Funny thing about MMOs and RPGs.

I'd usually encounter a situation where the clothing for my level was ugly, or i didn't like a specific weapon. But the sheer fact said weapon/clothing set was a higher tier than my last would mentally make it look much better just because.

PSU has simply spoiled us. Oddly enough, i hated the majority of the rares on PSU. I liked the lower-tier weapons much better. I've said before, my favorite weapons on that game were Hanzo (A), Cresaud (A), Kan Yu (S), those A-rank Yomehi TSabers with the spinning hilt, and Tiga de Ragan just because. I thought most (if not all) of the axes in that game were ugly.

Probably missed a few. I always figured that some of the lower and more common weapons should have definitely been higher-ranked, like Sweet Death, Creasword and definitely Crimson and it's twin form, which looked awesome but was completely destroyed because of how common it was. And then there were obvious issues, like Agito Replica and Psycho Wand having no neat effect whatsoever. (+1 targets and a name change on the rarest sword in the game? Seriously?)

Hyper Viper was the most fun i ever, ever had with my Ranger. Like one of the only weapons with a neat effect.

Hear, hear!

I really do not understand the fascination with making higher-tier weapons look completely absurd (it's not something limited to Japanese developers, sadly), but it really has got to stop. Going ornate and/or over-the-top just because you can is absolutely terrible reasoning. Higher-tier weapons should at least try to be more aesthetically pleasing, instead of just having the artist go gung-ho "screw sensibility, we have INSANITY!" (because, seriously, some of those S-rank weapon designs have absolutely no sense to them whatsoever). It even managed to somehow get worse in Infinity, where practicality was apparently thrown out wholesale.

It really made me rather sad that Crea weapons, being clearly aesthetically superior to most of the weapons in the game, were relegated to being utterly inferior weapons - not the least of which is because, for whatever reason, the devs decided that being able to hit two targets with basic attacks made up for having utterly craptastic base stats. I also exclusively used GRM A-rank axes because, like you said, most of the axes were fuggin' ugly.

Well. Let's hope the PSO2 team takes a better tack this time around. They certainly seem to be doing much better with everything else, after all.

Body-builders can get bloated in the abdomen for a number of reasons, mainly from shooting growth hormones, or steroids as illustrated in the picture posted above (even though that one in shopped to exaggerate).

Plus, isn't there a slider that makes the muscle definition fade away?

PSP2 addressed that somewhat, since you could turn anything S-rank... (but extend codes should have had other sources). The really high rarity stuff was still stronger, but not to the point of utterly and forever outclassing your preferred weapons...

No...breast implants are not normal anatomy. You're absolutely right.

It has nothing to do with the character creator though. Being able to alter your character's breasts means nothing. You can make them look fake or natural.

What, are you assuming every female has identical breasts? Lol no.

Serephim

That probably would be taking it too far.


Breasts don't count, because 1) they're breasts, and 2) you cannot hide them. It would almost be like not letting you control the width/depth/height/length of your nose or something.


Penis, on the other hand? They 1) aren't a secondary sex characteristic, and 2) are always hidden from view, unless you're wearing something that is probably 90% inappropriate for public.


And after Googleing Roid Gut...it seems like a primary cause for that is your organs expanding. No, it is not natural for you to have almost no fat on your body and have a belly that huge. The only "natural" thing that does that to people is malnutrition.

Well that or a tumor.

Serephim
Sep 12, 2011, 01:12 AM
I just explained the difference between a breast slider and a penis slider. The only real argument that can be poised against that would be from some retarded feminist point of view that no rational person should care about anyway. Breasts are a secondary sex characteristic. If it's any consolation, GUYS CAN HAVE THEM TOO. They just usually do not.

If there was a Penis or Vagina slider, then you could complain, but as both of those are absolutely absurd, i don't see the point in arguing about it. Bottom line is, there is no point in giving you complete control over almost EVERY aspect of your body, and then not do the same for the breasts, just because some 12 year old might be offended. It limits creative options, and it's stupid. Let me ask you a question -- when's the last time you looked at a female over puberty and didn't see a pair of breasts? I'll wait. Exactly.



For the last time people, if you're offended by being able to manipulate breasts for 5 minutes in a character creator, go complain to some feminist board so they can raid us with complaints and i can laugh my ass off as i troll them to death.




But if i were a woman, i'd personally be quite pissed off that you couldn't customize the breasts like that. That's more "SEXIST" than anything.

