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

Of course it does, if character models have similar shapes then they can just copy/paste the art instead of needing to retool it for every race. This is why I said in Beta it was a bad idea to pine for more and more and more and more new races.

The more you have the more work it is to keep up the same standard of quality so they will cut where they can to prevent them from actually increasing their workload when their goal is to be streamlining.

You'd have a point if the Bust Slider didn't exist and equipment didn't already form fit to your character model.

The explanation really went on a tangent though and while I understand some of their reasoning, it doesn't hold up. Not to mention XIV's competition has no issues with this.

Obviously just give all races/genders some fabulous butts so all gear will work fine!

Yes, nobody would have a problem with this. It would look perfectly normal for the male characters to have the behinds of 1.0 Mithras. 1.0 didn't have much in the way of a booty in the first place but at least it wasn't concave like it is now.

Well...that's a BIG BIG DISAPPOINTMENT

Wish they never made it for the PS3, they should have just waited for the PS4 release. It would have saved time and people would have had less problems with log in and registration procedures. Damn the game is gimped and plagued with memory issues.

Having to compromise the game to cater for the lower end... pathetic. I have always wondered about the lack of shape to the female characters. I always thought it strange how disproportionate the upper body looks towards the lower end. Having appealing female shape is so important. Its not a none issue at all. We need eye candy im sorry to say :/

Will they be able to resolve this issue once DX11 is introduced? When they shift the game to PS4 will they stop with the silly excuses?

Really makes me sick that Square Enix is still about JP players first. Fans should be treated equally no matter which nation they're from. We're always last for everything it seems, and they rarely listen to us. But they sure are happy to take our money.

Kinda expected them to not change anything. They seem to only impliment stuff that benefits them in the long run, things like an AFK timer so they can squeeze even more players on an already crowded server. Which means less spending on more servers. The bust slider really doesn't do much. If you wear a robe you're still almost flat chested even with max bust size, i'm sure the butt slider would have been the same. Also it's not just the cat people, it's ALL of them. I see a lot of mention of just the female cat people(not sure the name), they were mithras from my memory. But they all have a lack of buttage!

lol my efforts were not in vain.

An official translation will come soon, but to sum it up in one sentence, it's basically done for the sake of performance optimization (balancing character detail with the increased variety that comes from the new races, etc.). Oh well :/

Like the poster below the dev post said, they basically had to sacrifice the butts to give birth to Miqote males and such.

So they use the same skeleton? Is that why the pelvis is tilted wrong? =\

Before this thread, I never even remotely thought about what mine or any other characters rear end looked like. Now since I've read it... hmmm, nope I still don't think about it.

Of all the things in the game that could be addressed by the development team at SE, what a female cat lady's ass looks like isn't one of them.

Because you don't care, there's no reason for SE to listen to all the people that do, eh? And if you don't care what they look like, why do you care if they get changed?

Kittra bought up a good point. The OP even had a thread in beta 3 and 4 about the butts (which was ignored) and it was larger than this. All it took was to repost in the JP forums and one week later they respond lol.

[Vandark]

Made some small edits on the OP Highlighted in blue text, I didn’t spend much time on it really so if there is anything else I should edit/remove feel free to let me know your opinion but this is basically my opinion on what could still possibly be done now to solve the problem on the Female Miquo'te, without adjusting the but/rear at all.


Because the female Miquo'te has been changed so severely, re adjust the tilt of the pelvis so the back is straight "Not on an odd angle" could be enough to make the Female Miquo’te model look normal again.
The odd angle and forward tilt causes the concave look, perhaps this would also be enough to make the rear look less tiny as well because it wouldn't be weirdly tilted so far forward

You obviously missed the post that was made by Takeo Suzuki; The Lead Designer for this game.

Honestly you don't take the time to notice that everyone IS treated equally and all feedback is considered. You sound like a stuck up child who wants everything in the world, can't have it, so complains about not getting what they want when it's right there in front of you.
