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

I'm not saying they shouldn't do it, but if they do, it needs to be done tastefully. It needs to be appropriate for the tail, and there should be a way to switch it on and off.

Respect my ears and my tail!

There was a really nice DRG coat with proper rigged tail armor (can't remember when)

Found it, it's the level 80 gear. Tail looks great. I'm not a fan of the rest of the coat. I would love something like that on the level 50 gear.

Meanwhile in FFXIV random armors with garish capes or even armor with nothing, chops ours off.

Those are awesome.

There is an ear switch now for vierra on selected gear. They should make it work for other races too. A tail switch would be nice too.

Two other exceedingly rare case of Tail Armor is the level 9089 DRK set and the Radiant armors from EW, specifically the Fending and Maiming set.

Also took a picture of the lvl 80 DRG set as well

But the best we can hope to get generally is having the tail clip horribly through everything.

And then the Clouddark armors of Fending and Maiming had tail armor but hid them...

Well, we waited for the update where Vierra added a checkbox to show or hide ears in hats, caps, etc. BUT the Miqo'te still don't deserve it... sad..

The newest Star Captain's Hat from the 7.31 update of Cosmic Exploration also hides miqo'te ears.

I feel like if they outsource the item refurbishment to community modders, they would be faster with it and they would do it for free. They could make it a contest and set the rules.

(while we at it make a pvp armor design contest, because that modern gear is uff)

It also shows Viera ears and has a working on/off toggle for those. Gotta love how they went in and coded an entirely new UI addition for ear toggles and then only made it apply to a single race despite the Miqo ear amputation/squishing having been a problem for much longer.

I was a former catboy in the past, but the whole viera hat with ear toggle is a monkey's paw situation, like we ONLY got hats since this it was the easiest way to get it working or NO hats at all like we'll never get custom ear holes like miq in the past ever.

If SE does add the toggle for miq it means there's zero chance of any ear socks or custom ear holes in the future, which will be sacrificed to cut more corners.

Agreed. The implementation for viera looks unfinished as the ears just clip through. If they are going to show, then they should design ear holes accordingly.