That's about the crux of it. People are so weird -- they think that "equality" means totally ignoring that differences exist. Somehow, pretending like there's no such things as breasts will accomplish anything other than making breasts the pink elephant in the room (and consequently making their existence more of an "issue").

It really all comes back to the one of the worst afflictions ever visited among mankind -- sexual prudishness, and the idea that pretending sex doesn't exist and pretending that women don't have skin and breasts and other nice things is somehow "moral."

If I had a time-machine and could single out a single person or group of people responsible for visiting the misery this idea has caused the human race, I'd go back with a nuke and wipe them out without a moment's hesitation.

They're. Just. Boobs. Get. Over. It.

The penis slider is the weirdest idea ever and I don't really see a point.

I think the breast slider is a good option, besides, there was already a very small breast slider in PSU. I do think they went a bit far with the weird rocket breast you can make and I will hate looking at characters like that, because wtf.
But I rather be able to give my character small breast or whatever, while not having to mess with their and body proportions at the same time. It just gives me more freedom.
The only thing that I think is missing from the breast slider (if it hasn't been shown yet) would be a completly flat chested option. Because if I can have rocket breasts, flat chest should also be an option. Would only be fair.

When I make characters I sometimes create whole backstories for them, eventhough I don't roleplay, but I just love doing that because it gives my characters more personality and depth. So I would love to maybe have a flat chested female for those reasons. For exmaple, maybe this female character wants to be a special agent but only males are allowed to enter, so she just pulls of a Mulan or something.

I dont know about you, but it's definitely not her flat-chested'ness that makes her attractive. She has a nice body and a very nice pair of legs to compensate. There is no attention drawn to her flat chestedness. Maybe i hate flat chested females in most Anime because they always make them out to be so ridiculously lacking in confidence. I like it when it just doesn't even bother them.[spoiler-box]

ZERO titties. She never give a shit, and neither did anyone else.

And Mulan had plenty of boobs. She just tied them back. Honestly, she didn't (couldnt) do that wonderful of a job, and if any of the guys had put their hands on her chest it would have been blissfully obvious she was a woman. It was funny how nobody had noticed after ALL that time she was a woman.


I must say though, they didn't put any attention to it because it was irrelevant, but Mulan probably was toned like fuck by the end of that movie. She went through military training.

I wasn't suggesting her flat-ness is her most notable trait. Rather, I was suggesting that flat-chested female characters can easily be as, or more attractive than any "normal-sized" female character.

BRS's design in particular is a perfect combination of various design traits that all play well together. Changing any one thing about her tends to make the look fall apart. Give her big boobs, for example, and suddenly that bikini top becomes seriously distracting (not to mention you lose the initial dissonance of a confident chick with no boobs). It also changes her silhouette, and just looks incongruous with her slim frame (a problem I often have with cheesecake-type characters). Give her more muscle mass and you lose the contrast of a slim, waif-ish, almost frail-looking chick wielding a cannon bigger than herself. Change her skin color and... well, wtf would you do that?

Btw, I agree fully that the trend of pettanko characters being seriously insecure gets really old, but that's Japan for ya. Characters like BRS and, say, Yumekui Merry are a nice breath of fresh air in that direction.

Speaking of Merry...

Well...yeah, i thought that point was obvious. Boobs dont make the female body attractive, the female body makes the female body attractive.


The thing is, the "uniqueness" you get from a woman with huge boobs in anime/TV is completely gone because of how common it is. And the whole "flatchested" thing...i dont know the term (because there are too freaking many ways to describe a very short female with big pupils a tiny mouth and nose barely any boobs and an annoying child/hentaisexbot voice) is completely, COMPLETELY played out in anything that comes from japan. As well as females with freakishly retardedly huge breasts.


I think the Bleach manga does it very well, though. Inoue is VERY well endowed, but it looks like she 1) wears a bra and 2) her outfits never exploit them. Rukia barely has anything there, but 1) Rukia is a thug so 2) she doesn't care. (So, nobody else does.)

Tite Kubo is a badass artist though. I think he's one of my favorites.

There is absolutely nothing that isn't already played out. Just sayin'.

The whole point is to refine it, further and further, until we reach the point where the returns diminish so heavily that we stick with what we've got and pursue another tack (kind of like - and this may be a bit of a stretch - how we continued to increase processor clock rates further and further until, eventually, the returns from increasing clock rate alone were simply not worth the effort... so we started doing multicore stuff).

