View Full Version : *sarcasm* Does this make my CAST look fat?

Are all male CASTs like this, or is this a bug or what?

Apparently I've never tried wearing any sort of swimwear on my CAST before, but when I put it on, my character suddenly became wide...

Normal > Swimsuit > Yukata > Comparison

(Bikini swimwear omitted from research for obvious reasons... don't want the ladies screamingswooning or anything)

I guess I can understand that if you take off skin tight clothing that your gut will end up hanging out (although his entire torso got wider, and only the torso), but does this apply to any other race or gender? Guess I won't be wearing a yukata anyway. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

That's weird... never had a male CAST, but this is the first I've heard of that.

There are no ladies in PSU, so don't worry about the swooning too much...

As I recall...
There was one long-sleeve shirt that Shimarisu or someone noticed/complained that suddenly reduced your arms to pencil thin rail type things or somehow skinny-fied any dude who put it on. There was photo proof on that one as well.

So it's not beyond them to make clothing that sort of shifts the body type of the wearer, odd as that may be. No one ever figured out why or how it works. The post is from waaay back when psu started and they released the outfit tho, so you'd have trouble searching it.

Since I have a cast I will test it also, but I wish there was something that let you look like the oldskool HUcast. You can't be wide enough on here without getting a fat dude, and no matter what you do the legs are too thin.

So then it's not just me? And it goes for female CASTs as well?

So much for CASTs being the superior race. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wink.gif

I've never had any trouble with my lady cast, other than Agriel legs making her hips look super wide.

No, your characters don't like fat. Instead, they look kinda muscular and bulky. Is that a CAST?? It looks human, yet for some reason.. I find it to resemble some sort of cyborg-like humanoid.

Yeah, that's my CAST, that's the default "underwear", it's also the same with armor on. It's just with swimsuits and clothing they suddenly get wider. Maybe by themselves they don't look fat, but by comparison they definitely do. And I don't have anything against being overweight, but obviously that's also not how I intended it to look normally.

I'm on the PC - does anyone know if this holds true on the PS2 and 360 as well?

It could possibly be your television setting too. Originally, on my smaller television, my female Cast looked rather lean. However, once I upgraded to a large screen television, and 16:9 mode, my character suddenly seemed a tad wider... but as for the changing of parts, she seems rather consistent.

It's a flatscreen monitor, so there's not really any adjusting involved. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wink.gif The pictures were all taken from the same shop in the same pose, just with adding and removing clothes, it's not an optical illusion. Getting a bigger monitor or one of a different resolution wouldn't fix the problem, it's simply a problem of proportions with and without armor.

Lol.
Casts are just like Americans. They're the fat rulers of the universe.

After living here a while, I can 2nd this, there are just as many fatties in Germany as in america... and according to Laguna, American women are prettier-- but maybe he's biased ^_~

I don't think the cast looks FAT, per se... wider, yes. But not FAT. It's strange, but my newman's chest gets bigger in some clothes (guardless tunic) and smaller in others (amf army gear)...

And who said there's no ladies in PSU? (Pulls out Vish...)

Well if at least some of you don't consider it fat, then maybe I will go around in a bikini swimsuit after all. Thanks! http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif
