Please stop hiding miqo'te ears (and other races') from certain head gear

The new tomes gear introduced in 7.2 for Fending and Maiming hides Miqote ears, been waiting on a knight helmet like this for long but I guess you can never win with these developers.

The new cap (neon cap? don't know the english name) we can already see on the market board also hides miqo ears.

That's correct. See the picture of the Neon Street Cap below:

In cruiserweight storyline didn’t the hat the catboi was wearing when we ambushed him to force him to retire if he lost also hide his ears

Like they are even doing it to NPC’s now

Of course, because he was wearing a dyed Calfskin Rider's Cap iirc and that one hides the ears...

The new Warden's Attire in the FFXIV store is said to "conceal character tails" in the description. While not strictly an ear issue, it's yet another example of racial trait removal.

You're entitled to have your own opinion, I find it unsightly, either do it correctly, or not do it at all.

You saying 'just show it guise' then quoting me is basically you saying:

"I don't care if they poorly do it!!! LET IT STICK OUT!"

Makes me wonder who is actually wanting a poorly done job here...?

Both can be happy in this case, make it a toggle in the character menu to hide/show ears on all helmets
I want my ears to always show even if its just clipping through a hat
same with my tail

I'm on the other side of the fence. There can't be enough headgear to hide ears, horns and other stuff.

I just don't understand why they can't make "show ears/tail" a toggle or option like the visor option - because showing ears/tail is literally just a metadata toggle, it wouldn't require any extra modeling work unless they wanted to make custom models to add earholes/pockets like ARR gear has. And as Viera players have shown, most people would rather put up with their ears clipping right through their hats vs no hat or no ears.


Because if I'm playing a race with horns, or ears, and a tail, I want to see my damn traits. If I wanted those hidden or not to see them I'd just play a Hyur...

Hyur are boring. silly faces and silly animations. Even more these traits (Au'Ra, Miqote, Viera) ruin certain glams because their colors are completely off.
