Whatever its other shortcomings, Final Fantasy XIV at least manages to approach the holy grail of RPG character customisation – the ability to change the breast size of the player character at creation.
The option is apparently actually hidden away under “face selection” in true Square Enix style, rather than being a straightforward option.







Otherwise character creation looks to be distinctly behind the curve, with meagre selection of meshes for each option – compare to Bioware or Obsidian RPGs with an obsessive amount of control over chin and nose shape.
Sadly for the huge proportion of men who prefer playing female characters in their MMORPGs, a full breast size slider seems an unlikely addition.
On the whole customization being behind everything else... Its still a beta they already said that the creation isnt going to be to its fullest until retail... Seriously reviewers of any quality need to think before putting up opinions your just making yourselves looks inherently stupid.
That's not a breast size selector, everyone here has been trolled.
There is a way to make the breasts bigger though and i'll tell you how it's done. There's different preset heights for the character as in taller or shorter labeled as 1,2,3,4,&5. The shortest preset (1) will have the smallest breasts and the tallest preset will have the larger breasts (5). In other words, each "preset has different body proportions", there's not a slider for a specific part of the body such as the breasts.
Awesome~~ Now i can stare at women's breasts and say i'm maintaining eye contact w00t
Anyone else realise this is still in production? I know we like to take every opertunity to take a dump on SE's head but seriously guys this is getting pathetic.
I have to agree with you there.
Sure, the latest FF's haven't been the most amazing, but damn, it's like every little thing has to be criticized.
Some people just like hating big franchises when they become too popular.

Will the game run faster if you choose small breasts? I mean, you don't need to compute as much breast pyhsics.
So, THAT'S what the 'technical problems' delaying the PS3 release are~
In all seriousness, the character customization looks amazing. I'm guessing those are PC screens, though~
I would rather have a smaller selection of dev-designed actually usable faces, rather than an almost infinite number of poor, horribly deformed people.
Oblivion and Demon's Souls stand out in my mind as being incredibly hard to make a face I'm actually happy with. Didn't bother trying with ME/ME2 as I liked the default Shepard, but I doubt it was any easier.
You should see what some ppl have done with Aion. It's pretty impressive.
hmm bouncy wouncy? :D
I'm sold!
UMMMM guys fact 101: Women get boob stink if they don't wash under their boob line.. That's why big boob women don't understand where their stink comes from.
Best option ever, now I'll finally get to play my peta female character!
What the....I didn't notice this until now. Spent like 2 hours on the character creation and never put attention to that. I was actually looking at her real face. lol.
Sims 3 defaults were the worst. Just looked like variations of a single person. Very offensive in it's attempt to force a certain look on all players. Fallout 3 was only marginally better. It was a handful of people you could choose from, but again variants of the same person. That is not customisable in the least but an insult to intelligence of users.
Shooting MMO All Points Bulletin has already achieved the holy grail of character customization. all else are second.
I have to +1 this... APB Customization is un believable
Well... It looks like this is only for the japanese version. And i just checked the character creation on XIV And there is no breast size selector... So This might mean that the japanese have more selector's than the western version.
This is sad...
I bet they license the PhysX engine for realistic boobies.
I bet they license the PhysX engine just for realistic jigglies.
Funny enough I was actually going to buy this just to create huge boobs. That's the only reason why I play those WWE games. You can make MASSIVE, fake boobs.
I wished all games had this..
If you're going to be running around looking at one thing for hundreds of hours, it may as well be something hot.
You make it sound like its the first MMO to actually have such an option...
Go play Aion, AoC, Continent of the Ninth and so on.
You also seem to compare an MMO to mostly SP RPGs if you name Bioware and Obsidian in comparion.
Btw im playing female chars too because i like to look at female chars (and real women too ^^), but i dont like the big breast sizes in many games. They look stupid most of the time and in dont have a big tit fetish. :P
But it seems the charcreation will suck in comparison to Aion's (and some other MMOs being out there for some years), even Tera Online's got upgraded. But japanese MMOs are always behind. Korean ones ftw, they even started to get away from the typical grind they were infamous for a while ago.
there should be a arekishi's size too
Still not doing it right..
can it have ninja gaiden sigma bouncy physics?
By the way, if you want DFC in FFXIV then look no further than the Lalafell, if you're into midgets that is
Woohoo, I could make big breasted women! And they HAVE a DFC option for all you lovers. They're called men ^^
AGE???
Most mmos that have decent graphics have this option really, from everquest 2 that is 6 years old to age of conan. Games like warhammer and wow that had meh graphics are release but really this is a standard feature in mmos.
I recall Silkroad Online having a similar option in its character creation screen though...
Oh well. Whatever adds variety to the characters.
Maybe they should have an option for penis size, too.
*spoilers* They do. *spoilers*
Also, the limited customization is a given there just starting beta, there will be more options later.
I too would rather see a loli beating stuff up as that's my favorite archetype ever. :3 I wonder what the breast size choice will say about the player.
NOT
BIG
ENOUGH!
I have to agree its not big enough!
So many males are gonna crank this thing to 11.