I know Mulan had breast, but 1. she had really small breast 2. the clothes she whore (and probably some binder to make them comepletly flat) helped making them go unseen. Now, in PSO2 you will most likely not have clothing options that will make your breast smaller, we all know what most clothes did to them in PSU.

And the reverse-trap character idea is only one idea I would have for wanting the option to go very flat chested.
An other being that I just also find flat chested females appealing, especially if you can work with their hip proportions to still keep a very feminine look.

Boobs, Enforcer. We're talking about boobs.

And since I'm posting, I'm required by honor to post my oppinion. And that is, more customization is always a good thing. I kinda like the fact that now I can adjust my breast size without bothering with anything else. Or rather, I like the fact that I can adjust my proportions without having distractingly large breasts. It was a pain to try to find the perfect blend of muscle and flexibility on my characters, only for breasts to get in the way.
Though I don't know why that was a big deal. I mean, I wore Degiel all the time anyway.

I also just want to take a moment to muse on how horribly inflated the general population's image of breast size is.

For example, lots and lots and lots of western media has female characters displayed with D-cups or bigger, regardless of how appropriate it is on their figure (Lara Croft being a prime example, but most superheroines also qualify). This becomes the "standard". Thus, when people see characters with such proportions, they think of them as "average". But they're not even close to the average. And they begin to think of what's really the average as "small". And the concept of REALLY small boobs is completely, utterly alien to them.

It's... Not healthy. Let's put it like that. So sad, really. So, so very sad.

Yeah, and that's one of the reasons a lot of young girls suffer from depression, too: the media has basically made huge bazongas the "average", and they become discouraged with themselves when, in truth, it really doesn't matter. There are people out there that prefer IBTs, me being one of them, so that's what I'll be going with.

I partially blame Keira Knightley for my unbridled love for pancake boobs. But, uhh....

Sure, in PSU, my character has gigantic breasts. But, I honestly didn't try to do that. One of my friends pointed it out one time, I said "holy shit, you're right. They're huge!", and the rest is history.

It's not overinflated, im pretty sure most people know that Lara Croft's tits were ridiculously fake. And besides, that's becoming more and more unattractive as the times go on anyway. You do notice, Lara Croft has lost more and more of that ridiculous figure she had when she was released, right? Shes had realistic proportions for a while now, and the new game Square is publishing, she seems to have lost a bit more mass there.


random search on google says average breast size in America is B cup. Smaller is actually the lower precentage -- one size higher is actually more frequent than the size lower.


According to the information we have available, here's how average breast size in America breaks down:


AA cup: 2%
A cup: 15%
B cup: 44%
C cup: 28%
D cup: 10%
DD cup: 1%



And im not surprised. American's are taller (literally bigger, not only talking fat here) on average than most other countries on the planet. And, as common sense tells us, the bigger the person, the more likely they are to have larger breasts. NOW you factor in what we as americans eat (pretty fatty), and the fact that larger breasts are MORE common than smaller breasts is actually not that farfetched at all.

JAPAN on the other hand, im sure they have more than their share of self esteem problems with their female bodies.


I find it funny though. While some cultures are struggling to get SMALLER, other people are trying to get bigger.

I could've sworn I read somewhere that D cups were now the average size in the UK, and a lot of average sizes for other countries are increasing too, thanks to things like breast implant surgery evolving, more ways to get estrogen into the body, more people eating fast food and gaining weight overall, etc., so it's probably not as farfetched as you might think, although I agree with you on how the media often portrays women in this way. Then again, different countries and retailers measure bra and cup sizes differently (inches vs. centimeters, for example), so there are a lot of discrepancies.

Yeah like i said, getting breasts doesn't seem to be that huge an issue these days. At all. LOSING mass is the challenge now.

I know W A Y more females with huge breasts than i do females with no breasts. I'd almost say it's somewhat rare for a females over in my area (south) to have an issue growing breasts. Most of them are quite well endowed. However, it's always the other areas that they are trying to work on.

Zyrusticae
Sep 12, 2011, 06:40 PM
For the record, I was referring to B-C cup as average. Using that as the range, D-cups or bigger are still not even close to being anywhere near as common as the portrayal in media shows them being.

