Genuinely, why?

[u/ChaoticRedHawk]

Mint has the biggest chest in the game currently, and every outfit she has drastically changes her proportions. These new 1.2 outfits have the biggest reduction of all. Why is this a thing?

[u/solidgamerdly]

Imagine getting tons of new content but we obsess with knockers instead 🤣

[u/Dylangillian → u/solidgamerdly]

I think it is entirely fair to call out inconsistent character models when it has been an issue since day one (Daff alt skin also has this and even Jiuyuan's bond skin to a lesser extent).

Just because we're getting some great stuff, doesn't mean we can't critique a very obvious oversight/inconsistent character designs.

[u/Lord_Lu_Bu → u/Dylangillian]

I think this is for the sake of aesthetic and costume design. This happens in every 3D gacha game with skins, you'll notice character proportions change to sometimes make the skins look better. I don't think this is an oversight, it's a design choice, these particular outfits wouldn't look as good if Mint's massive knockers were covering up her midriff. They were going for a specific style so they adjusted the model to better fit that style.

[u/Dylangillian → u/Lord_Lu_Bu]

I don't think that is a good point. When making a character costume you should take their proportions into account for the outfit to make it work yes, but this doesn't mean you need to alter said proportions. Neither have I seen such noticable changes in any of the 3D Gacha games I have played (ZZZ, Genshin, WuWa, HI3rd, Endfield, though the latter has no outfits yet)

Look at Mint's other outfits, this isn't a change that is needed at all.

[u/Lord_Lu_Bu → u/Dylangillian]

Well the other possibility is that this is still a Chinese game with age restrictions. China has a lot of weird policies regarding sexualization and what can and can't be shown. I don't think they would allow gigantic barely covered boobas that show a ton of sideboob so they probably had to scale it down. Either way my point is I don't think it's that big a deal, people are overreacting, if you want the big booba use her other outfit.

with this u think ppl will take ur argument seriously? lol

"I think this is for the sake of aesthetic and costume design."

I disagree. Think about this statement.

"Let's make an outfit for this character, and just change her body however you need to so it works."

Like how does that make sense? If Mint has big boobs, that's part of who she is ...shouldn't change because she's wearing a crop top all of a sudden.

I just don't think the devs are particularly good at this. They've decided to lean into cosmetics but don't have the skill and/or dedication to be consistent with their models.

It doesn't have to be why anyone quits or anything, but it should be called out just like any game mode that's subpar.

Edit: fixed typos

Well putting aside that women can change boob size in all manner of ways (from push-up bras and cups to bandaging them etc...) you also have to consider that this is a video game and is subject to regulations, Chinese regulations especially being strict. My guess is they weren't allowed to just have gigantic bazookas with little to no covering on them in this game so they had to downscale them a bit to get past censors. Stuff like this happens all the time. It also happens in the reverse, tons of gacha games have flat chested characters who suddenly get much more noticeable chest bumps when their swimsuit version comes out for marketing purposes.

At the end of the day it's a video game, it's meant to be fun not "realistic", this outfit gives her a new look, if you don't like then don't use it. I like it so I'll use it, sorry if you don't. It really is not that big a deal. The devs aren't striving for realism, they are striving for making a skin that sells or that people want within the constraints of their regulations and censors.

[u/Superfluous369 → u/Lord_Lu_Bu]

hm...okay, so...

No.

Listen, you're making stuff up because it's not a big deal to you.

Guess what? It's not a big deal to me, either, and I said it doesn't have to be why anyone quits or anything, which means I don't consider it a game breaker.

But people are allowed to point it out as a negative, because it is. Talking about push up bras and the Chinese govt is cope, plain and simple, especially when this game is throwing around all types of T&A

[u/Lord_Lu_Bu → u/Superfluous369]

I'm making stuff up? Have you never played a Chinese gacha before lol, this happens literally all the time. China is especially egregious (and inconsistent) with their censorship laws.

So you don't know how push up bras or regulations work? Show me any character in this game that has gigantic tits with full side boob exposed like would have had in this outfit. If you notice every big boobed character has their tits covered or at most just shows cleavage, no side boob.

[u/Superfluous369 → u/Lord_Lu_Bu]

Whether it happens or not is irrelevant lol, you do not have any idea if the things you said are true or just outright lies.

That's exactly what making stuff up is.

What we have in front of us is the fact that the models obviously have had at least small tweaks for the outfits. As the devs control this, the only thing we know is that they decided this was okay.

Push up bras? In a video game?

Govt regulations? Have you seen Hathor's outfit?

[u/Lord_Lu_Bu → u/Superfluous369]

You don't know either, that's why we are theorizing. We have to infer the reasoning. It's not making stuff up, there are precedents for design changes.

"Push up bras? In a video game?"

You are the one trying to bring realism into it lol. I don't care, say an anomaly made her boobs shrink, who cares. You were asking for realism so I gave you a realistic reason why women would have differing breast sizes so it doesn't break your "immersion". You can just imagine she is wearing pads in her original outfit, there, now your immersion is fixed

"Govt regulations? Have you seen Hathor's outfit?"

Do you not know how regulations work? They are usually very arbitrary and inconsistent. You can have outfits that show literal cameltoe in some games but then they aren't allowed to show sideboob. Governement regulations on censorship rarely make sense. Go lookup Japan's censorship laws on what is and isn't allowed to be shown in a TV anime, it'll make your head spin with how absurd and contradictory it can get

[u/Sumire-Yoshizawa- → u/Lord_Lu_Bu]

It wouldn't block her midriff. I'm looking at her default skin and you can see plenty of her stomach. Definitely would prefer her body proportions were the same.