90%
'cause 11 is 1 bigger, innit?
Why do you guys hate Spinal Tap jokes? Is it because they aren't edgy anymore?
BETA.
So include "Breast size option please" with your feedback. Give the Lalafell some love, too.
Wow! YOUR ALL FUCKING FAGGOTS! MAYBE ALL OF YOU ARE FAT ASS NERDS WHO ALWAYS LIKES TO JERK OFF THEIR SISTERS PANTIES! DIE FUCKING NERDS DIE!! ALL OF YOU!!
I'm voting this up. Kudos for an anon troll to finally make an account and attach a name to their ignorant statement. Of course, you'll be getting banned eventually lol
lols? why would such a person create an account here?
I think because Artefact has been deleting the anon posts like that, which they should. So they think they might be safe just by creating an account to post like a jackass.
Just ignore the troll.
You account holding people are failing dismally by not voting him down.
Kinda retarded, yes, when he could have posted without making an account and sign it like this:
"--pukista"
But noooo... Retard went and made an account...
And yet here you are...
1/10 man. It's like you're not even trying!
@pukista, you're a close minded person, aware of that?
Is there an option to make my character's crotch size bigger?
I SAW WHAT THE GAME CREATORS DID THERE! xD
neat!
Haha, they think more people will play they shitty battle system game just by adding oppai customization.
They're pretty correct about that...
Sadly they are right.
Not with me...
I won't even give this game my money, unless I can make Fuko just for kicks and laughs...
Or a completely flat loli wearing cat ears and panties that goes around killing large monsters as was suggested up there.
About time I say.
I'm more surprised they don't have a DFC option.
Yeah, I wish they would be as flat as Miku in that new Vocaloid game...
Disgusting flat chest?
Hm....I guess that's fairly DFC. I can roll with that.
Funny, character creation is about the only thing AION did right, wonder how a newer game manages to "do worse" in said category.
A female's breasts are now officially part of her face.
Most men seem to consider a women's breasts as their face.
"nice eyes you got there"
win comment
*stares at a woman's boobs*
Ahem. My face is up here.
Reply: Well according to Square Enix your
face is down there too.
Heh.
This. ^^
The only reason I would consider playing. >.>;;
Well most RPG players prefer breasts with size C and over, but I hope there's a DFC option somewhere.
If only you can do that in real life
There is nothing more badass than a loli owning a 10 story tall beast.
DFC is alright.
u should play maplestory, they r as flat as board
13:57 anon
No, if you do this, you'll have a fucking TRAP.
Next thing you know, there's a character with the name Chris Hansen created...
"Why don't you have a seat over there, you 10-storey-tall beast."
"I wasn't doing no nothing!! She started attacking me first!!"
"Sure, I've heard that many times before."
@master-evil: isn't that, like, Strike Witches? :D
actually there is something badder.
A loli pwning a 10 story beast in cat ears and panties :p
GODDAMNIT!! I was working on a function like this for my own game ;_;
hopefully if I ever finish this shit it'll be way better than FFXIV (won't be difficult...)
Correction: Strike witches had girls with no skirts
Except for rare exceptions ofc
@makkun: Strike Witches was the first anime to have loli girls with short skirts fighting things? WOW!
<_<
No, not like Strike Witches, no stupid guns attached to feet and arms.
Actually there is something more badass then both. Rance
Since most of the males look like females anyway, just choose a male character and you'll have your DFC.
they want it to be legal in australia
A checkbox is fine, too.
Downloadable Flat Chest?
The character creation isn't behind the curve. You're comparing it to single player offline games.
I can tell from this comment that someone hasn't played Aion or Champions Online...
Lol wut, what does singleplayer vs multiplayer have to do with customization? If anything it's the opposite, games like everquest 2 and age of conan had better options than this years ago.
It has everything to do with it. Generating and loading hundreds of different character models in a persistent world MMO is alot harder to do than setting 1 customizable character in an offline world where everything else is constant.
Objection on Age of Conan's, the character creation was rather crappy there. I've never played EQ2 so I wouldn't know. Of course, compared to a game like City of Heroes the customization is rather lax, but compare other recent MMOs and this is average or above average. Perhaps more importantly for some, the FFXIV models actually look better than any other MMO I can think of at the moment, and normally the more customizable the characters, the lower the quality of the graphics.
I'm not including single player games because they're another genre. If you want to include cross-genre comparisons, games like Smackdown vs Raw make all of the games mentioned in this post look pathetic with its customization options.
Artefact just has a huge bias against this game. He seems to also be biased toward western RPGs.
I guess they're saying a woman's breasts is their face...
I really like the character design this time, especially the face. Miqo'te is just so cute!
Perfect World had a breast slider
didn't make it a good game though
Sucked a whole year out of my life, wasn't even fun. God dammit anon.
I see nothing wrong with this.
Wow, those breast sizes are totally reasonable.
Where are the gag breast options?
Another final fantasy already? Feels like I was just reading about how crappy the last one was a couple of months ago.
edit: found a timeline on wikipedia. Seems like releasing one every year is kind of common.