(And I still absolutely despise seeing tough warrior chicks or athletic, acrobatic women with boobs like that. It's just wrong, man.)

It's hardly limited to western media/culture. If I go into Best Buy and look at the covers in the anime section... I see a lot of grossly oversized boobs adorning them. Of course, there's also a lot of flat-chested loli going on there at the same time.

I never understood the obsession with boob size, myself. There's a lot more things to a woman being attractive than her boob size, and even looking strictly at the breasts there's more to them looking nice than just size. In fact, generally the larger ones are less attractive when the bra comes off, I'd say. But, all I can really do is reiterate: They're. Just. Boobs. Yeah, they're nice and I like them as much as any red-blooded male, but people really need to quit focusing on them so much.

I only focus on them because they're always oversized. Well, almost always.

If people didn't keep inflating them over-excessively so very often, I wouldn't care, myself, as there are plenty of other aspects of character design that are so very important. But the giant jugs, man? How am I supposed to just... ignore those? It's terrible when they're plastered literally everywhere, on pretty much every single female character.

I was especially disappointed with APB, where the smallest possible size is a D-cup. Yes, a D-cup. The SMALLEST you can get. This, in a game touting customization as one of its biggest selling points!

I just can't ignore it, man. I wish I could. Really wish I could. :(

Edit: Just for another specific example, see League of Legends. The grand majority of female characters fall into the "large" range. Some fall into "average". And there are zero female characters that are actually flat or close to it. (Note: Children and yordles do not count.) It gets really old, really fast.

Then you should have made it clear on who you were talking to, so as not to seem like you were grouping everyone in the current conversation together. That's one of the many uses of the handy-dandy quote function.

I wasn't talking to anyone specifically. My entire post was referring to the whole "pulling a Mulan" statement. Anyone making such a character would be making a reverse trap. In this case, the person wanting to make a Mulan-esque character was redroses, but from the way you were talking made it sound like you wanted that type of character as well. Or at least that you approve of it.

Also, the obvious fact that I said "Mulan has boobs" in the post should've indicated that I wasn't referring to people making flat-chested characters.

Except it's bollocks.

Why are female characters so special? Do they really believe people buy female characters exclusively for their sexuality?

Because, y'know, the existence of all those male champions and monster champions seems to discredit that entirely. If people will buy male and monster champions by the scores just because they're cool, or just for their mechanics, why would they not do the same for female champions? What's so different about them?

Also, their argument really falls apart when you consider the existence of Ezreal, who is a seriously androgynous male character (who has a running joke on the forums of people mistaking him for a female one). So it's okay for people to mistake male characters for female ones, but not the other way around?

Total bollocks, man. Total bollocks.

Its already been stated, but the constant minor bouncing during an idling character in creation is due to physics imprecision (not necessarily a glitch). Minor movements, like the idle animation, cause them to receive enough of a shock for a physics reaction to take place.

Also, anti-gravity bras. There's your in-universe justification. :wacko:

From my observations, the bounce only occurs when a drastic morph of the body shape happens. This would be flipping through the presets. It seems to me that the bounce is from the sudden change causing the physics to suddenly recalculate to accommodate the changed mass.

In short, the bounce is required for the physics to kick in properly.

This thread is full of so much stupid that it hurts.

You want a woman's opinion on the breast slider? It's cool. It's a neat piece of technology that adds customization to your character. It's not offensive at all. It's no degrading, demeaning, sexist or anything like that.

You know what IS offensive? How so many people react to this. Some of the reactions are just pathetic. How are you people so obsessed over this? Don't any of you have female friends? Has nobody here actually seen a pair of breasts before? Normal people don't care about this kind of thing. I'm in my bra infront of my roomates and friends, both male and female, all the time (especially in the summer). NOBODY CARES!

It blows my mind there is this much discussion over 30 seconds of character customization. The fact you can individually change arm and leg length is far more interesting than a boob slider.

Quoting this because more people need to see it:

Oh, and Mulan wore a tensor bandage. It's a common theatre trick to make females appear as male. Even if you grab a womans chest while she's wearing one, the only way you're going to tell it's a woman is by the shrill cry of pain that they make, because you're sure not going to feel boob

Agree. It doesn't offend me one bit. And I'm glad there's such an option since I'm sure there are folks who likes that added detail. I just wonder how many man hours where used to include this in the game where it could of been spent somewhere else.

