It would actually cost more than a raid tier, memes aside
The games models and how things work weren’t created with the slider mechanics, you would basically have to rework how the game handles every piece of gear and character model in order to get sliders to work
Which means you would be modifying the base and ancient code at times, and anyone who’s ever programmed knows how dangerous to touch old code cuz sometimes that stuff needs to be looked at wrong and now it’s not working
a modern day character creation tool would have been a billion times better than the “body 1/body2” easy mode “fix” they slapped onto the still 2004 era character creation page. But you have to consider which would take more work. And what would happen with every character created prior?
Im dying to play a female KT druid, but as a mog farmer they just dont look good in any thing.
the female panda body type is perfect for heavier set, while still being of a shape that looks good in mog sets. I havent found a single thing that doesnt look good on lady pandas so far.
I cant find anything that DOES look good on KT (or male panda for that matter).
A slider or anything that allows the body shape to be better so my mog hunting isnt for nothing.
Allied races for example (with the exception of Vulpera as the only new race) should have been customization options. The whole idea was so laughable in a supposedly “modern” game.
Yeah well… big humans have to be a separate race, you know!
Having golden hooves makes you a different race, too!
Oh no, no, no, no! Having brown skin makes you a different race! In case of orcs.
Etc.
Basically what the majority of people do in FFXIV.
Still, there is more player customization in that game than WoW (in terms of character height, and female bust). There really is no basic “size” slider though. For example, male humans in WoW are built like pro wrestlers. You wouldn’t be able to shrink them down to a more “average” size in FFXIV, other than their height.
They would just be like mini-pro wrestlers if you shrunk them, lol
At the very least can we get the Dracthyr treatment and be able to choose to be bulked up or down and have armor fitted to the new presets? Might as well kill two birds with one stone, seeing as most armor has clipping issues anyways.
