done unfortunately.
And the engine update (whenever that is gonna happen) will probably not arrive in the next three years, at least not to the scope I think some people imagine it to be.

At the very least, they could follow up on what yoshida said and start designing future gear to have rounder figures. Yoshida did say they could look at it

I honestly think they could do with an update of gear design standards. While altering existing gear would be very costly, making changes to standards so future gear is improved is part and parcel of improving productivity and quality.

They should at the very least when designing future gear
-design capes on armour so they don't clip the tailed races. this goes to the concept artists.
-Adjust base helmets to have gaps for auri horns, like they are now starting to do for viera ears in EW
-for the modellers, keep the floating armour pieces to a minimum. Alexander gear and lots of pauldrons on armour are especially bad here. The floating armour causes clipping and in the alex drg chest. eyes to get poked out
-the 3d modellers need to learn to merge vertices. doing so will free up data and smoothen the physics to prevent clipping
-tattoos need to take into account au ra scales

finally, they can design leg armour to have a better toned shape or thicc booty like yoshida mentioned. Once they got their bases down, it will be easier to develop more.

Indeed... got my fingers crossed that they re-use the frame for future Moonfire Faire stuff, but with a more flattering cut for the straps. And make something for guys to while they're at it. 2B butts for everybody.

This is what I’m hoping for, if they can’t add body options then they can change the body shape through gear like with the 2B leggings.

imagine the smell