As for the excessive jiggle, well after seeing Mai from Neo Geo's KOF series years ago, fan service like this doesn't surprise me one bit. Maybe 10 years ago it would, but not now-a-days.

I agree that the way they twitched during the character creation demo was probably a glitch, but they do jiggle excessively even normally. Watch the last bit of the third alpha video SEGA released, where they have all the characters "swarming". There's a female character there who just jumps up and down the entire time. The boobs move way more than they really should. It doesn't really bother me, I'm just saying.

I dream of games someday having realistic breast physics (not just bouncing, but deformation, lateral morphing and taking into account the physical ramifications of clothings and support. You know, for the sake of realism.

Also the whole thing about boobs being one of my greatest passions. 'Cause they're mesmerizing, as well as being among the best things in the world (up there with bacon and kittens).


....Eeeeexcept in the HUnewearl costume's case! Anyone else realize how bizarre they look while wearing that costume? The shirt seems to be the ONLY thing supporting them at all. That means they sag. Not just not-perky, full-on SAGGING. Like grandma sagging. >_< This bugs me more than the random jiggling in character creation!! I've been waiting for them to realize something is wrong with them since the first screenshot was released... but it doesn't look like they care about it.

And it's only in-game. The concept artwork looks mostly fine. Just whoever made the model for it had failed anatomy.
Anti-gravity bra - never worry about sagging again.

Seriously, just go with that as justification. I know some top-heavy girls who curse their bras as the work of Satan and unfortunately a necessary evil to prevent them from having natural kneepads. Anti-gravity brassieres are probably the best possible things that could be invented for the purposes of both comfort and alleviating back pain. It literally solves every possible problem on the subject.

...So yeah. Let's assume that's the case, and move on.

Very true, and that's all the explanation required in this thread.
I can actually go into a little more detail as to why they suddenly bounce and hair falls down and whatnot whenever a character is initially loaded.

It's because it loads the character first, and then initalizes all of the physics objects on the model. This is why whenever you see a character "pop" into view, there's a sudden bounce and hair and whatnot dangling and swinging around.

The more you know.

High School of the Dead doesn't take itself seriously, at all. The only reason to watch it is because, quite frankly, the artwork is beautiful. Yes, all the detail is put into beautifying the female cast (which is quite sizable), but... no, no, that's it. All the detail is put into the female cast.

That clip from GinTama looks amazing. I got tired of Naruto and Bleach because it's rare for there to be an actual fight scene, in shows dedicated to fighting. Most of the fighting is just special effects and word sparring, and not much work is put into showing off the technique used.


You people are fucking creepy. God help any chicks that play this game.

It's funny because almost all of the chicks are almost glad it's in.
What's the major argument about its inclusion, that it makes it far too easy to make monstrously sexual boobs? Funny thing is, we're so used to those, that now it's kind of more novel to make small, combat sensible breasts.
If the major argument that it's silly to put to much thought on a part of the body that's so taboo in our society, then... Well, I agree. But if it means that it saves me from making a character with unfortunately sized and highly active breasts, then I'm kinda glad it's in.

GinTama features the following genres (and more): action-adventure, aliens, comedy, historical, humanoid, ninjas, parallel universe, parody, samurai, sci-fi

It is not a battle manga/anime, however there are short battle arcs through out the series. In the anime they usually range from four to eight episodes. Look it up on YouTube, there's plenty of clips which show off the different aspects of the show (or go to Crunchyroll and watch it).

I agree with that one word. It's like a constant you HAVE to have in the game. Over time, you kind of ignore those things a bit because it's constantly around. Get used to people freely talking about bust sizes.

On the other hand, the best part of this is that they actually may give you a true way to truly make the characters rather flat. Kind of wish that was a factor in PSU. Tynselle could've been smaller, that way. Though they may do the PSU thing, still, and have a selection of clothes that instantly give anybody wearing it, bigger chests. (I should call it the Phantasy Star Corset effect).

As far as having ONE outfit that looks slutty... I'm alright with that. Remember this is a Sci-fi game. Sci-fi always has that one character who's just sex appeal, and who's happy because of that. However, just as there's a slutty outfit, there should be a conservative or combat worthy outfit to balance it out. Saying you can choose a sexy outfit because of customization doesn't make sense unless you can also choose an unsexy outfit too.

