I understand that. But there is kind of a deference between big and oversized.
And I think a good number of shoulder pads are on the oversized side of things.
I noticed this as well, trying to Fantasia to a Female Hrothgar last night.
All of my glamours just looked oversized and bad. I only have a screenshot of one though.

This is my SCH glamour that I love using. The sleeves are just super puffy. The whole arms from the shoulders down look oversized and the head then feels smaller.
I hope it gets corrected. It looks quite bad. Like, I'd have to go in and redo all of my glamours to not have sleeves or gloves that go past the wrist, based on how this looks.

Oh, so it's not just me.
My Hrothgal character doesn't have access to a lot of glam because she only just arrived in Heavensward, so I can't judge about most things. I noticed the Virtu Ravager's Cuirass is extra bulky but it doesn't look super bad because it still fits the wild unsymmetric look of the gear (and Warrior as a job) and my WHM and RPR gear was fine, but it was also shoulderless. However, when I used "Try On" on the new Mad Max style crafteable gear on the marketboard, they really felt kind of off. Due to the position of their arms in idle pose and how that gear is designed to look rather tight, she looked like all the versions with jackets would be way too tight. That level of tight where you still fit into a thing but can't really move around as intended because it's so tight you are afraid to rip anything, and it's just really uncomfortable. They look fine on my male Hrothgar though (although the gear for the guys is ofc always a bit different than the one from the ladies). The only one that looked a bit less like this was the aiming gear, but well, she doesn't have an aiming job. xD
I was really disappointed about that one because this rowdy like style would suit her personality and her wild coeurl face look incredibly well. And it makes me anxious for basically every other gear with arms.
Just popping in to give my support and this is my only gripe with femhroths. Almost anything with sleeves looks ridiculously disproportionate and the emotes where she raises her arms look kinda strange too, like the upper arm needs to be slightly skinnier or closer to the upper body because there is this weird angle. Maybe someone else can articulate what I'm trying to say better and I would post a screenshot if I wasn't on ps5.
For those saying it's fine, I have a piece of asymmetrical armor and you can *see* how borked the rigging is:

Here's imgur links for evergreen displays:
Good Arm vs. Bad Arm
For how long female hrothgal was supposedly in development they should not launch in this state interms of rigging for their clothes. They currently suffering the same issue of faces having locked hairstyles behind them just like when male Hrothgar launch in shadowbringer. Million dollar question they mange to fix that in Endwalker even through we had to wait for every main patch for them to get current hairstyle in game so why not applied to female hrothgal during their development. Unless their development started at very end instead of it being from the beginning which would explain why we did not really see them in actual gameplay to the lead up of Dawntrail.
Yeah, it's really disappointing because I think the sleeveless models do look great! It'd be nice if their armor matched that look and didn't make them look ballooned!
The response of "just go sleeveless" isn't helpful either![]()
