SE.. You have tailed races, you know?

Ugh imagining if this game had proper physics and you could see the cape move as your tail sways back and forth underneath, it would be so cute!

More capes SE? Seriously? We've recently seen the updated numbers, and tailed races are still the most played. I wonder if this new set will cut off our character's tails, or if it's just going to clip through this time? How many more caped pieces of gear are we going to get in Endwalker?

For their tail to go through! Hey, it's that or a tailsock.

I'm on team tail toggle with capes: turn on to show the tail, turn off to hide. Though I also don't mind the clipping, accommodation for tails and ears would be appreciated as my biggest problem is that I can't even find my tail beneath the cape. They just went in for a tail amp. ;w;

I'll take what I can get, and it's not bothering me enough right now to change what I glamour. I'll just be pretending that the tail is beneath the cape, as it should be.

Could do what wow does and have the cloak floating over and around the tail.

it looks stupid though.

They float outwards and don't touch the tail, but they look like they're held up by magic. Was gonna post a pic but I can't seem to find one. So I took one myself.

They're static for the most part however. They flow outwards a little while running, but not much. the tails don't move at all.

You will never get a toggle. Best get used to it. They could just modify the gear on tailed races and completely remove the cape from them, like how they alter gear between male/female sometimes.

Some of the new astronomy tomestone armors have tail armor that is actually attached to your tail and moves with it, which is a little detail I appreciate given that the armor was designed by a culture with a substantial Au Ra population.

The tank/DRK version does.

Unfortunately the other melee ones does not.

Why do you have holes in your shirts? For your arms. Trails are just extra limbs. So just pretend there's a hole in the cape that you put your tail through.

Problem solved.

Part of me wishes there was just a button to hide tails for outfits with capes or robes. (Like the one for the meteor survivor tattoo)

The only way to do that "properly" would be to give the capes really detailed physics which I don't think is really a reasonable expectation, that's a lot of work.