But besides that, newmans prefer unrestrictive clothing anyway, due to their animal DNA (though again, I'm assuming I'm working with genesis Numans here). They prefer to have full range of motion, and feel uncomfortable in clothing. So it makes sense their outfits show some skin.
Of course, there's a difference between wearing something comfortable, and wearing... That. So I'm chalking this up to creative liscensing.
And pervertism. Those help sell things, which means a bigger budget, which makes me happy.

IIRC, gears of war is sci-fi as well. They were able to make guys and...gasp...girls look believable. The simple fact that PSO2 has a "Dead or Alive-style" boob slider shows where there intent is. I guess you can say that one of the biggest differences between Western & Eastern games is that the vision of women characters are really very different.

Thing is, though.... Is that Gears of War is an apocalyptic setting. Of course you have to be a hard-ass to make it through alive... But by your logic, let's say for instance Gears of War 4 has a character creator.... And you can adjust the size of your characters boobs.

Tit slider is for ANY PREFERENCE, throw it out the window, don't even continue with it. I mean imagine DEFAULT boobs anyway in a JAPANESE GAME DEVELOPERS HANDS. You psuedo feminist should be HAPPY theres a boob slider, just like the REAL girl players are happy with it.

I don't see how Fomarl, Ramarl's outfits really look slutty. So humans look pretty average so far.

Newman women looking "slutty" was a part of the storyline since PSO (Short life = live hard = show some skin or something I dunno I just remember someone saying that.) Then Fonewearl's outfit looks like a baby could even wear it.

CASTS are CASTS they're robot chicks and the worse thing they really have is that cleavage on the Focaseal.

Only thing you should be complaining about is the JP players that instantly go for the "slutty" outfits and take up most of their population with loli-moe characters wearing them.

I'd say theres a fair balance with everything, and if you have a problem with it, then you have a problem with diversity, Besides... These games are usually rated what? T for Teen? So your kids are either old enough to play it or they're not, and it's not their problem otherwise. Otherwise you can say ESRB ratings aren't a big deal you can say the same for a few outfits out of like 9?

Where's the tough, butchy, Rip-A-Monster's-Head-Off models??? That was why I mentioned how GoW3 was handling their female characters. Just an option in pso2 would be nice to see. All I've seen is skin so far, and this is before the bikinis come out when the game releases.

Japan.

Just wear the ramarl outfit. Same goes for all of the CASTS looking like GUNDAMS (But ohhhh I'm the only one complaining about that, BUT TITS ARE WORSE THAN GUNDAMS! D<)

Either way if they're not adding like 50 more outfits, this character customization is still not satisfying me more than PSU's.

Though I'm sure they will...

Otherwise... /facepalm

I'm sure there are going to be a lot more costumes other than the default. With the character creator I'm sure you could make a very butchy, macho chick. You can even give her a 6-pack iirc.

Man you guys are awfully serious about some tits. I love 'em and I'm all about equality, but god damn you guys need to calm down :P

IMO it's a big selling point to a lot of people, whether or not we have the same standards as that. And if we want this game to flourish it's got to draw some kind of crowd. If the majority of people want 14-year-old midgets with breasts the size of the Forest Dragon boss, then let them! It just means they'll never be taken seriously by the majority of us here.

Man forreal, i can't believe you guys are still going on about this shit.

And don't bring up Team Ninja during any conversation about women, because there is no series thats better at turning them into flawless, barbiedoll bouncy objects.

None of them are attractive anyway because they all look like they're made of plastic and have wonderful floppy boobs that will be on the floor by the time they are 40

People seem to have pretty poor memories. The only "skimpy" outfit in the alpha was the default HUnewearl gear. That's it. And in PSO, the only female character with (sorta) skimpy outfits was... the HUnewearl. Hmm...

And seriously people. I'm pretty sure there will be at least a few more clothing and CAST parts options in the final game than there were in the beta.

That was my whole point! I hope that i get an option like the one I mentioned. Casts don't count btw. They are technically covered head to toe in armor like I prefer. And FOnews get a pretty dress. :facepalm:

True, none of the HUnewearl outfits in PSO approached the outright skimpiness of the HUnewearl outfit in PSO2.

However, it's still the one and only example of it. I'm not saying there won't be other skimpy outfits, but I don't think that the existence of one skimpy outfit in the alpha means much of anything, let alone being something to get worked up about. Besides, it's a cool looking outfit even disregarding it showing some skin, I think. Asides from the whole showing a bit of butt crack... that's just odd.

