Reason: Gené is a Phantasy Star character and we have some of her outfits in game, but it's impossible to truly recreate her due to the Chest Slider limitations.
Why: Increasing the Chest Slider would not only allow players to better recreate Gené, it would in general increase the variety of looks players are able to create. Plus it would also help fight any sort of false advertisement allegations due to players being unable to reach that size, even with the advertised outfits.

Y’know what I’m not even mad 
formal request to increase sliders I’m in
kindred steppe
Not going to say no to this since it is because cosplaying PSO2 characters
torpid bough
im torn because like i fundamentally agree that we should be able to properly recreate her but then the sphere/bosom market would be in shambles 
jaunty maple
Nah people will always want bigger than SEGA will ever realistically implement + sphere/bosom can still be used to change the appearance of outfits so it’s fine the market will survive

gene totalwear
i fundamentally kind of agree with the point being made but after a certain point the model will just look bad
like if youre super curvy and wear a costume thast blatantly designed around being small, the opposite issue kind of exists too
kindred steppe
I just don't like when they look unnatural
torpid bough
yeah a lot of the time they look ok in 2d art but if you ever see them in 3d it would look awful
gene is actively disproportionate and you'd notice it a lot more if she was 3d with her real propotions and not 2d
jaunty maple
The unnatural look is always gonna suck a bit but when X is set to 0, it can look a bit more reasonable at least
jaunty maple
like if youre super curvy and wear a costume thast blatantly designed around bei...
Also that’s a good point tbf though arguably
I’d say that’s kinda just to be expected with some outfits anyway
Similar case to all the waistcloth issues with curvier chars

gene totalwear
Im surprised we didnt get totalwears for this scratch tbh
I wonder whats the reason for that? 
torpid bough
people typically just dont wear them tbh
like if someone wants the npc look theyre more often than not just going to make the NPC using their official creation data as a template and then tweak them
another more likely thing is because the totalwear costumes technically count as T1 outfits so they dont have the bounciness people would want from them 
jaunty maple
torpid bough
npcs just arent as fun if you cant customize them though
so thats gonna be the main factor
forest trout
Totalwears also include hairstyle and everything which also means people who wana cosplay the character dont have to buy everything anymore
That cuts into sales ya know
torpid bough
nah its a fair tradeoff bc you cant do ANYTHING to it otherwise
most people do not just want the stock look without putting their own spin on it
jaunty maple
Imean Totalwear for npcs at least- everything is practically SG anyway LOL
Ig with Gene (if it were a thing) / Manon and Aina’s swimwear / the collab ones that’s fair tho
forest trout
*Imean Totalwear for npcs at least- everything is practically SG anyway LOL*
We had some in a recent collab too which is why i say im surprised they didnt do this one too
The Atelier collab
jaunty maple
That one yea
I don’t think people are fussed about cosplaying those chars as much as they just want their own chars in said char’s clothing

totalwear feels more like its leverage for licensing stuff. like a "people can freely use these items but these other items will ensure they only look like the character"
jaunty maple
It’s cool to cosplaying a character with your own unique items but
Just being given an exact replica has nothing special to it
kindred steppe
Totalwear is just a uneditable premade look loadout, which is also why the everything used in totalwear has to exist on its own
jaunty maple
Like recreating 2B with unique items for example feels a lot more special than if there was just a 2B totalwear
torpid bough
like as easy as it is to say "money!" sometimes the reason something doesnt happen is bc there arent enough people that care
jaunty maple
That’s true too yea

This is an important feedback and I support it.

🤔 Doesn't look like that on the in-game npc, released in March 2016 & April 2021 and then we have the ac banner.
I'm not opposing, just adding what we've been given over the years vs the art.
tidal delta
Then they shouldn't tease us with art that does not reflect the game.
This is a question of honor.
storm flume
False advertising it is.
rain lava
I'm not sure false advertising counts when the art was created for a mobile game 2yrs ago.

“Ppl love Gene for her personality”
🙄
forest trout
Her boobas have gotten bigger and bigger along the years as well as her thighs
Similar to that Rikka girl from SSS Gridman lmao
Oh and Ryza too
Hecc even Hatsune Miku got hit by the thiccening at some point too
Its very common when they do art for some racing event or whatever

The slider size is fine as is. And I think this collab with ES is a mistake and is hurting the franchise's image imo.

The garoa setwear changes your physique.
So there are chances a gene setwear could also do that, it doesn't need to be totalwear.
Of course, setwear has limitations too.. but you can still change your face and accessories, so I think it's a decent compromise

thats kind of going too far. i just enjoy if there is variety thats the only reason i upvoted this.

what image?

unrelated but we need a dna collab

increase sliders and you have to check and fix every costume released to this day
wait for n-n-clothing instead
stable jacinth
funny bit to claim "character accuracy" when things like the matoi statue exist with varying scales on the chest
which is lore accurate
worldly rose
release it as a new body type instead
torpid bough
honestly since each costume can have its own player model its very easy to just have an alt version of gene costumes with more exaggerated bust sizes xd
