Oh, wow. Those are tiny hands on those B&S characters! I gotta be honest, those are creepy-small. Freakishly mind-numbingly small.
Yeah, just like Barbie indeed.
I played blade & soul and the character hands arnt that bad. They seem pritty porpotional compared to the characters height and weight. Remember your hand is suppose to be as big as spreading it across your entire face. Male hands arnt very small either on B&S.
I have youtube videos of B&S

Well, their palms and tops of the hands aren't too TOO small (but they still are really small, they cover like half the face when spread out), but they are crazy thin, making their fingers look sooooo thin and needley.
Just the art style, it looks a little weird at first, but you quickly get used to it.
It's no worse (better actually) than the Popeye forearms on human/orc males in 'that other game'.
Hands are big to hold gigantic weapons. It would look weird if the hands were small holding such large weapons, unless you want the weapons to be scaled down as well.
I'm fine with Tera's art style for hands and body looking proper.
B&S on the other hand gives women giant thighs and the rest of the leg is scrawny, the legs are far too long compared to the rest of the body and it drives my OCD crazy.
