Just think of the possibilities! A fat priestess will be able to tank even better than before while having a humorous, round sprite! Monks with mental strength will have more HP to rely on. Buff would give characters more attack power at the cost of hit. Good for those that rely on criticals for damage.
Quagmire's from a thin wiz with high agility will be more effective for them. Thin Agility knight's will have almost as much flee as an Assassin, while Assassins themselves will probably be able to further their flee to greater heights. I've been thinking about this for months. Plus, it would be neat to see a fat knight riding a peco.
About how to achieve such attributes? Maybe if an item is eaten, like Magic cake to turn fat, or Magic carrot to turn somebody thin. Then to turn back to normal, you would probably have to talk to an NPC or eat an item like "boring bar" which turns you back to normal.
Also, I don't know if they would have to make new sprites from scratch or if they would manipulate the existing sprites to achieve these new forms. What is the usual art route for kRO in regards to sprites? What do you think of this game feature? I think this would add even more diversity in how characters look.
