The butt enhancing powers of the Nier: Automata gear in Final Fantasy XIV: Shadowbringers may🍬 have been removed, but the change is only temporary - it's expected to bꦡe restored in a patch that launches today.
Final Fantasy XIV: Shadowbringers has a crossover event with Nier: Automata, in the form of the YoRHa:Dark Apocalypse raids. The rewards for completing these raids include gear that resembles 2B's outfit in Nier: Automata. The fans quickly discovered that the gear also made their character's butt look bigger, which is something that is normally impossible to accomplish, as Final Fantasy XIV lacks the body 𒈔modification options fou🎶nd in other MMORPGs.
The butt enhancing effect was removed, causing a backlash from fans. Final Fantasy XIV director/producer Naoki Yoshida explained the situation during a livestream and it was later clarified by , who reached out to Square Enix for a statement. It turns out that the big butts had clipping issues that caused problems when the character sat down. The 5.18 patch (which launches today) will fix the issue and restore the Nier: Automata gear's aesthetic changes.
Final Fantasy XIV has fewer options when it comes to altering body shape than other MMORPGs, the reason for this being to make it easier for the developers to design armor. The fact that players can change the appearance of their gear means that there is an incredible amount of variety when it comes to aesthetics, but there hasn't been much in the way of altering the shape of a character's body. The fact that the Nier: Automata ge⛦ar did offer that change was a big deal to some players who want their character to stand out from the crowd.
2B from Nier: Automata has been praised for her character design and she became a popular choice for cosplayers a✱round the world. It seems that even the residents of Eorzea want to look like 2B, even if it's just from the waist down.
The 5.18 patch for Final Fantasy XIV will launch today.
