I can’t ignore this anymore! Something should be done about it!

Each race and gender could use just a tad more bum. Female Miqo'te aren't the only ones lacking.

Also, Lalafel could do with slightly slimmer waists. Just so they don't look so much like isosceles triangles.

It's SOoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Bad!

Do anything I don't care what SE do about it but something is better than nothing.
For real don't leave it, fix it.

I don't care how many hairs they add how much face paint or markings they gives us, cloths, armor none of that is going to fix this insanely bad looking amputation.

Dammit SE, I want to look cool again!

Don't we all? =(

^ Is this a PS3 picture?

I can't quite put my finger on it, but something looks wrong... oh wait.

Also, did they drop your tail down for the armor or something?! Oo

Could it be the butt?

That looks pretty off to me

Come on SE, please fix this.

I have to agree. I do have a female Miqo'te alt, and looking from the side while she is walking, the back of the thigh right below the butt does this "clipping" thing into the buttock. Also it stretches or something so the vertices meet where mass was taken away. It's kinda awkward...

The polygon count could have been reduced without changing the basic shape which is really the issue here...right?

I'm just curious as to why the devs thought, "Yeah, that look's right. Now make the hair move". I don't see how they put so much detail in the game and missed this. FF has been sexual since FF7. Imagine if X-2 or 3 had flat bums? Lulu was flat chested? That's not SE style. Did they feel dirty? I noticed my female retainer's chest move a ridiculous amount for just standing and breathing. They thought to make the busts move a lot and yet every race has no glutes. They said it was for the armor sets but I don't buy it. They can create a virtual world but having a convex ass destroys the programming.

However, didn't they announce this is being fixed? They mentioned it on FFXIV Reborn.

This isn't really limited to just posteriors. The models as a whole were really whacked with the downgrade stick. 1.0 models and animations were way better than what we have now.

Having a fun time watching people post "omg don't bring this topic back" and bumping this thread back to the top by doing so.

As far as I'm concerned, this is a vanity issue just like ugly armors and the giraffe neck the elves have, except this is even more obscure. The only reason this topic became so controversial is because it happens to attract little kids who apparently can't read past the word "butt" without feeling the urge to make a post just to say "eww you like butt what a perv".

So yeah, if you don't care, stop posting and let this topic die. Posting just to sneer (besides being useless) just helps the OP's cause and increases the chances of the devs giving this a second look and (God forbid) actually deciding to "fix" the issue.

Congrats.. you just revived a dying topic.. *facepalm* why can't this topic just ... disappear. You people have received your answer from the lead designer himself and no amount of petitioning, rebelling, crying, whining, or anything will change his answer.
OP you have a very hard time letting things go.

Yes tell that to the Browncoats that had a movie (Serenity) produced from the resurrected ashes of Firefly which was cancelled by Fox because it was garnering too much of a Female audience. They did just about everything short of storming the gates of Fox Studios to support what they believed in and I for one am glad they didn't roll over when they initially 'received their answer' as you suggest here.

The concave backsides on characters is just poorly done, that's why people notice. I did art/figure drawing so that's why it stands out to me, but there are many others who can see it just doesn't look right as well without any artistic background whatsoever.

Also with regards to muscular/skeletal positioning the Miqo'te should stand with a slightly forward lean to maintain balance due to having a tail instead of that hips thrust forward thing they do now. I'd like to see some idle stance options along the lines of casual, heroic, attention, etc, where we can choose how our characters stand.