Huh? Caseals had boobs in PSO. They just didn't move. Then again, neither did marls' or newearls' since there were no physics for that. It would be rather odd to have "female" casts without something going on in the chest area.

So... did we see bounciness on the caseals in the alpha videos? I didn't pay attention to that when I was watching...

I dont remember -- did the Cast breasts on PSU have their psuedo bounce physics like the fleshies did?


I can't really recall any cast outfits that put emphasis on cleavage, though. Sure, you could easily give them breasts, but the outfits didn't advertise them like on PSP2 and upwards. In fact, there really were not too many skimpy outfits i can recall in PSU/AotI, aside from the obvious disgusting voloyal set. Most of the outfits in PSU were quite modest in design.


There were plenty of female outfit combos I really liked, and also alot of male ones i enjoyed too (which is somewhat rare to me.) After PSP2 and up though? Everything went downhill into cliche tropey territory. My male character kept the original male starter outfit up until the 100s. And then i think i switched from that to Kraz's set. Thats about it.



As for PSO2's outfits, the Hunewearl's bottom half is somewhat ridiculous to me, but i can let it slide i guess. I like the Ramarl outfit aside from the thigh part, which kind of feels forcibly set there TBH. I liked her army pants.

I dont mind her stance at all, but it feels like she has the opposite persona that the original Ramarl had, which is kind of annoying. She went from short haired army girl to...longhaired librarian with a gun?

Meh, blame Japan, i guess. I think it's funny that everyone kept their original feeling except for the FEMALE characters. (go figure, right?) Fomarl had a mysterious kind of feeling about her, that kind of "holy redemption mage" kind of look in all of her artwork. She doesn't have that feeling about her at all anymore. Caseal and Fonewearl don't count, because their personalities were pretty common. At least Fonewearl isn't going Magical Girl...at least i HOPE she isnt.

There were a few female CAST torsos that did a bit of chest exposure. Also, fixed that one sentence for you. :-P

Voloyal set was just.....ugh. Maybe it wouldn't have been so bad if it didn't auto-install fake ass breasts on your model. Other than that, it was something that i believe should have just stayed with the casino staff. It was sexy cute on them, but just disgusting on everyone else. ESPECIALLY the lolis, because then it was just annoyingly disturbing.


And yeah, silly me. Of course they had the same boob jiggle -- everyone in the game shared the same freaking animations.

I love the Vol set on certain characters (my own included, obviously). But, on lolis, it was pretty wretched-looking, considering 9-year-old girls don't have big breasts and wide hips.

I just really liked the figure that the outfit gave. I also think it's fun dressing like a cowboy-themed showgirl while beating the piss out of monsters.

Guess the design isn't for everyone, but it's one of my favorite outfits.

If you're having difficulty remembering what each part looked like: http://www.pso-world.com/items/psu/9/cast_parts/

There are quite a few that show off some flesh, such as the side or the midrift, which would otherwise make for some savage looking armor. There are some which show off far too much breast. And one which is otherwise what I would have found perfect on Levia, which covers all the breast except the nipple.
I was able to find a few armor sets I liked though. More than what I can say for the fleshie design.

They made Nacht Lotus (http://psupedia.info/Nacht_Lotus) to balance out Voloyal Set. Gives everyone DFC.

Also, Elaciel Legs + Elaciel Arms + Epicarel Torso = Dizzy. Casts actually get the most fanservicey outfit in PSU because of that.

Yes the chest slider is something but when I watch the alpha test videos and see the female characters walking around, I just don't notice it enough to even care. They're not porn star big to me and that's fine in my book.

I think about it when I watch the character creation video but after the person gets done with it and starts playing, I'm focused on the game itself and completely forget about it. Yeah you're going to notice it when you're chatting in lobby when you get bored but the game itself will distract you to the point of ignoring the "issue" all together.

I love how people automatically associate being a virgin with something "bad." Did it ever occur to you people that some people don't give a shit about sexual contact? Just like money, sex isn't everything. But, that's what happens when people let this shitty, short-sighted society we live in tell them what "normal" people "should" be doing/have done.

I know this guy was just trolling, but I felt the need to say that anyway.

It'll be like that for a lot of things, including the dreading "Snake Spin Syndrome." Sure, everyone sees it now in screenshots, but once we're all actually sitting down and playing the game, no one will notice or care about it.
