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

If someone who is playing the game wants attractive characters, what is wrong with that? Who are you to imply it's not an important thing, simply because it isn't important to you?

Funny thing is you'll have people telling you that you're wrong for not making it an important matter, so let's not pull that card.

And "who cares"? It's a general statement and provides the same results - You post on a forum about a video game's graphics specifically targeting the butt, so you're asking people what they think and to support wanting to get SE to change it. Now, the way it's presented is that it's such a huge issue and if it truly is this big of an issue, asking people on the streets if the size of their virtual character's butt is a game breaker for them is perfectly acceptable because they'd be the most non biased.

However you do admit people want basically a butt slide for attraction, not for gameplay reasons that people tried to pass off ;p

Miqo'te are not the only ones. I really wonder how my Roegadyn can support herself with such a small lower body x_x; It looks very strange to me.

Like bust size, it would be nice if SE implement it for butts too for all races male and female. I remember I asked for it and got 200+ likes in the beta forum and SE didn't read it.

This game has a "sexual theme" for some reason.

I would want a butt slider for attractiveness, I don't care about supposed gameplay reasons. I just don't understand what is wrong about wanting that. Is it "perverted" for a guy to like the way girls look or something? o_O

People on the streets don't matter, because those people aren't playing the game, and wouldn't be playing it either way. What matters is if it's a feature a decent portion of the userbase wants or not. And considering the number of likes the OP has gotten, and the number of times I've seen elsewhere about people complaining that their Roegadyn or whatever else they are playing has a weirdly flat butt, I would say there are enough people that want it to warrant it.
Implementing it would have no affect on the people who are playing the game and don't care about butt size. So why are there people against the idea or criticising those that want it? I just don't get it.

What response or reaction do you think you'll normally get? Would you call them shortsighted or narrow minded because they react normally, as in "wtf? it's not that big of a deal" normal? No one is being shortsighted, how obsessed people are about it is what some people are "mocking".

It's pretty easy to trivialize things, as you just did. Most of the activities that occur online in FFXIV would result in "that's weird" or even "wtf" reactions from people walking on the street. Taking a topic like this one out of context is very immature, under the same assumption you could make people react like that with most MMO topics.

You are part of a small intolerant minority of our community who will criticize any topic they dont consider "normal", if you want to come to these forums and reflect your own insecurities go ahead, but at least do it while respecting the opinion of others. Making a thread about this issue is hardly being obsessed.

You guys want more "butts" then play Final Fantasy V! Lol get it?

Seriously though, I don't mind them adding the butt size slider for more customization and fan service appeal.
But what I want more are those leaning physics when the character is making a left or right turn while running like in 1.0 and improve it by adding more, like climbing up and down animations and "feet leveling physics" when on uneven ground (for example while standing on stairs, one foot is stepping higher than the other foot).

All right, maybe I'm asking too much

Yep, I just saw it, nice job Vandark

Did you actually play 1.0?

Next thing I know you'll be telling me it wasn't as big, ignoring the fact theres pants.

These goal posts have been moving every time you hit reply.

This sure is looking great for you, trying to divert away from any conflicting evidence again. You don't even realize you were wearing a belt, moderately hiding the gap on a coatee.

Sure is getting politics in here.
