Surprised to see so much hate and fear over an option that you would by no means be forced to select. Why do so many people view it as your character losing or not having a tail when it would be more likely to have it just underneath a robe, cape, etc.
I can't imagine it would be hard to do as client side only seeing as they did it for mch's gauss barrel. Personally, I would like it just to be hidden specifically on gear with capes, with maybe an option to hide it on robes.
"Hide Helmet" doesn't hide everyone's helmet, just your own. Why would "Hide Tail" hide anyone else's tail? Why are people acting like OP wants to go around cutting people's tails off? Lmao
A hide tail option would be nice in lieu of just designing it so my tail doesn't clip through my flipping cape. I love my tail, don't get me wrong--it's cute and chubby and I could hug it all day. But I just don't want to see it jutting through my own capes when I feel like wearing a cape.
That's the thing about "options". You don't have to do it. some will, some won't. so what?
Perhaps SE could at least pretend to give a rat's ass about making tails not clip through everything. In XI, many armor types were styled specifically for Mithra and Galka to account for their tails.
In a game that has races that aren't all human, this should be something they take into consideration. The tail clipping in XIV is laughable, and it's obvious they're not even trying to work around it at this point.
Honestly, if you are solely bothered by the tail clipping through gear and not everything else that also clips, you're not making much of a good argument and sound more or less like a hypocrite.
If you're bothered by the tail clipping, then you should be bothered by your feet, hands, arms, hair, legs, and everything else under Thal's Balls clipping like crazy.
It's a poor argument to be bothered by the tail clipping and then just ignore all of the other issues that causes clipping just because it doesn't fit OP's narrative.
Furthermore, I've never seen one game where it didn't have a clipping issue.
The main thing that distinguishes tailed races from other non-tailed races is largely their tail. I don't see the point in implementing a "hide tail" option, but whatever floats one's boat I guess. That said, there are certain armor sets that would probably be better off not showing a tail, or at least better accommodate them, and imo they should be reworked.
It's not the option that throws me off.. it's just with everything else that clips in the game.. what makes the tail the breaking point? I guess you don't wear ANY mogstation items like any of the poofy dresses cause your arms clip inside those, the red jacket cause anything hair longer then the lesbian cuts clips that.. and on and on and on. Like I said. The tail clipping is the LEAST of this game's issues. either just deal with it or don'tt play the tail races. But adding a pointless option JUST for tails IS wasted time and money. Hair is a far bigger issue and you don't see a hide hair option. Or arms for dresses or whatever .. it just gets stupid.
I would rather a simplified armor option to avoid clipping then clipping off miqote tail
